My Favorite Place on Earth

My favorite place to go on vacation is Disneyland. I am sure this is because of all of my good memories of going there with my family when I was a kid. That was before the 3 day hopper pass. You went for one day and you felt pretty good if you got more than 10 to 12 rides in a day. The lines were always really long and I remember waiting over 2 hours for the more popular rides. But we always had a really good time. It wasn't so much about the rides but going there with cousins and having a great time being silly. I remember that we would be at the gate when it opened and then would run with my dad to Space Mountain to get on it before the line got to long. So to keep up with tradition Space Mountain was the first ride we went on everyday we were there. This was our first time without worrying about stollers or a baby....and everyone could go on all the rides except for 2.

The kids at the Hotel waiting for the shuttle bus on the first day. Can't you just see the excitement.

Splash mountain was one of the kids favorite rides and I am not even sure how many times we went on it. The ride made more sense to them once I explained the story behind the ride.....it is sad that they haven't ever seen "Song of the South" and probably won't ever get to see it. As a kid this was one of my favorite Disney movies.

This is an all too frightening picture...and one that I will face daily in about 3 years.
Zach was so excited that they let him drive his own car. He was only tall enough because of his hair.

Cruella was one of the the kids favorite characters. She was very funny....and very tall.

Nobody does a parade like Disney!

This is Amanda on the Canoe ride.

The "Fam" with Donald Duck.

The longest line we stood in was Pixie Hollow.....all to meet Tinkerbell and another Fairy Friend...which I can't remember the name. But the girls were excited to get Tinkerbell's autograph.


This was during the fireworks on the last day at Disneyland. I guess after 3 days of 8am to midnight the kids were kind of tired. We had a great time and I can't wait to go back.
