Disneyland!

One of the highlights of our Southern California trip was a day at Disneyland with Megan. Poor Liam had to miss all the fun, but got to have a full day of Mamaw's undivided attention.




With running shoes and a hair clip, Megan made it to the bottom of the 40 inch height measurement - meaning we could take her on all the rides! She was a champ on Big Thunder and was thrilled with the speed, but was Not a fan of the dark. "Too many caves." Mostly she didn't like any of the "scary" stuff - like bat eyes and wolves. She tolerated all the other dark rides - like Snow White, Peter Pan and Buzz Lightyear - but she still wasn't a fan of the dark or bad guys in your face. So it'll be no surprise that Megan's two favorite rides were Dumbo and the Tea Cups. We skipped all of the extra scary rides (Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain) this time around. Maybe next time!



In fact, Megan liked the tea cups so much, it didn't even matter that we only got a pink cup one of the four times we went on that ride!









Megan was super excited to see Mickey and we waited in line for 20 minutes or so, but just like Santa, when the time came she chickened out. So I got a picture of me and Mickey instead!






The other big thrill for Megan was the Disney parade. Megan beamed the whole time as Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Santa and all of the "princesses" ("except not Jasmine") waltzed by. Fortunately, we got to see it all again the second time around while waiting in line for the teacups!



Megan was a trooper all day and rallied till after 8 PM without a nap. One of the nice things about staying past dark is that we got to see all the lights that were up for the holidays. The It's a Small World ride even had a complete x-mas redo. Megan loved that the mermaids sang "jingle Shells!"

  1. Thanks for introducing Brooke to Mickey Mouse. It is by far her favorite picture. We now have to watch videos of Mickey on YouTube.
