We have been so spoiled to go to Disneyland so many times this year. As pass holders, we have really taken advantage of going to the park throughout the year. But we don’t just go to Disneyland, we stay for several days! We always say we’ll stay one night and spend two full days at the park. Then we realize that we can’t spend two FULL days at the park. It is overwhelming and the kids adults tap out mid-afternoon and need a recharge back at the hotel. So we end up staying a second night and spend only part of the third day at the park- hitting up a few rides one last time or catching one more show. Either way, it’s always a good idea to stay an extra day!

 

This time we went to Disney with the Petersons. We went up a day early, because as I mentioned, we need three days! Kloey was finally tall enough to ride some of the bigger rides- like Big Thunder Mountain. Yeah, it’s obviously been MANY years since Scotty and I rode the ride, because we let her go on it! That ride was FAST and hit many dips, turns, drops, and everything in between!! She got off the ride and kept saying, “I did NOT like that ride!” Scotty and I apologized profusely and promised we’d not take her back on it. Kayden loved it! Needless to say, we didn’t go on any other “big kid” rides that day! On the last day, however, we went on the Cars ride in California Adventure. The ride is pretty tame until the race at the end, so we went in with our fingers crossed. She LOVED the ride!! On the second night, we stayed in a suite with the Petersons and the kids loved running around and being together for baths, bed, breakfast, and so much in between. We had a great time and look forward to renewing our passes again next year!

 

I, for some reason, don’t take pictures at Disneyland. Maybe I am too caught up in the moment or just too overwhelmed with chasing kids and large groups of people, but here are two pictures I stole from Scotty’s phone. They obviously don’t capture all that we did, but we look cute! 😉
