We didn't plan to go to Disneyland this year but when I was trying to think of what to get Andrew for Father's Day I knew the only thing he would really want is a trip to Disneyland. So I planned a trip to Disney!
Makayla already for the flight! The seats were two to a row so Makayla sat with me.
...Keegan sat with Grandpa...
...and Tanner sat with Daddy.
The kids loved having a bunk bed in the hotel room
And we made it to Disneyland!! Sleeping Beauty's castle at Disneyland always seems tiny in comparison to Cinderella's castle at Disney World that we're so used to.
Makayla and Mommy always do some window shopping while the big kids go on rides...
...like Space Mountain, updated for the season as Ghost Galaxy
All the kids loved driving their own car on the Autopia ride. Watch out for Tanner!
And Keegan...only 8 years until he can really drive!
But really Makayla gave the worst whiplash! :)
Keegan and Grandpa on Autopia
Tarzan's Treehouse
Tanner's turn to window shop
The Voodoo Man from Princess and the Frog (Keegan's favorite princess movie)
Gotta have a picture with Walt
Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin
Tanner & Daddy...
...and Keegan & Grandpa too
The boys picked out their hats! (Tanner never likes hats so this was a big deal for him. Sadly he lost his hat at the airport on the way home so this is all we have left of it!)
It's a Small World
One of the longest waits we had since it has no fast passes
We even got to see the parade of characters at It's a Small World that only comes out every 15 minutes since we waited so loooonnng
Our first night we had dinner at Cafe Orleans and got Andrew's favorite meal, the Monte Cristo. Which is basically a donut with deli meat. :)
Since we went at Halloween time again we got a picture with this cute pumpkin Mickey
The kids really wanted to ride the carousel...it's the same as the one's in the mall. ;)
I do California Screamin' once every year. And that's more than enough for about five years
Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters...an new ride since our last visit
Grandpa and Tanner on Luigi's ride
Andrew and his dad in Cars Land
Ice cream for everyone...
...except Keegan who doesn't like ice cream. He ate his churro while we waited in line for ice cream and finished before us. So he decided to rest with the extra time. He got lots of attention for this. (Not the first time Keegan has fallen asleep on the ground at Disney...good thing they clean the ground every night!)
The kids just before they did a little tractor tippin' on Mater's Junkyard Jamboree
Daddy & Makayla on Mater's ride (Makayla didn't ride with anyone but Mommy much so this was a big deal)
Our artistic pose in front of Mickey's Spinning Wheel at California Adventure. It was all the photographer's idea. :)
And Keegan talked us all into going on Grizzly River Rapids before we came to Disneyland so we knew what to expect
Our little princess prompted us to have a princess dinner at Ariel's Grotto
We got to see Ariel of course
And then Rapunzel
Belle was there too
Even Keegan's favorite princess, Tiana was there
But Makayla's most favorite was Cinderella
Cars Land at night
We got to see a special sneak preview of Moana in the It's Tough to be a Bug 4-D theater
Toy Story Midway Mania...always high on our to do list
Tuck & Roll's Drive Em Buggies...the infamous site where Makayla wet herself in her Cinderella dress...not a happy ending there
Tanner didn't get to pick the car we rode in on Flik's Flyers
Tanner talked me into letting him get Candy Corn colored cotton candy while Makayla was napping and Keegan was on a ride
Trying on a Yoda hat
To see the classic characters we ate dinner at Goofy's Kitchen
Minnie came to see us at least twice... ;)
Chip only came once but his brother Dale came a couple of times at least too
Andrew's favorite was of course, Pluto
Radiator Springs Racers was our favorite ride in Cars Land
And we got this fun shot in front of Tower of Terror...next time we see this ride it'll be decorated with a Guardians of the Galaxy theme
Another one of the rides I only do once....
We finished Fantasy Land in just about an hour by arriving at park opening. We got on this ride (Casey Jr's Circus Train) as well as about 6 others.
Like Dumbo's Flying Elephants
