I had a fun-filled day with Flat Ruthie at Disneyland. She organized everything, including stops at the Magic Kingdom and the California Adventure parks. We met in front of her favorite boat ride, “It’s a Small World.”
To plan our time, Flat Ruthie took out a map of the park and pondered where to go first, second, third… She’s so energetic, and the heat didn’t bother her at all. What a great traveler she is!
And now Flat Ruthie would like to take over the commentary.
Here I am at the new “Cars” attraction. I wanted a close-up of myself and that iconic sign, Route 66:
I had some ice cream at the Cozy Cone, but as you can see it’s all gone.
I wish I could find a hat that fits!
Am I too small to go on this ride? And where’s the boat?
It’s Meg again. Flat Ruthie has the best sense of adventure, and today was a lot of fun. I wonder where I’ll see her next…
Fun times! I have never been to Disneyland. How does it compare to Disney World in Orlando? Because I LOVE Disney World.
It was great! Disneyland is smaller with two parks, and you can walk to it from many of the hotels. They just opened a “Cars” attraction and if you liked the movie you’ll really appreciate how they recreated Radiator Springs!
Flat Ruthie is the perfect travelling companion, you look like you had a great time together!
I had lots of fun, and Ruthie did a good job of planning. I’m glad she did because there’s so much to see and do there!
Now I have the Small World theme music stuck in my head…. :(
Flat Ruthie is taking you on quite a fun tour of Disney! We’ve been to Disney World in FL several times, but never CA’s Disneyland. Great times! :)
It’s a catchy tune, isn’t it? Flat Ruthie did a great job of planning! Disneyland is the smaller park, but it’s full of fun rides and attractions :)
I couldn’t stop smiling at the “it’s a small world” photo. Great work, Meg. Now I know what you got up to in LA!
I’ve been to both of the Disney parks- how can you not love them? It’s the child in all of us.
That’s so great you’ve been to both parks! It’s easy to be a kid again when you’re there, and that’s something I think is very special :)
Haha, I bet you shared the ice-cream! ;-)
And here I was hoping no one would think of that! She did need a “little” help with the ice cream :)
Ruthie is a good planner!
That’s for sure – she’s very thorough!
Love it – Great Photos – Happy Monday!
Thanks – Ruthie and Disneyland are very photogenic! And you have a great day too!
Disney really knows how to make it special. Glad Ruthie took care of the details for you :)
It’s really a fun place to visit! And it was great to have such a good guide too :)
I love Your post. It was a great pleasure to read it and admire those photos. My last visit there was in 1998. Maybe it has changed since that.
Thanks! It’s great that you’ve been there – I think it’s a wonderful place to visit anytime :)
Next time Flat Ruthie comes to town, please have her let me know! I have a Disney pass…and perhaps she and I can share an ice cream at the Carnation spot! Ha! I’m SO glad the two of you had fun! :-) Debra
She’d be delighted to do that! Ruthie was always on the lookout for ice cream, and I know she’ll like your plan :)
Oh no, It’s a Small World tune will be with me all day
Oops – I actually was only thinking of the name of the ride for that picture!
Plus, she packs so little that you don’t have to pay for another bag! LOL!
That’s a good point- Flat Ruthie travels light. I’d like to learn packing tips from her!
I hope Ruthie didn’t have a problem with the height restrictions on some of the rides. I’m sure you both had a good time no matter what rides you enjoyed.
She was too small to go on just about all of the rides! But she was a good sport about it and ate ice cream and cotton candy instead :)
Looks like you and Flat Ruthie had a fun day! She’s clearly a hoot to travel with!
You’re right, it was lots of fun :) She had the map of the park memorized – she even knew where to find benches in the shade!
What a FUN post!!! Really enjoyed my virtual travel with Flat Ruthie!
Thank you! Flat Ruthie is a great traveler – it’s a challenge keeping up with her :)
What a fun-filled day Flat Ruthie had and I love the photos, it has been 20 years since I went to Disneyland and I’ve always wanted to go back – Flat Ruthie would make an excellent guide :-)
I hope you get the chance to go back – it’s such a great place to visit! And with Ruthie along it’s even more fun :)
Love the paper storyteller!
She really is great, and she’s an expert on traveling too!
How wonderful to have such a fun travel companion! Great photos. I understand how she would need help with her ice cream and desserts :-)
She was very willing to share all the treats (mainly ice cream and chocolate) with me. This made her just about perfect!
I love your visit with Flat Ruthie! I’m only familiar with Stanley…but that’s ok. I’m figuring they must be related! ;) Looks like the two of you had a great time!
And ice cream, of course! !! Love your post!
Flat Ruthie travels everywhere and she likes adventures, including finding ice cream shops. In other words, it was a fun day!
Bonjour Meg! There’s something for you at my blog.
