Disneyland 2016

Stephen surprised our family on Christmas with a trip to Disneyland for February. I can't say it enough...WE LOVE DISNEYLAND! Our flight left super early in the morning allowing us to get to our hotel, have some breakfast, and head to the park. It worked out perfectly. Little miss Eden slept most of the flight and did really well. She was a trooper throughout our stay. I was pretty worried that she would have a hard time sleeping when we were at the park, but she did great. February was a wonderful time to go! We were there mid week so during that time it wasn't too busy at all. The longest line we waited in was about 30 minutes for Storybook Village, and Toy Story Mania.

DAY ONE - DISNEYLAND:

Fist ride, Matterhorn!

 One of the many many reasons why I love Disneyland...the scenery!

 One of my favorite memories of the trip...during Pirates of the Caribbean sleepy Eden held on tight to Kingston's fingers and rested her head on his shoulder and nearly fell asleep.

 DAY TWO - CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE:

Waiting for the big kids to get off Screamin'

Taelee & Daddy's favorite ride.

 Zip lining it, Kingston's First time.

Disney does NOT disappoint on their parades! But I think it puts our sleepy kids in a trance.

Wonderful World of COLOR

 DAY THREE - PARK HOPPER DAY:

 The last time we were at Disneyland I couldn't ride on Splash Mountain because little Eden was brewing in my tummy (where we announced her gender). I took full advantage of a baby free belly this time around. Love Splash Mountain!

Kingston chose to use his money to make his own light saber.

Fascinated by the spinning water ball in Tomorrow Land. 

 First Dole Whip was a success.

60 and Magical.

 'Till Next time...

Disneyland 2014

Disneyland will always be my favorite! I am so happy I get to share the magical memories I grew up with with my own growing family. I go through withdrawals after a year, and need to go back! We had gone through so much to get pregnant, what a better place to celebrate?! I wasn't able to ride some of my favorite rides, but it's all about the magic and I didn't feel like I missed out too much. I was just happy to be there! We created some wonderful magical memories!

Welcome to the Happiest Place on Earth!

 Dancing down Main Street...MAGICAL

I was so excited for our gender reveal! I went back and forth whether I was going to go on the ride or not, but I just didn't feel good about it. Stephen did a great job though! He lost one of the balloons before the big splash, but luckily he came prepared with an extra!

IT'S A GIRL!

Taelee's reaction was priceless! She was so thrilled! From the beginning of my pregnancy Kingston called the baby a girl. I told him that there was a possibility it could be a boy and if it was he could play with his toys with him. Ever since that he said it was a boy. When we asked him if he knew what the pink balloon meant, we were having a girl! He said, "No we're not!" It took a bit for it to settle in, but now he is so excited to have a baby sister!

 

Disney parades are the best!

 

 

 

Screaming was Taelee's very favorite ride!

Kingston was NOT a fan of Bugs Life 3D show. He was not amused when Hopper got angry and giant spiders came down from the ceiling! I took the poor boy out early screaming!

Disneyland is pretty exhausting!

 

 Pixie Hollow will always be one of our favorites! Taelee loved having a conversation with Tinkerbell and Rosetta, and they were very impressed that she even had her own pixie dust!

 Pretty sad, but we have never visited Pirate's Island since they changed it from Tom Sawyers Island... Kingston was in heaven exploring all the caves!

 Kingston LOVED the Pixar parade! His reaction to the floats was priceless!

 

What a better way to end our magical trip, watching the fireworks from the Mad Hatter Teacup?! I think we started a new tradition!

Another tradition...setting our balloons free for Buzz and Tinkerbell!

THE END!
