So we spent today at Disneyland, our first day there after a summer of not being able to use our passes. It was fun, but a little too hot. Thank goodness for Disneyland's Baby Centers...there's one at the end of Main Street (on the right, next to First Aid) and one by the Tortilla Factory in California Adventure. I got to sample both today, and they are fabulous!
They're clean and quiet; they've got AC, nice changing tables, comfortable private/semi-private nursing chairs, mini potties, cute wooden high chairs, and microwaves for warming up bottles. And they'll sell you a pacifier, diapers, or formula if you forgot yours. The one in Disneyland even features a table with toys for toddlers, Victorian wallpaper, and nice old grannies in white aprons. Sooooo much better than camping out on a bench in the heat trying to hide under a blanket while your three-year-old tries to escape.
(Now, if only the mother's lounge at church had more in common with these baby centers....)
On a different note, DB had a great time too. He got to ride Autopia for the first time, and STEER HIS OWN CAR, which was huge. He was so wired by the end of the day that he insisted on dancing in the street right up until we could see the first float of the parade coming. We also strong armed him (OK, we bribed him with ice cream) to ride Pirates of the Caribbean, which he had decided six months ago was too scary. He ran off the ride shouting, "I like that one! It's fun! It's not scary for me!" Oh, and we also tried the new Toy Story Midway Madness, which is like being inside a video game...kinda trippy, but fun (DB loved that one too). Cookie-Nut did great, just catnapped all day and stayed pretty happy. That's all. Oh, and I forgot my camera. Now that's all.

You're so lucky to be able to take DB to Disneyland! I went for the first time at 8 and then again at 23-ish. Andy, though hadn't been EVER. I took him for the 1st time when he was like 28. Andy's older sister has NEVER been. I think it's a sin to not take a child to Disneyland!
I would have to agree about the mother's lounge at church. Although I haven't used one for a couple of years, I always remember standing in line with a fussy baby, waiting for a rocking chair!
Sounds like Disney Land was fun! It may have been even more fun without a camera. I feel like my life is spent looking through the view finder.
I'm so impressed with Disneyland having awesome baby rooms. I may have think better of them now. But really, did I expect anything less of them?
