Casey and I had decided that we wanted to take Adelyn to Disneyland in January. We figured it was cheaper to drive since there would be 5 of us going. We had invited my mom and little sister to go with us, that way we could go on big rides and there was someone to watch Adelyn. And since we had our new van it had plenty of room and it is comfortable too. From our house it is 5.5 hours to my parents house, then we had another 14.5 hours to get to Disneyland, we decided to rent a hotel right next door that way we wouldn't have to pay for parking and we were in walking distance to Disneyland. We had a blast we got to go for 3 days because since Casey is in the military they have a military discount where you can have a 3 day park hopper for $125.00 which is killer because normally its like 300 for a 3 day hopper.
We went early when the park opened everyday, and we never stayed til it closed, I had planned most of the things we wanted to see so that we knew when the times were and so we didn't miss them. Which made it nice we got to see the Main street Parade, which Adelyn LOVED because of the music and the princesses that were in the parade.
We didn't have to wait in line very much at all, when we were planning this we wanted to go in the off season when the lines wouldn't be long and it wouldn't be hot. The longest we ever stood in line was 30 mins and that was for the toy story ride (which is one of our favorites) it got chilly at night and we wore jackets but during the day it was nice and I just wore long sleeves and I felt perfect. Because of the short lines we got to ride every ride we wanted to and some of them, we rode 3 and 4 times (or the carousel Adelyn rode 20 times between all of us, that was the ride that when people went on a ride she wasn't tall enough for someone took her on that ride. There was a carousel in both parks which made it nice.)
We really did have a blast, it was one of the best vacations I have ever been on. Casey and I would like to go every two years I don't know if we will be able to do that but we'd like to try.
We were trying on mouse ears, she really didn't want any so she decided to get a princess hat, it is Rapunzel's hat that has some hair down the back of it and she wears it all the time.
We had to get her a picture with Ariel she asked for it for forever before we even went. And when she talks about Disneyland she says Ariel Disneyland. lol
Cinderella was so sweet and was reall good with her, Addi gave her a big hug. Cinderella and Ariel were standing in the same spot and there was no line to see them so we lucked out.
This was probably Adelyn's favorite ride, she got to ride it 3 times and if you ask her what her favorite ride was she says dumbo fly. The three we rode the most were dumbo, tea cups, and carousel.
Adelyn LOVES Castles, anytime we see a castle she wants to go inside, she calls the Disneyland Castle "hers" and she keeps asking to go back to her castle.
They had just opened the new Carsland in June so it was still pretty new, so there were lines there but still not horrible, the one ride we really liked was Radiator Springs racers, and we got to the park when it first opened so that we could get a fast pass to ride it. If we wouldn't have gotten fast passes the line was like 2 hrs long. Crazy!
A good picture of me and Casey waiting to ride Tower of Terror
This is the Toy Story ride that we love, there is no fast pass for it and it is always a pretty long line but totally worth it. It's a 3D game and it is so much fun.
Buzz was so nice, he was headed to go back to where they stay when they aren't in the park, and he stopped and let us take a picture Adelyn was so excited, she was in awe at how big he was.
Merida, we waited in line to see Merida the three little bears were there too and I was even impressed that Merida did have an accent. She was very friendly and let us take several pictures.
We didn't take a picture of all of us until the very last night and it's not the best we were just having so much fun that we forgot to take a picture of our whole group.
While we were at Disneyland, we also found out that we were expecting another baby. We then came home and found out a little while later that it would be another little girl. We are excited to welcome another little lady into our family.
