Disneyland

After Christmas we headed down south to visit friends that live in San Diego. On our way down we decided to make an impromptu visit to Disneyland. The kids did not really know what Disneyland was so when we told them we were going they didn't quite have the reaction we thought they would (you know, the ones that make you cry on the Disney commercials). But after a wonderful day at the happiest place on earth I am sure they will be jumping up and down next time we tell them we are going......

Standing in our first line for Peter Pan. We were at Disneyland on the 28th of December which is one of the busiest days at the park (the day before the park actually closed at around 3 due to being at full capacity). We got there right when it opened and tried to go on all of the popular rides we could before the huge lines started. We didn't end up spending as much time in line as we expected because the kids couldn't ride the really popular rides so we had a great time visiting all of the lands and riding the rides I remember as a child.





Riding "It's a Small World"
Meeting Tinkerbell. As you can see Emma is excited. Johnny.....not so sure. By the way, this was probably our longest wait...just to take a photo with Tinkerbell. So Enjoy...this is 40 minutes of our lives we can never get back...

Our most adult ride was Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny and Emma sat in the front with John and my parents and I sat behind. Emma loved it but Johnny was glued to John the entire ride. After every other ride he exclaimed "more! More!" After this one, he said "scary...no ride"

In the Sleeping Beauty Castle.....
In Tarzan's tree house.....


We skipped the parade to hit some more rides but did catch a princess show where Emma learned how to dance like a princess. Like she needs any more encouragement in her princess ways....
The Jungle Cruise was as awesome as I remembered it....

The new Buzz lightyear ride was a favorite with the kids. You got to shoot bad guys with lasers and got points while spinning around. A twenty minute wait for this defiantly beat Tinkerbell...
The park was all decorated for the holidays and the castle was pretty amazing at night....
We got to the park at 8am when they opened and left at 9pm after a fabulous day. This was one of those experiences I couldn't wait to have with my kids and it exceeded my expectations. Can't wait for our next visit!
