...when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heart aches, whatever you wish for you keep.....or something like that..oh Disneyland where you remember being a kid and often times wish you were there again. The best part about it is watching your own kids enjoy it as much as you did! We had a BLAST on our first official family vacation to the "happiest place on earth." Aside from being in the midst of a Hannah Montana sweet sixteen soiree, and suffering 90 degree weather we survived, thrived, and lived to tell the tale.
Highlights for me were the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, love it as much as I ever did, and the Indiana Jones ride which makes you feel like you're part of the movie. Nathan loved the California Adventure side of Disneyland. (For those of you who haven't been in a while, it's a new theme park where the parking lot used to be). They have the typical "thrill" rides, a large roller coaster and something called the "maliboomer" which shoots you straight up in the air and then drops you. We both were impressed with the Hollywood Tower of Terror which is a 30's style haunted hotel straight out of the Twilight Zone. You ride in an elevator that continually goes up and down at alarming speeds. It freaked me out.
Evelyne loved the Pirates, haunted house, seeing the princesses at lunch and all the disney characters. Daddy stuffed her shoes with socks to make her tall enough to ride on Splash Mountain and Thundermountain Railroad which she loved. She also liked the Matterhorn even with the scary snow monster! She's a brave soul like her dad.
Gilbert loved any train or car we went on and HATED waiting in lines. So, we would alternate often. He was scared of the characters and didn't want them to get too close but liked admiring them from afar and would call out "Goopy" for Goofy and "Chickmunk" for Chip and Dale. He really loved Autopia where you can drive a car yourself; he was so in heaven doing that.
We all enjoyed the company of our friends, Danelle, Tim, Olivia, Vanessa, and Cole VanWinkle. They are Disneyland pros and were very helpful telling us where to go and when. We all survived kid meltdowns and elations which made for a lot of fun memories for our family.
