Disneyland!!


Sooooo..... Disneyland!!

We have been wanting to go to Disneyland for a while now before we have kids so we decided one day in December that we better go.... in January! So Santa made our wish come true and printed off tickets to Disney!! 

We are kinda spontaneous like that.. lately anyways haha. So that night I booked our flights, hotel, park tickets, shuttles and it was a done deal!

We flew into California on January 13th and started our 5 day adventure in Disneyland and California Adventure on the 14th.
Welcome to Disneyland! The happiest place on earth!
Waiting to get in!
Walking down Main Street USA
The first thing we did was grab fast passes for Indiana Jones and then went in Tarzan's Treehouse
First actual ride we did was Pirates of the Caribbean
And of course we had to do the shooting game!
Small World was a must! It was still decorated for Christmas so that put a cool twist on the ride
The second day we spent in California Adventure

Looked just like down town Radiator Springs!
Cars Land was seriously the coolest!
Tower of Terror-One of my favorites!!
"You-Hoo Big Summer Blowout!"
Tommy had never been on a carousal!
Had to try the turkey leg!
First ride on California Screamin!

2nd Time!
3rd Time!
The water fountain show in California Adventure
Had to get Ears!!
3rd day we went back to Disneyland!
First time on Space Mountain-We weren't ready for that one haha
Alice in Wonderland
A quick selfie so we didn't get trampled!
Had to try the mickey beignets! They were delish!
 They had a light show at night and it was super cool! It was a short parade with a few huge floats that were all lights! And a firework show afterward... and I don't really remember the firework show the first time I went, but I would go back to Disneyland JUST for the firework show!!! It was THE BEST show I have ever seen!! Aww I miss it already!
Mack was a full sized semi!
 And that wrapped up the 3rd night!

4th day we were woken early by a bunch of cheering outside and come to find out they were having a 5k, 10k, and I think a half marathon through Disney! We were totally bummed because that would have been totally fun to do!! Don't get me wrong-I'm talking about the 5 or 10k, NOT the half marathon!! ;) 
4th day was back in Cali Adventures for the last time :(
First up- Cars Land!
California Screamin a couple more times!
HAD to see Olaf!!
They had a ton of frozen plays and such... they were all so cute!
Waiting in line for Tower of Terror for the last time! :'(
All these pictures of a picture are my favorite!! Although not the best quality-they are pretty great!
 Last DAY! Spent in Disneyland-they have park hoppers so you can go from one park to the next within the same day but we didn't get those so we had to choose carefully where we were going to spend our last day! Not really haha we had dinner reservations in Disneyland that night so we had to go there :) Which was ok with me! I was glad we didn't have to decide! That would have been a tough one!

Space Mountain was our first stop! We went and got a fast pass and then got in line since it wasn't that long of a wait! And since the wait can get up to 2 hours!!
Yap weren't ready for that one either!
That's more like it!!
The Matterhorn!
Nope-Don't know the guy posing for our picture! Haha
Walt and Mickey

Sword in the Stone
The Matterhorn Macaroon! It was quite delicious!!
Tommy got Buzz Light Year ears!
Our dinner that night was at the Blue Bayou which was a restaurant in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride! So this is a picture of the restaurant from the ride
And that wrapped up our stay at Disneyland! We went home after dinner because we had to be up ready to catch our shuttle to the airport at 4am!

Oh and I had to take a picture of just the mickey because we tried multiple times to get our picture taken with him and none of them turned out right! (I am picky about pictures!) Let me show you what I mean...... ;)
Here's the first attempt.... ok, only half of mickey is in there!
Second attempt... we are clearly blocking almost all of mickey!!
Third attempt... We are STILL blocking mickey!! You can not see all of him!!
Ok rant done ;)

And the last picture of the trip! Always have to get a picture from the plane but that morning we flew out was absolutely gorgeous! This is right after we took of so we are above the ocean, but you can't tell because of blanket of clouds! And of course the picture Does Not do it justice!
We had sooooo much fun in Disneyland and miss it already!! It really is the happiest place on earth and brings out the little kid in you! It was seriously so magical!! We Loved it!! Can't wait to go back!!
