More Disneyland

This is Abby going through Nick's phone pics, and I found a bunch from our first day that were never posted. Included are a couple on Main Street showing the crowds waiting for the rope drop to let everyone in to the rest of the park. Luckily we were almost at the front. We immediately signed the boys up for the first Jedi Training of the day because all the day's slots fill up within minutes. The bottom pics show the boys learning light saber moves, as well as the opportunity to defeat Darth Vader or the evil 7th Sister from the cartoons. We adults (and Signe) were entertained watching the show while munching on corn dogs. It was pretty cool when the middle of the stage rose up as the kids used "the force", and to see Darth Vader appear in a cloud of smoke (and later Kylo Ren).
Nick was one of the first in line to get Space Mountain fastpasses that lets you into the "cutting line", as Gunnar called it, and Nick took one pic of the view while waiting in line. It was Karsten's favorite ride, and we rode it again on Thursday. We were the very first people of the day to get in the submarine ride that we both remember riding when we were kids back in the 70's, but now with an added "Finding Nemo" theme.
