Disneyland! Again!

As we are getting closer to Tyler starting 3rd year I think I'm starting to panic a little about our lack of family time. I decided we needed to go on a little trip just the four of us and I wanted to give Disneyland another try! I don't know if you remember our last Disney trip -- I sure do!





Anyway... we got a great deal on the Paradise Pier Hotel which is situated right on California Adventure Park and stayed over just for one night, giving us 2 whole days to enjoy!





The kids had a blast and there were NO major incidents like last time (except for one little barfing episode by Lia at the hotel restaurant -- no big deal)! The lines were incredibly short. We spent the first morning at California Adventure and basically didn't wait in a single line. The kids hopped right on to every ride they wanted to go on.





We then headed over to Disneyland and got on almost every ride with now line! It was perfect.





That night we let the kids go in the hotel pool. Even though it was slightly chilly out the pool was heated and the kids had a blast. I think they had a better time at the pool than they did at Disneyland!





Cute excited kids!!








Second day at Disneyland! We hit up a few new rides, including the Nemo ride and the Tiki Room.









And the highlight of Lia's trip was meeting Minnie Mouse! She didn't care about meeting any other character at the park -- not even the princesses! But she was determined to wait in line to see Minnie. Even after Minnie had to take a break for some "cheese" behind the scenes. Lia ran right up to Minnie when it was her turn and gave her a HUGE hug and said "I like your shoes Minnie Mouse! They so pretty! Them just like my shoes!" She was star-struck for sure!







It was a great little family trip! Just what we needed.
