MAGIC OF DISNEY

One week ago from today, the mr. and I kissed our six goodbye and made the drive to Anaheim for some much needed one-on-one time. The kids stayed with my parents while we spent two FULL days at Disneyland and California Adventure. We had such a magical time together; we smiled and laughed while going on ride after ride together. We shared all of the treats and even had an unforgettable sit-down dining experience. Here are our park highlights, in no particular order:

Park Opening • Indiana Jones • Pirates of the Caribbean • Splash Mountain • Haunted Mansion • Thunder Mountain • Mark Twain • Tom Sawyer's Island • Jungle Cruise • Turkey Leg • Star Tours • Autopia • Storm Troopers • Space Mountain • Hidden Car in the Monorail • Kettle Corn • Sleeping Beauty's Castle • Incredicoaster • Pixar Pier Parfait • Guardians of the Galaxy • Dinner at the Jolly Holiday • Pixar Ferris Wheel • Midway Mania • Radiator Springs Racers • Lightning McQueen • Soarin' Around the World • Corn on the Cob • Grizzly River Run • Disneyland Railroad • Dole Whip Float • Finding Nemo Submarine • Dinner at Café Orleans • Gluten Free Monte Cristo • Small World Lights • Fantasmic • Park Closing

I photographed so much on the first day and then completely ditched my camera after a couple of hours into the second. We stayed 13 hours on Thursday and the FULL 16 on Friday. We walked a total of 25+ miles and rode every ride that we wanted to. TIMES 4 OR 5. We ate from carts, from diners, and from a restaurant. We raced around the parks to catch rides and sat back to relax when we felt tired. We got comped for a meal and spent a pretty penny on our kids. We avoided Fantasyland and Toontown BECAUSE WE COULD. We soaked in details and enjoyed our time together. It was absolutely perfect.
