Disneyland smells like fresh flowers, churros, carnation ice cream, taffy, the ocean, and heaven mixed together. Magic Kingdom didn't smell bad or anything, it just didn't smell like Disneyland. It's noteworthy.
I have very few pictures from inside the park. I know there are several more on my parent's camera, and I'll post them soon.
Speaking of my parents...
Grandparents. Don't do Disney without 'em. I think one of the reasons our trip was so wonderful, was that my kids had my parents all to themselves! There were enough adults around that one kid ould ride dumbo, another Splash Mountain, and Corbin could do this whenever he wanted.
As you can see, he was less-than-interested in meeting the princesses. He looks like a giant in this picture! He really isn't that big! (ok, his head is, but not the rest of him)We started the day at Storytime with Belle. The girls got to have front row one on one interaction with Belle as she told her story and called children up to act it out with her. The pictures from this are on my parent's camera. Reese was so excited to meet Belle.
On to the Princess meet n greet. I was a little nervous when a different Belle (storytime belle was in her peasant clothes) was there, but Reese just said, "you changed your outfit and now we match!"
Quincy's face says it all.
Then we hit the rides.
The girls loved everything!
I was a little nervous about taking Reese on Splash Mountain, because I knew she wouldn't forgive me if she didn't like it. After watching a few people take the final plunge, Reese wasn't so sure about getting on the ride. Quincy was MORE than willing, but unfortunately, she was too short. Well, this pleased Reese to no end and she happily got in line only because Q was too little. Whatever works! Quincy went for a treat with Grandma and Grandpa while we took Pieces on her first "big kid" ride. She was a little mad about how "soakin' wet" her dress got, but went on it a second time with us the next day. Go Reese!Dumbo, Peter Pan, It's a Small World, Cinderella's Carousel, Aladdin's Magic Carpets, Jungle Cruise, Pirate's of the Carribbean....they did it all!
Good Night, Day 2! More Disney tomorrow.

so super awesome. promise me that you will not go to DisneyLAND without me. remember the last time we were there together and went running in slow motion, open arms towards each other between california adventure and disneyland. one of my ALL TIME favorite Disney memories.
my second favorite is one i cannot remember but Paul tells the story well..something about me "breaking up" with him on that roller coaster california scream...that ride is insane.
J still hasn't forgiven us for taking her on tower of terror...whatever, take it to Oprah, we took you to disneyland when we would have rather gone alone!!
i miss you...and i miss those kids!
good mail on it's way soon!
SOOOOO fun! I'm sure they are still talking about and wearing their dresses!!!! I'm taking the advice. Jared and I are going to pay for a set of grandparents on ALL of our trips!!!
Wow. Splash Mountain was one of my least favorite rides and I'm 28. What does that say about me???
I can't wait to take Evie to meet the princesses. She's going to die.
I can't even remember believing in princesses/characters, but you're right. Quincy's face DOES say it all. ;)
