We just got back from Disneyland! We absolutely loved it. Chuck and I were both shocked at how well behaved the kids were. No meltdowns, no whining and almost no begging. We hardly recognized our own kids. We wanted to go in October so it wouldn't be so hot or crowded. Both thoughts were a total fail but we made it work anyway. We planned the days so we were able to walk onto most rides. The lines we did wait in the kids didn't seem to mind. The kids loved meeting characters! Watching Hazel meet Minnie and Cinderella were definitely high lights for us. Jack was so cute meeting the Princesses. He bowed down to them and was freaking out because his hands were dirty. He made Chuck take him to the bathroom to wash his hands. If you know Jack this was pretty funny because he's the dirtiest kid ever and never seems to mind. Jack was pretty brave and went on the scary rides with Dad. He get off the rides saying, "I'm so brave!"
Hazel's favorite rides were definitely, The Little Mermaid and the carousels.
Jack's favorite ride was the racing ride in Cars Land. We all loved Cars Land! It looked so much like the movie.
We're so grateful for military discounts that allow our family to take these trips!
