California 2010 Part 1 Disneyland!!

WARNING: Tons of pictures to follow!

We got up really early (4:00am) Monday morning and drove straight through to California. The kids were really great considering they were in the car for almost 12 hours. Tuesday morning we got up early and headed to Disneyland and here are some pictures to prove it! :)

Day 1

First ride: The Jungle Cruise (while Nate and Gavin waited to use their Fastpasses on the Indiana Jones ride)

Donald Ducks Boat

Waiting for Jedi Training (Liam happy)


Still waiting for Jedi Training (Liam exhausted)

Someone randomly handed us this sign and said it helped to get their kid up on the stage for the Jedi training. Sure enough it worked for Gavin he was the first one picked during the show.

Waiting for instructions

Getting weapon of choice to train with.

Fighting Darth Vader!

Waiting to eat some yummy BBQ

Sleeping Beauty's Castle (Ashlyn was our Sleeping Beauty by this point) :)

Ashlyn worn out


Day 2

Park Entrance

Sleeping Beauty's Castle in the daytime

Riding the Monorail. We got to sit up front with the driver. The kids LOVED it!

The boys favorite character "Chip". By the way, I can't believe that you have to stand in line now just to get a picture with the Disney characters. Crazy!

Waiting for Nate and Gavin to ride a ride. We did a lot of waiting! :)

It's a small world, after a long hot wait in line.

Gotta love Nate in the background!

Ladybug ride

Carousel

Jellyfish drop

Cooling off. We did actually get quite warm the second day. It was lovely!

I was really impressed with all the rides that Gavin went on with Nate. However, he only went on two twice: Big Thunder Mountain railroad and Buzz Lightyear. I think the others were just a bit too much for him. We had a great time even with the crowds of people that had the same idea of spending Spring Break at Disneyland.
