Disneyland - Day 4

We opened the park and headed straight to Fantasyland to ride Peter Pan's Flight since the line had been so long when we had tried before. Then on to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

Then we headed over to California Adventure to do Tower of Terror, Soarin' Over California, Screamin', Turtle Talk with Crush and Monsters, Inc. and to see a few Characters.






Levi LOVED his lunch box. We were all SO happy that he was finally feeling better!

Then back to Disneyland to finish our day with trading pins, shopping and a few last rides.



It was SO sad to say good-bye to Disneyland...I had tears in my eyes as we left. We did leave a few rides to do the next time we come!! We'll be back!!!

Disneyland - Day 3

Day three started out early in Fantasyland on the it's a small world holiday ride, tea cups and Storybook Land Canal Boats.


Then to Toon Town to see some Characters, rides some rides, and play in some houses.









Then back to Fantasyland for a few more rides. (Bummer, we didn't take any pictures on Dumbo!)



Then a few trips on other modes of transportation before going back to the hotel to catch a taxi.


Nathan's mom and dad treated us all to an evening at a Pirate's Dinner Adventure. It's in Buena Park (just a little drive in the taxi) and it was definitely a HUGE hit with our kids! They LOVED it! We got in early and had yummy appetizers. Our adventure began when we arrived at the King's Festival. As Princess Anita's royal guests, we unexpectedy were invaded by a band of renegade pirates. We were then taken to Captain Sebastian's Cove, where we were served a Port of Call Feast while our adventure continued. We were seated in a huge arena with a pirate ship in the middle. While we ate, we enjoyed sword fighting, amazing acrobatics and just plain fun entertainment!! Did I say that our kids LOVED it? They LOVED it! At one point I checked on Benjamin to see if he needed help cutting up his meat and he told me he would eat later because he didn't want to miss anything the pirates were doing. Katie and Ali both had parts in the show and it was definitely an evening of adventure we will talk about for a long time!!! Here is a picture of our "Orange Pirate". He was awesome!!!!

And then we CRASHED!!!

Disneyland - Day 2

We got up early to open the park and get on some rides before they got a little busy. We started with the Finding Nemo ride and then split up so the bigger kids could ride the scarier rides and I went over to Disney California to get our fast passes for World of Color.






While the big kids were busy on rides Benj and Levi met Pluto and went on a few rides in the Bugs Life area.



Then the big kids came over to Disney California and we spent the rest of our day here. We saw Aladdin - A Musical Spectacular and loved it!


For lunch we went to Ariel's Grotto and met all the princesses. It was delicious and very fun!!





After lunch some of the family went on Screamin while the others went on the carousel.





Then we waited in our longest line of our trip for Toy Story Midway Mania. It was definitely one of our favorite rides and well worth the wait!





Then we went on Silly Symphony Swings, Golden Zephyr and Jumpin' Jellyfish until World of Color started.


We didn't take pictures of World of Color, but it was truly amazing!!! Our friends Jake and Angi Motta came for a short visit (our kiddos were too tired!) and it was great to see and talk with them! We miss them!
It was a jam-packed super-deeeeee-duper fun day!!!!!
