Family Vacation 2016: Day 2 [Disneyland!]

Day 2! Day 1 at Disneyland!

We ate breakfast at the hotel and drove over to park! (I thought we were in walking distance because we stay at the same hotel every time. Well within the last 3 years they hotel changed names and have new owners and I didnt pay attention and ended up booking us a mile from the park haha woops) We waited about 10 minutes for bag check and about 10 minutes to get in the park. First stop when we were in... Ariel's Bubble Wand. We saw so many the night before, Emma begged for one. Or course! So glad we grabbed it then, a worker informed me they ran out park-wide that day! James made sure to bring it on every ride so it wouldn't get swiped from our stroller.

Family selfie! We are excited to show Emma all the fun!

Everyone you walked by gets bubbled haha

We saw Woody and the line was short, so we met up with him first. I wanted to get my rides out of the way so we could focus on Emma. We started with the Haunted Mansion (which Emma hated at first but wanted to go again ha) and then the Pirates of the Caribbean (which she felt the same about, but asked to go again!)

 We then hit Toon Town and saw Pluto. We were last in line to greet him, so they danced for a few minutes and it was so cute. She then asked to meet Mickey and Minnie. So Mickey was first! Her face when she saw him was priceless. When we went to see Minnie, the line was 75 minutes. So we told her she went to lunch and we would try again later. (So glad we did, because day 3 was so magical)

We did a few more things in Toon Town, grabbed some lunch and we to bigger rides!

 The Tea Cups were so much fun. Her laughter while James spun us was the best ever. After this, my phone started to die because I did not prepare. But we explored all over Disneyland and Emma just had such a great time. Lots of squeals and 'Wow Mom!!!'. On the Astro Blasters Toy Story ride, Emma did really well! I was impressed she hit the targets and scored some points! All 3 of us crammed in a rocket ride and it was tears after from how funny it was with us all in it. Was not sure if we would make it to the end. After about 630-7 we headed back through downtown and grabbed some diner and headed to the hotel. Fireworks started around 930 and we could see them from the parking lot. We all crashed around 930 and were back at it for our final day! Part 3 to come...
