Disneyland Trip 2016: Final Day!

I really couldn't have asked for a better last day at Disneyland and California Adventure. The weather was great. The kids were great and it wasn't too busy. We got to go on a lot of things we hadn't yet and were wanting to including Soarin', The Tower of Terror, and The Matterhorn. My mom and sister got to go on Cars with Everly which is hilarious. We also got to go on Grizzly River Run and Everly loved that! There was also a chunk of time where I had Aspen by myself when everyone else was on rides and it actually was really awesome. We were able to get pictures with a ton of characters. She was really into Judy Hopps from Zootopia and even played peek-a-boo with her.  We also took the kids to see the Disney Junior Live show which they loved. We did a little shopping for some last minute gifts and also picked up the kitchen sink ice cream sundae from Clarabelle's in DCA. It was awesome and everyone kept asking us where we got it from! I am so glad that we were able to make this trip with the girls and also very grateful that my sister-in-law, mom and sister were able to come as well. It would not have been as fun without them. We left the next morning and got back to our house by like 1-ish so it really wasn't too bad. We have no plans for a Disneyland Trip again for probably several years so I am glad it went so well.

We got to see Tink before the line got long!

The lady outside of Tower of Terror gave us a photoshoot, haha.

I was supposed to act asleep but didn't realize the photo was that soon! Haha!

The new Soarin is really cool and Everly actually really enjoyed it.

 

Disney Jr. Live!

My birthday princess!

It's a small world was a hit with the littles.

Disneyland Trip 2016: Goofy's Kitchen

Our third day and final day at Disneyland started out with breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen. It was Everly's birthday this day so that is why we decided to do it that day. I considered other Character Breakfasts but ultimately decided to go with Goofy's Kitchen again because I like to go early before the park opens and I like the classic characters that you get to see. Also, I like the food! HERE is my post from our last time there. My favorite part is the omelette station but everything is really good. Everly wanted chicken nuggets with her breakfast and I tried a bite and even those were really good. Goofy's kitchen is in the Disneyland Hotel and I would just love to stay there one day! Breakfast is usually the best meal of the day for the girls as far as eating all of their food and eating good choices so they both did really well. I even let Everly eat worms in dirt because it was her birthday! We got pictures with lots of characters. Mae did not like them up close but was fine from a distance. Aspen wasn't quite as spooked as Mae but was definitely not ready for hugs or a picture. Everly did great and they even sung Happy Birthday to her! If you are going to Disneyland I definitely recommend looking into a character breakfast. We love them!

the gang!

We love Chippy!

When in Disneyland!

Disneyland Trip 2016: Day 2

On our second day at Disneyland we were able to take advantage of the Magic Morning Hour since we had 3-day Park Hopper passes. This means that we were able to get into Disneyland an hour early. It was a little tough getting to the park by 7AM but we made it. We went on Space Mountain right away because that line can get crazy. Everly actually went on it too. We weren't really planning on it but it just happened. She did okay while on it, but got a little scared after it was over so she did not ride it again. After that we hit up Fantasyland because that area gets really busy too since none of those rides have fast passes. We had to go on Dumbo of course! Once my mom and sister got in the park we started going on rides with them. The girls were so excited to see Mae. Mae did pretty good on rides but didn't like the super dark ones. She also didn't really like the characters which is totally normal for that age. Aspen didn't love the characters either but didn't freak out so much. The kids got to see both the Disneyland Parade and the Pixar Parade in California Adventure and loved them both. I also got to try some more Disneyland Treats including the famous corn dog (worth it!) as well as the seasonal Butterscotch beignets. We hopped back and forth between the parks and even got to go on California Screamin while my mom watched all 3 kids (2 were sleeping). Some favorite rides were the Jungle Cruise for everybody and Big Thunder Railroad and Goofy's Flight School for Everly. She is such a screamer on rides and it is hilarious. Day 2 was great and we were exhausted by the end of the night!

Magic Morning!

Beignets are probably still my favorite Disneyland Treat

Aspen is not crying but still very skeptical about Goofy.

So much fun!
