So today we went to California Adventure Park and rode 12 rides (I rode 11). The highlight was The IncrediCoaster (based on the movie The Incredibles). My sister sat out because it went upside down, but the rest of us went (none of them had ever been either). Best. Ride. Ever. I had no idea I was a rollercoaster person until I was going upside down and laughing and screaming. The kids got off not sure they were still breathing, except for Hudson (10). Maybe it’s something to do with his autism, but he wanted to do it again!
We’re back at the hotel now, recouping. The photo is of Mulan, one of the “princesses” at the Princess Breakfast yesterday when my sister took me (the girls went two years ago). Except for one incident of my sister biting my head off, it’s been a blast. And hey, since I’m only paying for all my food and she’s splitting the cost with my dad, I’ll let her bite my head off once.
Are you a rollercoaster person?

Not really. Glad you are having a good time. My sister will occasionally do that over the stupidest stuff. She can be really petty.

Pretty and I loved going on the roller coasters at the local amusement parks in Missouri. We haven't been to any of the amusement parks since we moved into this house nine years ago. I've gotten too big to fit in the seats for the rollercoasters we preferred. I could still ride the log rides or other ones like that, though.
I'm sure your sister was stressed out over something. I'm sorry she took it out on you.

Oh, that’s okay. She actually was stressed about something she and her husband have been trying to get settled for a month, and unfortunately, she’s a snapper. I try not to take it personally.
I bet you could have fit, DE. My BIL is a large fellow, and he fit. My sister said Disney’s park make most, not all, of their rides intentionally friendly for larger people.

@AmbiePam Silver Dollar City definitely doesn't make their rides friendly for larger people. I only weighed about 200 lbs the last time we were there and I didn't fit in the seats of the Wildfire. I was sitting on the armrests.

@DaddyEvil I totally agree. We went five years ago to Silver dollar City, and my BIL couldn’t fit on the majority of them.

No, I’m not. I’ve been on a few in my time and they make me so nauseous…I would have to pass! But I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I am definitely not a roller coaster person. I dislike being out of control.

Wow - you got a lot of rides in! I think when we last went (years ago), that rollercoaster was California Screamin' . . . Hubby and my daughter got to go on, but my son was too small so we just hung out. She loved it. Ohhhh, sounds like it was exhilarating . . . that's an awesome feeling! I used to love rollercoasters as a kid - I mean, I wanted to go on all the "big" rides even if I didn't make the height requirement 
. How was the Princess breakfast food?

@much2say Our initial breakfast appointment was for 11:55am, because thought we were flying. But when we got there, we asked if they had any earlier offerings, so they were nice enough to let us come in at 9:30am. Which was perfect timing.

Ohhhh, what a buffet . . .. was it a "brunch" thing? That looks so good - the Mickey waffle is too cute. I'll find that post!!

When I was a kid, I loved rollercoasters, not any more.

I used to love roller coasters but now I'm too old to do all that upside down stuff. Glad you and the kids enjoyed it and it certainly sounds like you're having a blast on your vacation.
