Day 5 of Vacation

Wednesday June 8th DISNEYLAND! 

The best feeling ever is waking up and knowing you get to go to Disneyland that day! We all woke up early very excited.  We got ready had a yummy hot breakfast and headed to the park.  We made it there first thing in the morning.  The trick of Disneyland is being there right when they open and to run to all your favorite rides and get fast passes for all the big rides.  The weather was perfect that day and we were all so excited.  

 The kids were up for every ride.  Our first ride was the Matterhorn.  The kids loved it.  Carter was tall enough for everything in Disneyland this trip.  Aubrey was trying to show her Independence again and wanted to ride alone.  We found out quickly to ride alone in Disneyland you have to be 7 so even though Crater was tall enough he still needed a grown up with him.  I liked still feeling needed haha.

 We ran around and hit most all the rides in Fantasyland since that land always gets crowded in the afternoon.

 Then we went over to the new Star Wars temporary area while they build the new land.  It was really cool to explore.  We did that while we waited for our fast passes to be ready for Space Mountain.

It had been like 10 years since I went on that ride.  I was a little scared that Carter would fly out since he is as light as a feather but we he did good.  This picture is horrible and we don't even look like us well Spencer does but the other three of us look really funny. 

 We made it over to my favorite area Adventure Land and New Orleans.  Jungle Cruise is always our favorite.

and pirates and the haunted mansion and pooh and and and.......everything!

It was time for lunch and I really wanted to try the famous Disneyland Monte Cristo at Cafe Orleans.

 It did not disappoint! It was the best sandwich I have ever had!

 After our incredible lunch we met a few characters.

 We then decided it was time for a swim break and nap so we went back to the hotel for a couple hours. 

 Then we got ready and headed back in. We got lots of treats that afternoon.  We rode a few more rides. We didn't do the parades this day since we thought we would save them for our last day.  It baffles me that people sit and save their spots for the parade 3-4 hours before the parade starts! Talk about a waste of your Disneyland time. 

 We did Splash Mountain that night.

the kids sure love all the shops!

It was getting pretty crowded and we were all tired so we decided to head back to the hotel for a pizza night in the room.  This was the fence that we would climb over to get to our room lol! We could walk around but we decided this was faster.

It was fun just relaxing in our room eating pizza.  From our room you could see the fireworks so we went out on our porch that night and enjoyed the show.
