As most of you know, we had quite an adventure actually getting to Disneyland. So once we finally arrived, before doing anything else, we had to stop to EAT. We had packed snacks for the kids while we travelled; however, Jason and I were surviving (barely) on the teeny bag of pretzels from the airplane and had to stop for sustenance!
When people ask London what her favourite ride in Disneyland was - she always say 'The Horses' - which means the carousel. I think it's just the first thing that comes to mind because she LOVED every ride that she went on. Having said that - we did ride the carousel a lot!
Poor London had to pee about half way through the Small World ride (which is 12 minutes long) She was begging to be let off of the ride and we felt so terrible that we couldn't get her off. In the end, she did make it to the bathroom without having an accident - but it seems like it may have been fairly traumatic for London since every time we walked by or near the ride, she emphatically told us that she DID NOT want to go on the boats!
Enjoying the character breakfast at our hotel!
We thought that Davis may not do too well around the characters since he's not too overly friendly with strangers..... (yes, that's an understatement) However, he LOVED everyone (he let Handy Manny pick him up) and especially loved playing here with Dale's nose!
Dale was very patient - Davis didn't want to let go!
Okay, so I know that Dumbo is a kids' ride but it went a little higher and faster than I expected. The kids loved it though - they must get their adventurous spirit from Jason!
Both of the kids were so happy to meet the princesses. The princesses were amazing in talking to the kids and drawing them out and helping them to not be shy. Okay, helping London to not be shy - Davis was all over the princesses (I was terrified that he was going to grab a necklace or earring.... or -yikes- a wig) but he was a gentelman..... thank goodness!
As soon as we left the princesses, we let London choose a princess dress to buy. I knew before going to Disneyland that I wanted to buy her one of these dresses. She really loves dressing up right now and I knew that would be something that she would really enjoy. She chose Cinderella's dress (and is kneeeling for her picture because she's copying what the princesses were doing when we met them).
They're not in this picture, but we found the LAST pair of Cinderella slippers (they were no where to be had) AND in London's size, before we left. WHOO HOO!
Driving Goofy's car
These are from our day at Sea World
Even though we've been to the Vancouver Aquarium numerous times, the Sea World shows were still pretty amazing to watch. (The dolphin show especially)
London was ALL OVER the numerous maps we had from the different parks. She was our official (self-appointed) navigator and took her role VERY seriously :)
I don't know what happened, but these pictures are a little out of order. So here is Sleeping Beauty!
Our day in California Adventure Park
This is in the Bug's Life area. I think I was waiting with Davis (who was sleeping) while Jason and London went on a ride. The picture doesn't really capture it too well, but it was really cool how the plants, trees, and surroundings made you feel like you had a bug's perspective!
Back in Tomorrow Land
Waiting to meet Tinkerbell
This is Terrence - Tinkerbell's best friend
The fairy in purple is Vidia - the fastest flying fairy. It was really neat how they spent time talking to London (instead of just quickly taking her picture and moving on) She had a lot of fun meeting the fairies!
And that's it. We had SO MUCH FUN and can't wait to go again!
Looks like a magical family trip!!!
