Yes, that is Disneyland I am talking about. My mom/Grandma (to the kiddos) bought us all our tickets and her and my dad paid for our hotel room. Connor and Carly have never been to the Magic Kingdom. My mom wanted to go there to check out the Christmas decorations and they put them out the day after Veteran's Day.
So we all packed into our vehicles and left on that Friday. We went to California Adventure on Saturday (hoping Disneyland would be less crowded Sunday). We walked into the park and imediately found this guy:
Can you see the excitement on his face? He was in love. His favorite character. Lightning McQueen. Mater was there too, but Connor showed no interest in him. We could have stayed there all day but you actually had to wait in line to get a picture taken with the cars.
We did a lot of stuff in California Adventure. Rode some bumper cars, saw the Muppets in 3D, A Bugs Life in 3D, rode a little roller coaster. Saw Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse (which Connor loved).
**Side note: This was all possible to do only because grandparents watched Carly and the stroller. Bless them.**
We actually did a lot of things in California Adventure and Connor and Nick got to bond.
We had a great time in California Adventure.
On Sunday we went over to Disneyland and had a blast. We rode many rides. Although the majority of them were outside rides since Connor rode both Pinocchio and Mr Toads Wild Ride and was scared to death. He LOVED Dumbo and even rode it twice!
Us adults got to ride some of the popular rides like The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. Have I mentioned Connor's love for Snow White? It's the only princess he knows. So we went on the prowl, searching high and low. We found this princess place that you can stand in line to meet a secret few princesses and take pictures with them. We stood in line for about 30 minutes waiting to get in and once we did, we found Belle, Tiana, and Ariel. No Snow White :o(. We did however find her telling a story...
But alas, still no chance to take a picture with her.
We found Goofy:
And Pluto:
And while we were walking around we spotted her. Yes, that's right, Snow White taking pictures. Oh and the line was really short!
Here is Connor telling her a story (buying time with her) and she is listening so patiently.
Then we all (Me, Connor and Carly) took a picture with her. While we were posing, the evil Step mother came over and this is the best pic we got of all three of them.
Yay!!!!! We found her! ;o)
Grandma, Connor and I all rode It's a Small World and Connor had a blast. Papa, Justin, Connor and I all rode the train around the park to get from here to there. Desiree and Nick went off on their own for most of the Disneyland day, as they rode some of the bigger rides that Connor can't/won't go on. We watched parades in both parks. Grandma got everyone front row seats for each one.
We did many more things, and took many more pictures. But, alas, there is so much to type about and I am an awfully slow typer. To sum up our trip though, we had a great time and Connor still talks about things that we did. We have some great memories and pictures from the kids first trip to Disneyland.
Thank you Grandma and Papa for everything.
**Connorisms**
~So, Justin gave Connor his first cup of Sparkling Cider tonight and Connor loved it. He kept saying it was "making his lips sparkle."
