Disneyland

We spent our second day and part of our third day at Disneyland.  We spent so much time on characters we don't have many other pictures.  We tried going to Tomorrowland and got in line for Star Tours first since there was no wait.  We were in line to board and Chloe broke down.  Eric took her out so just Etta and I road it.  I think Chloe had a hard time not seeing the rides before getting on them.  It's too scary for her.  Etta enjoyed Star Tours but said she didn't want to do it again since it was a little scary.

We did Autopia and the girls had tons of fun on that.  Of course the gas pedal was really hard to push so I did the pushing on Etta's car while she drove.  Space Mountain...I have memories riding that when I was little and it was scary!  Now, both the girls love roller coasters so we presented it as a roller coaster ride.  I wish I took a picture of the girls' face from the first time they road it.  Etta couldn't be seen since she was so small but Chloe had her ears covered with her hands since she thought it was too loud.  Chloe was not up for it again but Etta LOVED it.  Throughout the weekend, she went on it about 10 times.  That's how short the lines were.  However, Chloe ended up loving the Matterhorn.

Something about going round and around and up and down makes the kids happy.



After Tomorrowland we headed to Fanatasyland where the girls could see all the princesses.  I was shocked to she how long the lines were to ride simple rides like Dumbo and Alice in Wonderland.  We chose not to wait in those lines and headed for quicker moving rides with short waits, like the carousel.

The merry go round always puts smiles on little faces

It's a Small World was closed so after walking around Fantasyland we remembered Pixie Hollow.  We didn't wait long but got to see a cute set up that reminded the girls of Secret of the Wings, one of their favorite movies!

We went over to Toon Town and the kids had a blast.  It's just fun to walk around (see all the characters) and ride a small roller coaster.  The girls lucked out and get the front seat.  Happy girls!

 

 After meeting Mickey, the girls got in this cute car for pictures.

 

 

In the evening there was a parade and we had great seats!

It was about 5pm our third day and wanted to call it quits, but the girls still had some spending money.  So, we told them we'd take them to Build a Bear to spend what they had left and we'd cover them if they were short.  It took the girls around 30 minutes just to pick which stuffed animal.  Then Eric said they could pick out a sound.  It didn't take Chloe long since she picked a dog but Etta has picked a Minnie Mouse inspired teddy and they didn't have a Minnie sound.  So, he let her pick a sent.  After stuffing he even let them pick out accessories!  Chloe picked a dog house and some hair clips.  Etta had a harder time, she tried on every dress before picking the first one tried on.  Then, she had to pick out shoes.  Sigh, it took us about 90 minutes to get out of the store. 
We had a blast at Disneyland and we are finally recovered!
