I think I've held off on posting this because it's the of my Disneyland/California recap. :( This trip was such an unexpected blessing for us. There is excitement in carefully planning a trip and picking out each detail months and months in advance, but there is just as much excitement booking a surprise trip a couple of weeks in advance. This trip wasn't even on our radar for the distant future, but when our plans to RV to the Grand Canyon fell through at the last minute it just popped into our heads. Sometimes God has the best plans because the kids were right in the Disney sweet spot if you will. This trip will forever hold a special spot in our hearts. If you're waiting to take your kids to _____ {insert almost anywhere there}, DON'T! Take the trip & make the memories. If your kids won't remember it, you will!
Disney California may have been our favorite part of the trip! {even if I did make us all show up an hour early -- oops!} Disneyland is special just because it's Disneyland, but Disney California was more exiting for the kids because it's so much more relevant to them. We rode almost all of the rides here, too, but they actually knew the characters. Jordyn loved the Monsters Inc. ride because Sully talked to her about her glasses at the end {they must have someone looking at a camera so they know what you look like-haha!} Cullyn got to meet Captain America which was definitely a highlight for a 5 year old boy! My favorite was the Guardians of the Galaxy {maybe a bit much for 5 & 6 year olds, but they loved it! It's basically like the Tower of Terror at Disney World if you've done that}. We all loved Cars {we could have done that ride 20 more times -- make sure you FastPass that ride, it was a 2.5 hour wait} and Soarin' {so, so good! Takes you all around the world!}
