More Disney. . .

April 14th- Disneyland and California Adventure
We were told that in order to meet any princesses we had to wait in line, so the second day of Disney we after a quick stop at Dumbo, we headed right over. The line was already huge but we figured it would only get worse. My dad got stuck with us again, and was good to hold Berkley because they wouldn't let us take the stroller in. Braelyn made friends with another girl in the line, so the hour plus of waiting wasn't as bad as it sounds. Once you finally get to the entrance they let each girl go in one at a time, and Braelyn was in total awe. She got to meet Belle first and she was very sweet and I have never seen Braelyn that quiet and focused. Belle told her they could be sisters because they both have brown hair, and Braelyn was thrilled. We got our pictures and autographs then moved on to meet Arielle, and she was just as sweet. I think the wait was worth it for my dad as well, and I think he was a little teary-eyed behind the camera. Such fun to watch them react and believe in their fantasies. After that we headed over to California Adventure. It didn't seem to be as crowded and we didn't have to wait as long for rides. The California Screamin' roller coaster there was so much fun, we did it over and over. My mom and I took the girls over to Bug's Life World and Braelyn liked all the rides. She laughed and laughed when she and Munga rode on the bumper cars. I took her on the spinning lady bugs and it started out really fun, but got a little bumpy as we went. The parade there was a lot more fun and we didn't have to push for a spot. We all had a good time dancing and seeing the characters.



April 15th- Disney
Our last day at Disney we wanted to meet Mickey and Minnie but when we got to Toon Town the line for both of them was over two hours. I wish they could have had a few more Mickeys hanging around because Braelyn was disappointed not to see them, but it's just too hard to wait that long with little ones. We saw Goofy hanging out but when we tried to walk up to him, his worker said he had to "take a break." It was too bad he couldn't just stop to say hi. There was a roller coaster that Braelyn could actually ride, and she had a lot of fun even though it got a little scary. She still talks about that ride. We spent this day making sure no one had missed out on any rides and doing our favorites again. Braelyn and Berkley loved riding Winnie-the-Pooh and we all went on the Haunted Mansion and I almost peed my pants when Taylor tripped and fell into the wall by the exit. Munga and Papa got each of the girls a baby princess, and even though we were exhausted we left Disneyland with tons of fun memories and lots of new experiences.
