Tinkerbell nightie as a cape.
The gift store near our hotel served us well. They love their Mickey and Minnie.
"Wooh-dy!" as Gabe pronounces it.
The Playhouse Disney show was totally perfect for the kids.
Jonny and I took turns on California Screamin'. I do love a good roller coaster.
Evy was a sweet girl but was fussy when overtired. At one point I
swaddled and held her while she slept so soundly for a few hours. Jonny
and the kids went off while I found a bench in a quiet, shady spot with a
nice breeze by the rapids ride in CA Adventure. It was actually a
highlight of my trip, holding my angel baby and people watching. I even
treated myself to a chocolate-covered frozen banana. (And I didn't have
to share!) I eventually put her down in the stroller where she slept a little longer. What is sweeter to see than a sleeping baby?
I have a picture of me as a kid by this little door.
Gabe was a little bummed that it wouldn't open!

Check out the pink mouse ears behind us. And Gabe, try not to look too excited to be at "The Happiest Place on Earth!"

We ended our last day watching "Mickey's Soundsational Parade." The Disney parades are incredible, and so so so fun for the kids. It was a perfect way to cap off our Disney week.
Overall the trip was just perfect. The kids had minimal tantrums and were troopers on the road. (Evy was the only one who didn't especially love the long rides in the car. We've trained her to sleep so well in her crib she doesn't much like to sleep anywhere else! I expected that.) Disneyland was everything we dreamed it would be for Julia and Gabe. (And the crowd level was low. We walked onto some rides even without a fastpass.) The beach was incredible. The hotel suite was just right for us and we really enjoyed how close it was to the park. I packed very carefully for this trip and was rewarded in my efforts - we had everything we could need or want and then some!
Goodbye for now, Disneyland. We hope to see you again much sooner than later.

Great trip report! I'm so glad you had a great time and the kids enjoyed it so. Now I really want to go back too. *sigh*
So fun! I am glad you had so much fun! Disneyland is the best.
By the way - I don't think I ever told you, but we are moving to Las Vegas next September so you are more than welcome to stay at our house on the way there/back - if you ever want to split it again (although I kind of agree, just get it over with).
That trip looked just amazing! I'm so glad everything worked out so well. I'm sure it was mostly because of you're great planning. Moms never get enough credit for that! I can't wait until mine are old enough for a trip like that to work. Thanks for giving me hope for the future!
