Jolie Visits Disneyland!

Today Jolie visits Disneyland! We decided to go early in the morning so that we can be back by afternoon. I wonder if Jolie knew that she would soon be seeing her beloved Mickey Mouse in person!

It's a public holiday, so sis could accompany us there. The best way was by train, so we hopped on and played Angry Bird on Sis's iPhone all the way. Jolie seemed to enjoy it, she would clap each time the bird manage to hit the target.



Time flies when you're having fun, before we know it, we've already reached our stop, in fact, we almost forgot to alight! We next hopped on the Mickey train and Jolie immediately recognize the Mickey handrails.



We're here! Jolie squealed in delight as she spotted Mickey on top of the banner.



It was very sunny, so I quickly bought a cute cap for Jolie, she likes it too! By the way I was wearing one of the T-shirts that I just bought.



When we arrived all the Disney characters were out for everyone to take photos with. But the queue for Mickey was SOOO long! We opted to take photo with Pluto instead. Besides, Jolie didn't mind, she was just as excited to see Pluto live in 'person'.



In case you're wondering about my crazy-woman-hair, it was windy!



We didn't really eat breakfast, so we took refuge from the heat in the cool comforts of an air-conditioned restaurant. Their waffles and fruits are Mickey Mouse shaped! So cute!





It was really sunny and hot, and I was worried that Jolie wouldn't be able to handle the heat. So we chose all the rides that was either sheltered or indoors.



We bee-lined to our favourite ride, The Pooh Bear Hunny Pot ride! So shiok, got air-con...



Next was the Cinderella's Carousel. She wanted to get out even before the ride starts, so in the end I had to sit behind her on the horse. Squeezy, but it's the only way she'll stay on the horse. I think the heat was making her tired, she was getting more and more cranky.



I think the last time I rode the Dumbo ride, I was just a child in Tokyo Disneyland. I never rode it again as I thought it was too kiddy, so this time I have the perfect excuse to get on it again. :)





We also watched a 4D show. Jolie wouldn't put the glasses on, so she didn't really watch it. But Sis and I sure enjoyed it!



After lunch, Jolie was getting tired, so Sis suggested that we make a move. But I just can't leave without letting Jolie take a picture with Mickey! I mean, we flew all the way here just for her to meet her beloved Mouse! Lucky lucky! The Mickey gang was out again, so we queued for Mickey while sweating away in the freaking hot and humid weather. Seriously, I think they should arrange the photo taking sessions in an air-conditioned studio! This way everybody would be comfortable right?!

So finally it was our turn. We looked sweaty and oily, but Jolie's face lid up when she saw Mickey. That alone was enough to make it all worth it. :)





By the time we reached the train station, I can't take it anymore. My legs were aching like mad, not forgetting my ankle was starting to swell up again. Must.Sit.Down. Jolie came over to join me when she saw me sit on the steps.



Poor baby must have been SO tired. The moment we got on the train, she was like, KO!



She slept through the whole train ride and even continued sleeping while Sis and I ate at this fabulous noodle restaurant, 喜宴. It was a little difficult to eat while carrying her, but I managed to finish a whole meal while she slept in my arms!



She woke up when we were almost finished and gave us a groggy smile. I wondered if she dreamt of Mickey Mouse and flying elephants? They say that children wouldn't have much memories of their life before 3 years old, I wonder if Jolie would remember anything from her very 1st trip to Disneyland?
