In February we spent a week in California and a 3 days at Disneyland. The kids couldn’t contain their excitement. Sydney and Hailey didn’t know what to expect.
First ride was Space Mountain. Hailey rode with me and screamed the whole time “I just wanted to meet the princesses”. For the record I did not encourage them to try that ride and it may have been a little fast for the first ride.
We did a few more mellow rides but it became clear to me that nothing would be fun for the twins till they got to meet the princesses’. So off we went…
Afterword Grandpa told the girls they could pick any dress in the princess dress shop. It was such a treat, even for me!
Some other highlights from Disneyland…
My niece Cali. She was excited about everything. Every ride, every character. Her fearless nature rubbed off on the twins and soon they were willing to ride almost everything.
Jacob’s first time riding Indiana Jones. Last visit he was too short. Day 1 the ride closed with technical problems. So he insisted he wear the shirt again for his first time riding.
First upside down roller coaster for these three. They loved it!
What’s a trip to Disney without meeting lot’s of characters. We met a lot!
Where else can you wear your princess dress all day? Magic. We met the princesses twice. 6 Princesses in all.
Some Favorites were Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean (like 5 times), It’s a small world, Soaring over California, Tower of Terror and Indiana Jones. The Aladdin show in California is also not to be missed. The new toy story ride at California Adventure is really fun! This trip was a the first time I have been to Disneyland in a long time where I wasn’t pregnant, nursing, a mother of a newborn, mother of toddler twins… You get the idea. Older kids+ easier times. They could ride almost all the rides. We had so much fun remembering those visits when they were babies and all the things we did and enjoyed when they were small. 3 days at Disney was perfect!

We are hoping to make a trip to California this fall. Our friends finally adopted their first baby (after 10 years of waiting!) and we want to be there for the sealing. We are debating if going to D-land is worth it with a wee one. Your kids are all grown enough to love it and enjoy most rides. (Hailey being the exception, of course) :) Pirates is my favorite ride too. But, I can't think of any other amusement parks that would be better/easier than Disneyland with a 6 month old, can you?
I am glad you guys had fun. It looks like the weather was nice too. Disneyland really is the happiest place on earth just ask my kids...lol
What's better than Disneyland with your cousins?
Nuttin.

It looks like you guys had a great time. I am so glad the weather was good for you.
This post makes me miss California. Especially with all of the snow on the ground here.
Looks like an amazing time. I'm sort of three shades of jealous over it. :)
That shot of your niece Cali is FANTASTIC!
Ah we just missed you! We were there for three days a few weeks ago. I agree three days is perfect! So fun! We went with the grandparents and cousins. You got some great pics. Amazes me how you can get soo many family photos..mine won't cooperate!
Fun times!!!! I love how grandpa spoiled his grandkids with dresses and face painting:) Glad the twins got to meet the princesses too. Disney wouldn't be complete without that!
Looks like you all had a great time! Those kinds of vacations always wear you out though! I bet you needed another vacay when you got home! And....Sweet Grandpa!! Love that he spoiled his girls!
♥ Such a fun time! My sister just went with her family a couple of weeks ago! It looks like they all had a blast!
