We started our actual trips into the parks with a Magic Morning in California Adventure!! Here’s a tip, use the extra early hour to get fast passes for the really popular rides. 😉 While the guys were getting the passes, the rest of us had an extremely yummy cinnamon roll for breakfast at Starbucks! I absolutely LOVE the atmosphere in California Adventure!
I found MU!
We spent some time in Bug Land where we all shrink to the size of ants. 🙂
Ella’s grumpy face came out a lot while we were at Disney. I think she was insecure being out of her element and then of course she seemed to think she should just be able to sit in her stroller the whole time instead of stand in line.
We went on this spinning ride… I forgot how much I didn’t enjoy it the last time we were here. 😉
This caterpillar train ride is a favorite of the kids. Probably because he belches loud at the end.
We also did this spinning ride, but it wasn’t as bad for some reason.
You might notice the ink on Ella’s hand. I put my phone number on all the kids hands/arms and then covered it with liquid bandaid. In the even that they did get “lost” they’d have my number since none of them know it.
Cars land is just awesome!!
Cute!!
We rode Mater’s Junk Yard ride! Love it!
Walking with my buddy! We had a 1:1 ratio for adults to kids which was nice!
We ate lunch at the Paradise Pier! I love all the food options at Disney!! Stuart and I had a bread bowl with broccoli cheese soup! Nice to not have to eat burgers and fries!
Kids had turkey sandwiches in the shape of a fish! 🙂
Myles kept us on track with the map!
I love this man!
And we got to see Donald which THRILLED Ella’s heart! He was declared to be “so soft!” 😉
Everyone else went on the big ferris wheel while I sat on a bench and watched. After a carrousel ride and the Screamin’ California coaster I need a motion break. 😉
Ella met Jessie, and I just think this photo is so sweet!
More buddy walking time. 🙂
Ella crashed in the afternoon, but got in a really good nap, which always boggles my mind! How do they sleep with so much going on around them?
We spent the last part of our time in the park at the splash pad! The kids absolutely loved it!! Last time when we brought the boys they sat for FOREVER just watching before they would play, not so this time around! 🙂
That night we had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney. It was a first (and probably a last) for us, but fun! 🙂
