Finding Nemo Voyage and Disneyland

A new ride is scheduled for grand opening on Monday at Disneyland. The submarines have had a total rehab and has taken on the Finding Nemo theme. Sometimes leading up to the opening of a new ride/attraction, there will be a preview of the ride. It's a way to work out the staging of the line, and geting all the cast members ready, kinks worked out, etc. When we went to Disneyland last week, we hoped of a preview of the ride, no such luck. But today, when we arrived at Disneyland we headed straight for Tomorrowland and were excited to see the Submarines up and running and open the to public. We wasted no time in ditching the stroller and getting in line. We waited in line for over an hour, and the girls did great waiting that long. The new ride was fun and the girls are already looking forward to riding it again when we meet a friend and her little boy on Tuesday. When we got off the Nemo ride, Uncle Bart had arrived and was waiting for us. From there, we had lunch and then headed over to the Pirates Lair on Tom Sawyer's Island. Uncle Bart hadn't seen the new stuff yet and Hannah enjoyed showing him all the new stuff in the caves and the treasure, etc.We did a few more things in Disneyland and then went over to California Adventure where it always seems a little less crowded. Hannah and Uncle Bart went on Grizzly River Run. They got soaked!! But had a blast! The other thing that Hannah has come to really love doing is rock climbing in the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail area. They have an easy wall and a harder wall. Hannah can do both and gets better and better each time she does it (which has been everytime we've gone the last several trips).We stayed into the evening, checking back into Disneyland to see if the crowds had gotten any better and if the line for Nemo was perhaps shorter than earlier in the day, it wasn't, so we headed for home.
