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!

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 :)
