Disney Day #4

This is the day that we were able to enter Disneyland an hour earlier then the park opened. Apparently we were not the only people that had this special access.  The park was already filled with people by the time we got in.  We decided to head straight to Fantasy Land and ride all of the "kid friendly" rides.  I use this term loosely because I think Snow White and Pinocchio were more scary than some of the adult rides!  We did enjoy Peter Pan and some of the other classics.  We also decided to head back to Toon Town since the twins missed out the first time we went.  We got to meet Mickey Mouse at his house, which made the kids very happy.  This is the first day that we left the park to head back to the hotel for a much needed nap for the kids and the adults as well.  We were beyond exhausted at this point and were determined to make it to the night time parade.  When we woke up, we headed to California Adventure for some boardwalk fun.  We ended our evening with an awesome 60th celebration parade.  The faces on my boys were of pure joy.  I had more fun watching their reactions than the actual parade!  This is what Disney is all about!

They were ready to move in to Mickey's house.

Dylan was definitely not happy taking pictures.

We went on It's a Small World.  Mason still sings the song today because you hear it over and over again throughout the entire ride.

Austin was not happy that we went on this ride.

All kids were getting cranky at this point.  They did not want to sit for anymore pictures!

Noah loved the Mickey Ferris Wheel.  He would say, "Weeeeeee" when the cart would sway.

The parade pictures do not do it justice.  We watched it on YouTube before we went to Disney as well, but nothing compares to seeing it live and being in the moment.
