Disneyland

Here are a few of the moments we managed to capture from our 2 days at Disneyland and California Adventure.  It was SO fun to go with the Choi's, and meet up with my parents, and my brother's family (with their 3 boys!), who were spending the week there.

On the tram, from the parking area to the park.  The excitement building.
At the entrance - the pic you just have to take.
Making our way down Main street.
Buzz Lightyear was our first ride - Will wasn't so sure.
We tried the rockets while we waited for the cousins to make their way from Frontierland.
While everyone else did Buzz Lightyear again, we treated Will to his first churro by the castle.  One of those sweet, perfect moments.
 The first of many.
 Small world was still decked out for Christmas - truly amazing.
 Waiting in line for autopia.
 After getting their own license, we were ready to go.
 This kid was excited.
 His favorite buddy.
 Waiting in line for Peter Pan is so much better when you get to cuddle with Grandma.
 Will watching the Peter Pan boats take off - I forgot how magical this ride is.
Outside Toad's Wild ride - Andrew's favorite.
 Caden and I did Dumbo while the older boys did Star Tours.
Grandpa and Grandma took the wee ones on Winnie the Poo while Dave and I hit Splash Mountain with Chris and Julie Anne.
 Waiting in line for Pirates of the Carribean - New Orleans square in the background.
 My brother was the Disneyland master- between fastpasses and his phone app which told us live wait times for each ride, he helped us make the most of our two days.
 Small World lit up at night.
Quick stop at toontown before dinner. 
Pizza right outside Space Mountain.
 On our way out we got to see the Disneyland parade!
A magical first day.  We spent the night in Aneheim with my family.  After getting kids down, Dave and I headed back to Disneyland with my brother and his wife for a memory filled double date.
 Saturday morning we started in Disneyland.  This was in toontown, just after meeting Mickey.
 Our whole crew - look at all those boys!  On our way over to California Adventure, where the lines were much shorter.
 Taking in The Little Mermaid ride.
 Dear JA and I walking our babes.
 Their reaction to seeing the California Screamer roller coaster go by.
 Going fishin - everybody gets a prize.  Perfect.
 Will got a Mickey!
My dad and I survived the California Screamer ;).
 Mickey hats from Downtown Disney on our way out.
Complete with names on the back.

What a WONDERFUL, unforgettable few days!  So thankful we got to experience it with so many of our favorite people.
