We were at Legoland Monday and Tuesday and then on Wed we made our way up to Anaheim. We stopped at the beach first for the kids to see the Pacific ocean and walk on the sand a little. They did not even want to get out but for some reason I made then. That was a mistake! We were in regular clothes and of course the kids accidentally got wet, so then it made sense that they shoule go all the way in the water! I remind you that it is about 70 degrees out and overcast....the water was COLD!!!!! Plus then I had to get the kids changed out of the wet clothes and we had sand everywhere. Luckily we had our suitcases, but then we had to change them in the parking lot. Not one of our best planned activities! We then went to Anaheim and checked into the hotel.
Thursday was our first day at Disneyland. We got in 1 hour early so we started left the hotel at 6:40AM and the park opened at 7AM. It was amazing to be ther so early and have no lines! We hot all the rides that usually have long lines. We went to Spacemountain and Sheridan, Tommy, Poppa and I ride it. Sheridan and I were in the front car and it was really cool. It was sooooo dark we could not see where we were going. We had a blast! I am so glad my kids like rollercoasters! We had a day filled with short lines and fun. Mom and dad took Miles and Rita back to the hotel and I stayed with Tommy and Sheridan. I wanted to make the most of the day since it was not that crowded. I was not sure if it would be that same way on Friday or Saturday. The park closed at 8 PM since there was a Senior graduation event going on. But we stayed until 8 and did not stop. We had planned to just do half the park that day, but we got the WHOLE park done. We had a blast. The next 2 days were filled with rides and fun. My boss happened to be there with his family as well and we had net up with them on Thursday and Friday. He had 4 girls and Sheridan had a blast being with the 7 and 10 yr old. We ate a lot, we rode a lot of ride, met lots of Pricesses and other Disney Characters. On Thursday we had lunch at Ariel's Grotto and we got to meet Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, and Aurora (Sleeping Beauty). On Saturday I decided that I was going to focus on Rita becuase on Thurs and Friday she was with my Mom most of the time. So Sheridan, Rita and I went to Toontown first thing and got in 1 hour early. We got to be honorary citizens of Toontown and meet Minnie, Mickey, Goofy,and Chip n Dale. There was a rollercoaster there for kids that had no line and we rode it 6 times in a row. Rita was so cute. She eventually would hole one hand in the air. We then made it over to where the princesses were and got to meet Jasmine and Tatyana (sp? - the Princess from the Princess and the Frog). We attended the coronation of Cinderella and storytime by Snow White. Rita was in heaven! Sheridan was also enjoying it. It was funny to see how she enjoyed the Princesses but also enjoyed the rollercoasters. When she was around older kids she acted like the Pricesses were not a big deal but when she was aroud Rita she ate it up!
We went home on Sunday and we were ready. It was a fun time but we were all exhuasted. The kids were fighting and having meltdowns. I think everyone was ready to have their own space. I am glad we did the trip the only thing that could have made it better was if John was there. But he was there in spirit!
