Disneyland: Part 2

On Tuesday we went to Disneyland. We got up early once again for the Extra Magic Hour. Extra magic hour started at 8 am on Tuesday, and this is what the gates already looked like at 7:30. On a Tuesday. In October. California Adventure was pretty light on crowds, but Disneyland was crowded.

We are the crazy parents because we spent our extra time waiting for tickets to meet Anna and Elsa. We also met Belle later on in the day. We got in line to meet other princesses but after a half hour and only moving a few feet, we managed to talk Aubrey out of that idea:
 Lol... I love how Cora is a blur in almost every picture. She is at such a busy age!

And if that wasn't enough for Steven, this is how he felt after paying $33 for two plastic princess necklaces. 

Aubrey was such a brave girl. She pretty much went on every ride she could. Some of the bigger ones were a great idea (Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, etc.) Some were not a good idea. I did not know that they added a scary ghost feature to Space Mountain for Halloween. And.. Star Tours was a little too realistic. She came off the ride saying, "I didn't think we would ever come back to Disneyland." 

Cora loved every minute with her grandparents and all the rides she could go on. She especially loved exploring Toontown while we switched off to go on some of the bigger rides.

Rides, grandparents, and princesses. Definitely favorites for both of them.



Riding "It's a Small World."

We were getting in line for Splash Mountain with fast passes and we saw Steven's aunt and cousin getting on the same ride. We went on the ride with them and it was great catching up for a few minutes.

We had such a great day. We left the park around six to eat dinner in Downtown Disney. After that my parents took the girls for a hot tub/sleepover and Steven and I ran back to ride a few more rides for a date night. We were the first there and some of the last to leave. That is a good day at Disneyland.
