Our Disney Trip

I love Disneyland! I miss it so much, I use to be an annual pass holder back when Nick was a toddler. We got to go this summer 3x and had a blast


The Tiki Room.

Home of the famous Dole Whip!


Near the Tiki room is a spot where you can meet Jasmine, There's usually no line, people really don't know its there. The restaurant inside seems to be closed as well. I asked a cast member about and they said its now like a picnic area





and the petting zoo. Its usually very vacant. lots of characters roaming around too.



Like the country bears. No line for hugs ;)







Sophie was the only one brave enough to go get some Disney Love. Evie was scared.

Time to go meet the Pixies!








And my most favorite picture ever!


Oh! the Disney Magic, this is at the side of the castle, instead of going through it, turn to the right where the snow white statues and the wishing well is. Not alot of people know this is a character meeting spot and there is hardly a line.




and this is the center of Disneyland. My sister showed me this, its on the ground as soon as you go through the Sleeping Beauty's castle.

but before going in, there's a time capsule buried right under the star point. you can see it here.


Not very crowded this day we went.

The New Cars Land in California Adventure was AMAZING. Looks just like in the movie





The cozy cone motel snack area.








Our favorite place to eat is at Ariel's Grotto.









Its a Character Dining experience. The Disney Princesses come to each table




Everything was edible. Even the Ariel topper



The Ariel ride is really neat too. This was my first time riding it. I found the best time to ride is during the Phineas and Ferb parade. They close off the area around it and hardly anybody goes into the ride. We got to ride over and over again without getting off.





Something I really loved to see was the display of one of my favorite shows costumes. Once Upon a Time


and the book



We did stand in line for about an hour to meet the newest Disney Princess Merida


They also gave archery lessons


We hopped back and forth to the two parks.

Here we are in toon town waiting to meet Mickey. This is his dressing room




On To see Minnie





She wasn't home so we found her in Main Street.


Meeting Characters is so much fun.



This is the snow white statues next to the castle



Aurora was there to meet us. She kept telling the girls  that the castle was where she lived.





At the 3D bugs life show.




Tink flying before the start of the fireworks.

I think this was our last day visiting.





with Duffy, the Disney Cruise mascot I believe.



Dancing with the fireside girls


Next to the Monster Inc. ride is a big party room where they have many Disney Characters to dance with.





Dancing with Cinderella's step sisters, Anastasia and Drucella


Once again next to the castle we met Snow White and the Evil Queen


Then off to the Princess Faire! another tidbit, we attended the last show and stayed after the show. they closed off the entrance and the Princesses came to chat and meet the kids! Not alot of people know this so there was hardly anybody there and lots of one on one interaction with the princesses










Love this picture of Sophie tugging on Snow Whites cape.





while waiting on the Snow White ride look up! the Queen opens and closes the curtains to peek out.





The famous Mickey head ice creams




Can't wait to go again!!!!
