Dinseyland!

I've been hearing so much about Disneyland lately, from those planning trips or recent trips. It made me think about one of my favorite trips to Disneyland so I decided I would post some pics from a wonderful trip with some dear friends!


 This was the first picture of the trip pulling out of  Zach's house. Eric is resting his arms on the cooler that plugged into the cigarette lighter and kept our drinks cold. Cold drinks and lots of treats we were ready for the long night we had ahead of us!


 This was our last stop before we finally made it to Anaheim. Some gas station in the middle of the night, we were too excited to be tired!


 We finally made it to our hotel at about 5 am, took a quick nap then we made our way to the happiest place on earth! Can't you tell how happy Jenny and I are!


Here we are with Mr Potato Head waiting for our favorite ride...Toy Story Mania!


 We're ready to go


Don't we make great Coppertone girls?


Just looking over California Adventure


Maestro Mickey!!


Way to get into character Zach!


Looks like Jenny and Eric have themselves an admirer


Here we are in our sweet ride!


Yay we waited and waited and finally Classic Mickey!!


So Jenny and I convinced the boys to wait in line with us to see the Princesses and wait we did...for 1 1/2 hours! There was only one princess I was dying to see and that was Aurora since they rotate I thought what are the odds she'll be in there when it's our turn. Well as we were approaching our turn we asked the worker which princesses were in there and Aurora was one of them, imagine my surprise! Here we are the next group of people to go in and we see Aurora walking out...NOOOO!! So my wonderful friend Jenny knowing how disappointed I was started yelling Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty once she caught her attention we motioned for her to come over to us and she did!!


I got my picture with my favorite princess!! I felt like a 6 year old I was so happy!


Oh Snow White!


Cinderella taught us how stand like Princes and Princesses


What?! Is that the Fairy Godmother? Why yes it is, apparently she's very rare so we felt very lucky. The boys were less than thrilled with waiting in line for that long just to see princesses but the magic overpowered them and we all skipped out of Princess Land holding hands while rainbows formed all around us, maybe that didn't happen but I think we all remember it that way!


To infinity and beyond! We were so lucky to see so many awesome characters!


Tower of Terror I love you! Disney workers were on fire the weekend we were there, they were so punny we loved it...ie "Welcome to the Tower of Terror, where the rates are always dropping mwaahaha!"


Zach's favorite Character is Donald Duck we searched the whole park for any sightings of him and one day we finally spotted him only we were too late they weren't letting any more people line up so poor Zach could only see Donald from afar.



Poor Zach all of his dreams dashed


In the meantime Jenny and I found Minnie!


What's this? Donald and Zach finally together it was a happy moment for all of us!


This is our last picture of the trip, leaving Disneyland, Zach just wasn't ready to go, he shed a single tear. What a perfect ending to a perfect trip!
