1st Disneyland visit

My birthday and mommy's day present all wrapped into one was to go to Disneyland :) I loved watching the girls have the time of their lives and although there were some meltdowns, sun beating down (I'm allergic to heat and not once did I get sick...yay!), and lots of walking it was really, really fun! Thanks daddy!

We left for the road along with our neighbors the Ko's on Friday night and arrived at our hotel a little past midnight. The hotel Ramada Maingate is located very close to the entrance, so we didn't need to move the minivan once we got there. A whole lot of walking going on, but after several days of good pain it was all good.

The girls were really upset early on because A - they didn't know what was going on, B - The Finding Nemo ride was scary because they didn't know what to expect on their first ride, C - NOT ENOUGH SLEEP! After a while they got used to seeing the characters they were used to in movies and on tv and the excitement and smiles were really worth it. They weren't too keen on their favorite Tinkerbell nor Minnie Mouse, but when it came to Mickey...holy cow! They love him and well who doesn't? Of course I wanted to share my all time favorite ride as a child and took them to Small World. It's changed a bit, but still the same ole great song which Hannah hummed and sang all through the ride.


Sophie and Hannah got their "First visit to Disneyland" buttons as they entered the Happiest Place on Earth!

Oooh...Ahhhh...The Fall scepter.

Hannah is bit scared of Tink even though she loves watching her movies.

Sophie decides to brave it, but she was pretty hesitant as well.
