Disneyland

On our first full day in California we went to Disneyland. Laneah had been dying to go. She would make me go to the Disneyland website every day for months and watch the video over and over again. We got there and saw Pluto, Mickey and Goofy right away. I bought Laneah a little autograph book to have all of the characters sign and she loved taking the book and pen up the the characters.

 Then we went through Sleeping Beauty's castle and met Snow White. She was super cute and talked just like Snow White did in the movie. The characters aren't allowed to hold babies, which is why Brooklyn isn't in any princess pictures.

 After meeting Snow White, we headed to Fantasy Land for some fun rides. Brooklyn rode the Carousel for the first time and LOVED it. She was so sweet. She would smile and wave, it was adorable. She ended up riding it three times. 
 
Laneah's favorite ride was the teacups. She would giggle so hard she would grab her stomach and bend over. It was hilarious. It was the perfect time of year to go. It wasn't very crowded and the weather was great. We were able to ride the teacups three times in a row and didn't even have to get off. 
 


Then came lunch time and the first meltdown. While my parent's got food, the rest of us went to the Finding Nemo ride, which you would think would be a kid's ride, but was really scary. 

Brooklyn was my little trooper. I am not sure why, but she won't sleep anywhere but her crib. She stays awake until she is completely exhausted and just passes out and then she will only sleep for about 15 minutes. But she wakes up as happy as a clam. Here she finally fell asleep with her Minnie doll.
While we were eating lunch, Laneah got of her chair and peed her pants. Luckily we were outside and she didn't have her shoes on. Not so lucky, I didn't bring any extra panties or clothes because she doesn't have accidents anymore. So we wrapped her in a blanket, went the nearest store and paid a hefty $60 for a new outfit. That is why she is wearing different clothes in the following pictures. We were in Toon Town so she got a Minnie outfit. She got to see Minnie there and go to Minnie's house, which she loved. But another meltdown ensued when we had to leave Minnie.Luckily she got distracted by some fun little cars.

 
The longest we had to wait in line was to see the Princesses, it took about 30 minutes. They have 2-3 princesses there at a time, but don't tell you which princesses are there so you don't know until you go back. They ended up having Snow White, Belle and Ariel. Laneah was excited to see Belle, who is her current favorite princess because of the movie.

 And she was excited to see Ariel too. She just loves her fake smile.

 After the Princesses we rode Its a Small World and it was amazing. They completely revamped it for Christmas, and instead of playing the small world song, it was a fun Christmas melody. Laneah was in complete awe the whole time. It was one of my favorite parts of the day. (The outside of Its A Small World)
 
We rode a bunch of other rides, but all too quickly it was time for fireworks. Both of the girls loved the fireworks. After the fireworks my dad and I ran over to the Indiana Jone's ride. I wanted to ride just one adult ride and it was only a 10 minute wait. It was awesome. 


They had the whole park decked out for Christmas. It really was a perfect time of year to go. We posed in front of the Christmas tree before we left. 

Laneah did not want to leave, but then again, I don't think any of us did. We all loved Disneyland, it really was magical.
