Disneyland With Two Girls!

Finally, the post on Disneyland. I didn't want to do multiple posts and had major technical difficulties on the video, so it was slow in coming! To see the ridiculously long video (two girls and a new camera made for an excess of pictures) click HERE or on the above picture to view.

New Favorites
We discovered some new favorites this trip.

Rides: Laura's new favorite ride now that she is tall enough is "Soarin'" in California Adventure. She came off the ride saying, "I flew. I really flew just like the Birds." We think that Sara's favorite ride was "Peter Pan's Flight". She was just enraptured the whole time in the ride and this is how she looked after we got off. Yes, she couldn't understand why it was over. Experience: We fell in love with the Character Breakfast "Minnie and Friends". The girls loved interacting with the characters and we loved the food. It was an excellent breakfast buffet and so much fun! Look at these faces and their fascination with characters.
Food: We discovered that the Carnation Cafe really has some of the best food in the park. And, they take reservations.

Technology: We used a cool computer program called RideMax to get on as many rides as possible. It was EXCELLENT for Magic Kingdom. (Not so much for California Adventure, but we don't spend much time there.) We got on everything quickly (including long line rides like Dumbo and Peter Pan) and had an amazing morning of like 13 rides in 2 hours.

Disney With a Baby
Sara was remarkable. She loved being outside and with her family constantly. The double stroller was our salvation with her. She slept there and was always happy sitting next to her sister. Sara loved the rides and parades and got healthy being outside in warm air. We brought tons of supplies to make her comfy (blankets, food, bottles, clothing) and it seemed to work. Our one mistake was not having connecting hotel rooms instead of all just staying in one room...we'll fix that for next time.
