Disneyland Trip Day 2

Well it has been a couple of weeks since our wonderful trip and I'm feeling so terrible for not getting these pictures up. Going to Disneyland during the Christmas season is just magical. Besides the crowds, I love everything about it. Mainstreet is just amazing and feels so festive. The kids were so excited to finally arrive at the park.

The first stop was Fantasy land of course...I believe Peter Pan was our first ride. It's a small world was a hit, the kids loved it. Brody kept saying over and over to me, "Mommy, this is so happy, I have never been in this before."

Here are a few photos from waiting in line for It's a small world. We went at the right time and only had to wait about 15 minutes, later on that morning the line was A LOT longer. The park was pretty crowded this day...shoulder to shoulder walking through this park can prove to be a challenge with a group of 14.

Landry was such a trooper, he was in good spirits most of the time, despite not feeling very well and not taking any naps the whole time we were on vacation.

We were really excited to check out the new Pixie Hollow exhibit which is new to the park, but honestly it was not worth waiting an hour in line for. We thought we would see a lot of fairies and that there would be more of a pixie hollow experience, but it was not so. Tinkbell was pretty funny with Landry, he couldn't stop staring at her, and said something to him about his pacifier, like oh wow what is that little thing you have there. He just smiled at her, through that darn binkie of course. (don't worry he doesn't usually walk around with those things)

I think it is so cool that Disney decorates all the lamp post around the park...they are all themed for that land and of course have Christmas decorations on them. We went on Pirates and that was a crazy experience. Cambree hid her face the whole time, Kelci hid her face about half way through the ride. My niece Lucy was going a little crazy and was a little frightened by the drops. But we survived, if the line wasn't so long maybe we would have redone that ride without all ones who were afraid.

The parade was a great, the kids had a fun time seeing all there favorite characters. They were such troopers, they were hungry for dinner which was still several hours away, but they managed to hang in there. I love my moms face in this picture, she was such a kid at the park. I'm so glad we were all able to take this trip together.
