Disneyland!

Sorry, I know you were expecting some awesome giveaways to enter this morning. I needed to tie a few things up-so it will be up tomorrow-promise! For now, I’m going to force you to look at show you my vacation photos. muwahaha! ha.
 Well, folks…in just about 5 days….we…..
 …had about as much fun and excitement as we could take! 
 We stayed at the Grand Californian-a splurge even on sale-but worth it! 
 It was an amazing (and swanky) hotel! I loved how close it was to both parks-easy napping for the kiddos. (uh, and me too)
 We saw some of Sadie’s favorite princesses! The Little Mermaid (her FULL title, thankyaverymuch…Sadie won’t call her Ariel.. hehe)
 Belle of course- Sadie loved that they matched dresses. 
 She adores Jasmine, can you tell?
 We beat the 108 degree heat (yikes it was hot) by enjoying all three pools the hotel had. AND a water slide. Sah weet!
 Charlotte enjoyed lounging by the pool in the shade with mommy. Lookit those legs. love them!
 The girls had a movie night on one of the nights so Rory and I could go back in the park and relive the glory days of kid-free Disneyland. 
It was short lived as we were both too tired from kid-full Disneyland.
 We toted around this cutie-who did have a good time, I think. She recently found her hands and munched on them most of the time. She had a good sized ring of slobber around her collar most days by mid morning.
 we waited in line to see…
 Fairies! 
This one is Rosetta? We aren’t too familiar with the fairies, having only seen one of the movies. She was so sweet to Sadie. Gotta love those characters-they make every child feel so special. 
 Apparently this purple fairy is kind of a trouble maker? She was hilarious.
 Sadie cozied right up to her heroine, Tinkerbell. Later on we purchased a Tink doll for her. She must be so confused as to what size Tinkerbell really is?
 Woody is another favorite-we always make a visit to Downtown Disney’s Lego store for a new (usually Star Wars) Legoman key chain for Rory. 
 Rory and Sadie enjoyed the Dumbo ride-she was all smiles. Rory was happy to go on something faster than the stroller.
Cute sisters on the teacups….. Sadie can go from the highest highs…
 to the lowest lows in the blink of an eye. 
 Nothing a churro can’t fix though! (works for Daddy too 😉
 We always love the Pixar parade. Nemo came right up to Sadie-she LOVES him so loved that. No pic though 🙁
 We watched the new World of Color show-it was AMAzing. Loved every second!
 Sadie loved Minnie and Mickey’s houses in Toontown. I mean LOVED. She would’ve moved in if we’d let her.
 She was very concerned that Cinderella was missing her bucket. no kidding. lol!
 She survived meeting Minnie. AGAIN. She’s not a fan of the characters that have their heads covered. I can’t say I blame her!
 We rode some carousels…
 and Rory and Janae got soaked. 
We did a million other things but I won’t bore you to death with them. Suffice it to say-even with two kids (MUCH harder than just one), getting colds throughout the trip, and a BAD heat wave-we had a blast and wish we could have stayed longer. There’s always next year….

  1. She has the most expressive little face, doesn’t she? Your trip has made me tired–you guys really packed it in!

  2. So exciting! I’m living vicariously through you. Maybe next year a volcano won’t prevent our Disney trip. Sadie’s dress looked awesome in all the pics – I bet she felt like a star. And yes, that purple fairy is a big trouble maker – she caused Tink to destroy all the preparations for spring. Gasp!

  3. Awwww! So exciting! Sigh, one day we will go. So glad Janae went with, bet that made the trip a little easier.

  4. Looks like Sadie had a blast!! I feel like we are living parallel lives…my oldest Charley is 2 1/2 and my youngest Andie is 16 weeks. We are taking the girls to disney in Feb for the first time! I can’t wait! I wasn’t sure how much Charley would get it, but I think she will have a blast too!!

  5. Great pictures Jess, looks like you had a great time.

  6. So fun!! I can’t wait to take my kids to Disneyland…someday…

  8. Fun! I’m very intrigued by the World of Color.

  16. It looks like an absolutely great time!

  17. Love all those pics of Sadie with the characters. I’ve been resisting the idea of going to Disneyland (it seems so insane!), but I know my daughter would just be over the moon. It’s always encouraging to hear from parents who survived (and enjoyed!) it! Maybe next year…

  18. How fun! We love Disneyland. I got the hubby to get us 2 season passes this year (as so cal residents, we can get cheaper ones), it is high time we make the hour long drive again! Love Sadie’s pics with her Belle dress!
