DISNEYLAND OR BUST!

The Matterhorn

My friend Tigger

Princess Aurora

The Best Dog Ever, Pluto!

Princess Jasmine

We went to Ariel's Grotto and the girl's got to see all the princesses. The characters at Disneyland were definitely the favorite! They enjoyed the rides too, but really wanted to see all the people in their costumes. Sarah thinks they are real and Cat was a bit uncertain, we all know how much she loves people in costumes...not so much! Overall, we went, we conquered, and we are pooped! It was such a fun experience for our family. Brady and the girls had never been and I had gone once when I was a lot younger, so it was pretty exciting for all of us. The drive took forever for the kids, but once we got to our hotel and they could see Disneyland across the street they brightened up. We got up and were at the park when it opened and that saved us so much time. We managed to get on several rides right away, that later on had huge lines! I recommend being there early. We watched the Disneyland parade and the California Adventure Park Electrical Parade and then the fireworks. That kept us up until 10pm and our kids were so done. We didn't get up quite so early the next day. Saturday at Disneyland is a nightmare! Next time, we will go on a Monday or Tuesday. Catherine went on the Matterhorn roller coaster twice and wasn't quite big enough for the others yet, but we'll get them next time. Sarah loved Critter Country were Pooh and his friends were, she loved on all of them and didn't want to leave. Her favorites were definitely Tigger and Pluto. She is constantly looking at those two in her autograph book. Cat's favorite part she says, was the roller coaster, but I think that she really liked the Peter Pan ride, she kept asking to go on it. When it was time to leave that was the ride she chose to be her last ride. Sarah chose the Teacups, which made Brady sick every time we went on them. Poor Daddy! We had a great time and we are already looking forward to going again soon!
