We invited the daughter of our new BFF's to join us at Enchanted Forest and they had SO much fun. Much more fun than had it been our family alone, and it relieved Gary and me of the duty of feigning interest in every attraction. The experience was well worth bringing a guest, and Aquilla was a pleasure to have along.
This time we splurged on the unlimited ride bracelets for the kids, which was also a great value and prevented us having to limit their fun.
Madelyn was a little disturbed after the log ride and didn't want to go again at first (which we found odd since Splash Mountain was one of her favorites at Disneyland and this is more tame). But I'm glad she mustered the courage to go a second time with me. Having her along actually helped me be an example of bravery before the big drop. :)
