Disneyland (long post)

Last Wednesday, the boys and I headed to Anaheim (we were all sad Ty couldn't come with us). We arrived at our hotel around 6pm. After unloading and checking out our AWESOME room (we got a free upgrade; 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, living room and full kitchen), we went to check out the Garden Walk which was right across the street from the hotel. The kids really liked all the fountains and the murals...they even posed in front of a couple. Around 8pm we packed up and headed to LAX to pick up my sister, Jen and her friend, Nicole. By the time we got back to the hotel we were very tired.

The next morning we were up and out of the hotel early, ready to start our day! DISNEYLAND!! Before we went on our first ride, we met up with Chip, Goofy and Mickey.

Then it was off to Tomorrowland for some new adventures! We rode as many rides as we could before heading to Frontierland for Fantasmic and the Fireworks shows. After the shows, we were exhausted, so we hit the bus and went back to the hotel for some much needed sleep.

The next day, Friday, we headed into Disney's California Adventure Park where we rode more rides and met more Disney characters. That night we had awesome seats to watch World of Color.






Saturday, our last day, we headed back to Disneyland where we met up with my other sister, Jessica and her mother-in-law Deanna. We again rode more rides and saw more characters. We even went into Mickey's house!!


The best part of the day, by far, was the Princess Fantasy Faire area. Ian got a rocket painted on his face. Luke didn't want his face painted, so instead he played with all the princess hats :P
We watied about an hour to see the Princess' and it was TOTALLY worth the wait. Ian had all 3 ladies (Mulan, Ariel and Belle) laughing their heads off. He even had Belle blushing :P

Looks like you guys had a great time. We couldn't figure out how to see the characters without waiting in long lines. Next time we go, you'll have to give us some tips.

Mickey, Goofy, Chip, Buzz and Stitch we lucked out...the lines were super-short! I sneaked a quick shot of Pluto (with Luke) right before he left (we didn't wait in line). The Princesses we waited in line to see, but it was def. worth the wait :P
