We surprised the kids (Literally!!! Which was no small feat. Try clandestinely packing for three children, two of which are girls who are VERY.AWARE of their clothing!) by keeping our vacation plans a secret all the way to the airport gate!!
Even then, the flight was to Dallas, so we could have carried things a little bit farther--if Matt and I hadn't been about to burst! Where were we headed you might ask?
D I S N E Y L A N D!!!
We may have left at the crack of dawn, but the best part about traveling to the West Coast is we arrived around 11:30, picked up our rental car, made a Target run, checked into the hotel and were in the park by 2:30!!! It doesn't get much better than that!!
Our very first ride--Space Mountain!! Disneyland's version allows you to sit side by side instead of front to back which enabled Frances to ride with one of us. So this was her first Space Mountain experience. The perfect start to our trip!
Another happy start to our Disneyland adventure--dinner at Café Orleans. I PROMISE you, the pomme frites, monte cristo and coffee at this restaurant are each worth a trip to Disneyland!! Trust me!!
We all fell in love with Mr. Toad!!
Day 2, we headed to California Adventure. Matt and I had been to Disneyland one time before, but California Adventure was a new park for all 5 of us and it did not disappoint!!
Especially Carsland! If you have a little boy, it's.a.must!!!
As sunset, all the neon lights in Radiator Springs light up one by one to the tune of Life Could Be A Dream just like on the movie! Talk about magical!
Where else can you leave Radiator Springs and find yourself in frozen Arendelle? California Adventure, that's where!!! I mean, Olaf, come on!!! It's hard to beat a meet and greet with Olaf!
Up next, Days 3 & 4!
