Disneyland Vacation Day 4........Disneyland

Our last day of vacation was on Tuesday February 11th.  We were all so excited to wake up to another beautiful day!! We could not wait to see Star Wars Land without rain and we were hopeful to get to experience the second half of the new ride.  It was nice not having the pressure to get tickets since they had given us passes on Sunday to use.  We all wore our matching shirts and set out for an amazing day in the happiest place on Earth! 
Since there was not a huge rush to be the first people in the park that day to get tickets Nana and Papa had a nice relaxing morning at the hotel.  The rest of us used our early morning and did every ride we could in Fantasy Land.
The kids said Gaga was so fun on the tea cup ride.  He asked them if they wanted fast and spiny so they said yes and Gaga didn't disappoint! They had a blast!
Titi and I had a much calmer tea pot ride which was nice!

Once Nana and Papa got to the park we headed over  to Star Wars.  We LOVED it.  We all got to shop, eat fun weird treats and check everything out.
We then got to go on the ride and we walked right on.

It was AMAZING!!!!! For sure the BEST ride I have ever been on.  I think the whole gang agreed!!! It had it all. It was fast like a roller coaster but it slowed down to look at stuff.  There where even drops.  It felt so real.  What was super cool is you are on a pod that fits 8 people and we were a party of 8 so it was perfect.  It was such a neat experience and I was so happy to be sharing it with my favorite people in the world! We all were smiling ear to ear and could not stop talking about how cool it was.  I wish you could ride it more than once a day but for now once is the limit.

After the ride we headed over to the Droid Depot.  We really had not done much research about the stores but I guess you reserve a spot and you can make your very own Droid.  Kind of like the build a bear store.  When we were asking the lady about it she informed us that a spot had opened up and if we wanted it we could take it.  That was such good luck because I guess spots are super hard to come by.  Carter was over the moon excited so for his special treat he got to make his very own Droid. 


To help cut down on the crowds the builder could only have 2 guest.  So I opted to stay on the side lines and take pictures.  It worked out.  I still could see everything and felt included.

Carter was one happy camper!!!!
After you build your Droid you then can play with it out on a landing pad with other Droids.
I think dad was just as excited as Carter!

It was a really fun experience.
We then made our way over to It's a Small World.  Then to Tomorrow Land.  We had lunch and then we went on Space Mountain which was a blast!  
After Space Mountain the gang wanted to go on the Matterhorn.  Nana, Titi and I decided we wanted to go relax on Main Street and have a treat so that is what we did.  Once they were done with the ride they came over and some ice cream too....
We then took some great group pictures by the castle.  

We then got on the train and road around the entire Disneyland which was lots of fun to see it all.  We then made our way over to Winnie the Pooh and Splash Mountain.  Gaga got soaked since we made him ride in the front.  
As a thank you to Nana and Papa for taking us all on this wonderful vacation we made them a reservation at Blue Bayou for dinner.  It's always been on their bucket list to eat there so we were so excited to surprise them with a date for just the two of them.  They didn't take any pictures:( (They said all their pictures are in their heads) They loved it and said it was so yummy!  The rest of us continued to ride rides and we had dinner at a Mexican restaurant by the Big Thunder Railroad which was yummy too.
Once nana and papa were done we found them and headed out of the park.  It is always so hard to say good bye to Disneyland.  

We had such an amazing time and could not Thank Nana and Papa enough.  We have a wonderful family and are so grateful to get to make such fun and special memories together.

Aubrey's special prize was a beautiful sterling sliver diamond mickey ring that she loves!
It was hard to see in most of the pictures but dad did a super rad mickey on the side of Carter's head for the vacation.
