World of Color
And this is when I started tearing up. All the best hits of Disney songs and visual imagery against the water…and mainly, we were snuggling and in awe and happy together. It was such a fun trip!
California Adventures
Yeah! We flip flopped between California Adventures and Disneyland, so we’ll flip flop here too. We’ve yet to determine the distinction between an attraction and a ride, mostly because they’re all attractively thrilling.
Web slinging
Team Spider-Man!
It’s drive time
The Cars ride was a sneak of a surprise, and such a thrill. We purposely went at night because we got a tip that Radiator Springs and the rock formations of Ornament Valley all lit up was a sight in and of itself…it was! The ride started with a sauntering stroll and ended with a race, we loved it!
Follow that auto
Autopia! Driving on the open road and cruising in the California sun. They even got drivers licenses, for the road that can only be travelled…inside Disneyland:)
Big Thunder Mountain
It was after this ride that Holmes put his foot down on rollercoasters and Meryl decided she couldn’t get enough of them.
No roller coaster, no problem
To Infinity and Beyond! To the depths of the Pirates of the Caribbean treasure troves (so much nostalgic love)! And to see It’s A Small World after all!
Character surprise
Pluto snuck into our photo and surprised us:)
Shadow walking
It takes teamwork to only walk in shadows on a sunny day!
Cool in the pool
We were ever thankful for afternoon breaks at the hotel, we would have never made it all day without them! The kids desperately wanted to go swimming, and so we had to splash…only it wasn’t as warm as one would think:) Afternoon refresher!
First timers
Disneyland! Let’s do this! (Well, we went a week ago.)
Signature move
Mickey! Both kids brought journals for characters to sign their autographs in and, go figure, Mickey was the very first character we met.
Character awe
Not every character could sign their journals, and…who cares, it’s Lightning McQueen! KACHOW!
Character idol
Meryl’s favorite of them all, Raya!
Character fuel
We learned from Raya that Tuk Tuk’s favorite food is churros. So we had to get churros!
Character development
Choosing ‘ears’ is a personal journey. Ultimately, Meryl chose the path of bravery with her Ahsoka ears and wore them proudly each day…complimenting her pins collection, which she happily built while seeking out trading opportunities wherever she could.
