The Happiest Place on Earth

We finally made it to Disneyland with the kids! We hadn't been since before we had Will and we wanted the kids to experience the magic! They did so amazing! They were on cloud 9! Here we are all ready to go!



I love Will's sweet shades!


Right as we walked in, there was Minnie Mouse! The girls couldn't take their eyes off her! It was so cute!








Oh, the excitement!












I love how they decorate the park during October. It was so cute! Some of the rides were even different and improved to have a better Halloween experience!








The kids loved fantasyland!





They were begging us to go on the train that goes around the park. Gabby just couldn't wait!









Gabby was a little nervous in the submarine Finding Nemo ride but it was pretty cute!







Benj and I did a few baby passes. You can go on a ride and then the other parent can go in the fast pass line. The kids were entertained waiting at Space Mountain.



Will and Gabby LOVED Mark Twain's Boat! I went on it with Gabby while Will and Benj were going on Thunder Mountain Railroad to pass the time and apparently Will wanted to go on the boat even more than the Railroad!










Gabby and Will loved to see all the ducks!




Will thought this big bear next to the rapids was pretty awesome. He had to show his muscles in his pic with it!



The kids did not have enough eyes to see everything on the Little Mermaid ride. They were loving it! Even cute little Lydia was constantly pointing at stuff with little grunts!



The kids really wanted to go on this rocket ship ride but there were no lap riders so the kids had to be buckled on their own. We had Will and Gabby hold hands so they wouldn't be scared. So cute!



Even Lydia rode by herself next to me. She so wanted to just stand and take in the view. Those blasted seat belts!



This was Mickey Mouse's Ferris Wheel. Can you tell thier excited to get on it?


There was even a carousel in California Adventure. I think these were her favorites! She would spout off as many animals as she could decifer!




The first time we went, the kids loved the "Tough to be a Bug" 3D show



So, those were the first 2 days of Disneyland. So fun! We took a day off to go to Sea World and the beach but unfortunately Will and Gabby got sick so we hung out at Benj's brother's and celebrated Lydia's B-Day (will be another post). Total bummer, Lydia got sick the next day and could barely breath because of the croup she had so I took her to the hospital (Also a seperate post) while Benj took the kids to their last day there.


Benj said they would be really excited on the rides and then crash in the stroller and then get exicted on the next ride and crash, etc.


Gabby got pretty scared the second time they went to the 3D Bug show




These kids could be in magazines advertizing these glasses, right?!
They sure liked the tea cups!






We saved Toon Town for the last day because we wanted to make it the apex of the trip! Hindsight is 20/20. I'm so sad Lydia and I missed this part!



Gabby could not contain her excitement seeing Mickey Mouse! She ran up and gave him a HUGE hug and Will couldn not stop laughing.







We are so glad we made it there! It was some amazing family time and feel so blessed in how it all worked out so well!

  1. SO FUN!! I love all of these pictures! Last Sunday, Gabby kept repeating "Minnie Mouse! Minnie Mouse!" It was really cute. We thought at first that that must've been her costume but than I remembered you had went to Disneyland and she would get so excited and yell Minnie Mouse! Hahaha
    Yay for Disneyland!!
