DISNEYLAND!!!!!!


We're here!!! I was so excited I could pee my pants. We were all so excited to be here. I hadn't been since I was 4 and so this was practically a first for all of us.
They really had the place decked out for Christmas. It must have taken forever to decorate that place the way they did. In fact when it got darker, they would dim the lights and play a song on the speakers, then fake snow started falling from the sky! It was so magical I almost cried.

We started out with sleeping Beauty's castle, which ended up being really dark and scary and Brystal was begging us to get her out of there.

After coming out of the castle, we saw her... the moment we all had been waiting for. Brystal's favorite princess, Sleeping Beauty herself. When seeing her in person, Brystal was suddenly a little nervous about meeting her, but as soon as we walked away from her she said "lets go see someone else!!"

I could barely hang onto Boston during the Carousal ride. Actually that describes the whole day with Boston.

Next was the classic Dumbo ride. This was the first real ride we went on. I was pleasantly surprised that both kids loved it!

see.

Then we waited in line at Pixie Hollow for what we thought was going to be a crazy adventure, for about an hour. Turns out you just walk through some big grass and flowers to take your picture with Tinkerbelle. Anyways, Brystal was excited to see her. Here she can see her through the thicket of grass.

Boston kept us busy by trying to either run away, or climb on everything he could reach.

Before we met Tinkerbelle, we ran into her friend Fawn. She was really pretty, (that's what I was thinking anyways.) She had a little thing for Boston.

Once again, Brystal got a little nervous to get close.

Finally after waiting forever, we got to Tinkerbelle's house. She was so nice and polite. I commented on how cute her shoes were, then we tried to get Brystal to come get her picture taken with her. At this point I was starting to think that I was going home with a bunch of pictures of ME and all the Disney Characters.


Then it was the Christmas Parade! We saw all of our favorite people.














Cinderella....














Snow White.....














Belle and the Beast....














And Woody!

Brystal watching from a distance.

The finding Nemo submarine.


Our favorite ride was the Buzz Lightyear ride.


In toontown we got to see Mickey and Minnie's house, and all the places they shop and play.

Mickey's laundry room.

And of course, I could not go home without riding the teacup ride. Before the ride started, Brystal sat there really still, I touched her arm and asked her if she was so excited, then without moving she says "Quit touching me." Ok.... I think she was just a bit nervous of what was about to happen. She ended up thinking the ride was fun, but her little comment was funny.


They finished the night off with fireworks and the castle had snow and ice cycles on it to give it that winter Christmas look. That is just a glimpse of how the day went but it was so much fun and so magical. I can't wait to take them back when they get older!

Disneyland looks like so much fun. Don't you LOVE it! I love the last picture of the castle. That's neat that you guys got to see it with all the Christmas decorations.

We love Disneyland too! It looks like you had a fun trip. We went just in November, but I never knew that you could go inside the castle.... Now I have something to get excited about for the next trip!

Hi. You don't know me. I was trolling through the bloggosphere since both my babies are asleep for naptime and I came across your blog. I'm a SoCal mom. My little family of four have season passes to Disney. Every time we went to the park during the Christmas season, I'd get choked up when the snow would start falling, since I'm orginally froma very cold state and it made me home sick but thrilled to see my children experience snow. I loved this post! Your family is adorable. And the music you have on here is the very best! Its' really the only music I listen to other than my husband's jazz!
