Disneyland, Part 3--Ride pictures

I often wonder if Disneyland ever sells their ride photos to anyone in this day and age of cell phones, where it's so easy to snap a picture of your picture.  After all, you just want to see everyone's faces.  You don't really need a high quality print.  At least I don't.  Here are a bunch of our ride pictures.

I'm more than about 99.9% sure the scores are mixed up on this next picture.

Space Mountain!  Natalie and Kelton loved this ride.  This was the first trip that they had ever been on it, since it was closed the last time we went to Disneyland.  We didn't take Damon on it.  I think he would have liked it, but he is still little.  I didn't want to run the risk of him not liking it and then never wanting to try it again because he remembers it being scary. 

 

It's very hard to miss the camera in Space Mountain.  We rode this ride so many times that the kids started making faces for the picture.  That's what Kelton is doing--he isn't scared.

More faces.  I always like looking at other people in the pictures.  I can relate to the dad in the front.  He's doing everything in his power to convince his son that this high speed death trap is actually fun and not scary at all.  Been there, done that.

And... more faces.  By this point, I was a bit tired of being blinded by the flash in the pitch blackness.

I decided to play along too.  I think this was the time we rode it first thing in the morning.  Natalie and I ran walked {at an alarmingly fast rate} straight to Space Mountain when the park opened and were only beat by 16 other people to the ride. 

 

Radiator Springs Racers.  The kids all loved this ride, and Damon was tall enough to ride it too!  This ride has been around for a few years, but you still have to go first thing in the morning if you want to get a fastpass for this one.  The one advantage to taking really little kids with you (Arie) is that in addition to fastpasses, you also get rider switch passes.  It basically acts as a second fastpass because the whole family can't ride the ride together at the same time.  So we got to ride this one a lot.
