Disneyland-do we really have to leave?


Blake let us sleep in until 8:00 a.m. this morning! The kids slept so good after a long day the day before. We ate breakfast and checked out of our hotel and headed back to Dissneyland for our last day. We went to California Adventure to ride some rides we missed and to ride Soarin' over California again. We saw some more characters and shopped a little for souveniers. We tried to talk the kids on going on the Tower of Terror again, but they would have none of it.

Then we headed back into Disneyland and had to get the picture in front of the Mickey Mouse landscaping. It was so nice there. All the trees had their leaves and the grass was green. Flowers were everywhere. We were sad to have to head back to wintery Utah. We took the horse drawn "bus" up to Fantasyland. They got to sit in front with the driver and grilled him with a lot of horse questions. We decided to grab lunch at a bratwurst stand and Ty spilt his milk everywhere. Every meal! :)

Ainsley wanted to meet more princesses, so we got into a long line and settled in for the wait. Blake took Ty to go on some more rides (including the Jungle Book Cruise, of course). When we were almost to the front of the line, the came back and got into line with us. We didn't think that he would want to see the princesses but he must have warmed up to the idea because he went to them just fine today. Prince Phillip was there again and after the kids talked to him, he took them over to Sleeping Beauty to introduce her to us. She was really sweet with the kids and complimented Ainsley on her hair (I re-created what they had done to it the day before). We also got to meet Pocahontas, which is one of their favorite princesses, so they were pretty happy to meet her.

On our way out of Fanstasy land, we had to stop by the Snow White inlet again and then we went on a few rides in Tomorrow Land, including the rocket ride and the Buzz Lightyear ride. By then, it was almost time to go. We started to feel to pangs of regret for deciding to stay for only three days. It was crazy because on our first day we were dreading 2 more days of kids whining in Disnryland. But it turned out that we had a great exprience afterall and we can't wait to come back in a few years.

we were wishing we could have stayed longer too. I think next time will definitely be a 5 day trip.
