Thursday morning was our Magic Morning in Disneyland. That means we got to go into the park 1 hour before it opened which was 7am!!! It is early but so worth it! All the rides like Dumbo, tea cups, Storybook boat, autopia and Peter pan which are usually like 45-60 minute was either no wait or only5 minutes. It was fabulous and we had a blast running around and going on all the rides.
We saw the new Mickey Mouse show that day it was wonderful!
After our early morning we headed back to the hotel for a swim, lunch and a nap. Aubrey and I woke up from our naps before the boys so we decided to walk over to the park to check in for our dinner reservations and to find Snow White. I loved how she walked around the park holding her dress like a princess.
We were very excited about our dinner Thursday night at Blue Bayou the restaurant in the Pirates of the Caribbean. We made all our reservations prior to our trip. We wanted to sit by the water but they said that you can't make reservations for that. If you wanted you could be put on a list after you check in for reservations. It was going to be an extra hour so we decided not to wait for that. When the hostess was seating us we walked by an open table by the water and asked for it she went and checked and said that it was already taken. She felt really bad and I guess really liked our family (we think it was our mini Snow White) she would come by and check on us while we were eating it was very nice. Our table ended up being in a great location. Our meal was amazing and we all loved the ambiance. By far one of my favorite memories of the trip! The night times during our trip would get pretty crowded due to grad night week so we would mostly go on kid rides that had smaller wait times. We did decide that it would be neat to ride the Pirates of the Caribbean after dinner to see where we had just eaten. We knew it was going to be a long wait but we thought it was worth it. Once we finished our meal that nice hostess came and found us and said, "I was looking for you guys do you want to go on an adventure?" well of course I said "yes." We followed her and she took us through some back way through the restaurant and through some doors and then we were at the ride. She told the ride person to put us right on the ride. We were shocked! It was such a treat not to have to wait in the long line. We felt very special! It felt like we were royalty it was cool. The kids got a kick out of it!
After the ride we found this cute area for a mini photo session.
As you can see I can't get enough of this girl!
Aubrey's friend Owen from preschool was in Disneyland the same week as us. We never accidentally ran into each other but after texting with his mom we arranged to meet up with them by the train. It was fun seeing familiar faces and visiting for a quick minute.
With the kids being so young and our long days of partying on day 4 in the park we still had not stayed all the way until the fireworks. We decided that we would stay on Friday for our last night. Thursday night Carter and I stayed up later then the other 2 and we could hear the big bangs from the fireworks in our room. We put on our sandals and walked out and watched them from the parking lot. It was such a sweet moment being with my little guy sharing the fireworks together.
