Disneyland 2015

Last time we all went to the Magic Kingdom together was in December 2010, so this trip was long overdue (in my humble opinion). I have an annual pass and we were able to get a park-hopper for Peter for half-price, so we decided to raid the savings account (usually a no-no) and get the kids park-hoppers for Christmas. It's an extravagant gift, but we don't do it often, and it will only take about 12 hours of overtime for Peter to earn the money back, so, no worries.  :)

We had a great day. It was a warm day, with a high of 82ยบ and cooled off quite a bit at night. The parks weren't too crowded at first (we literally walked on to the first 5 rides, including Splash Mountain and Indiana Jones), but that changed shortly after noon. Then, both parks were packed--almost to capacity! But, everyone still got to go on their favorite rides. We did 19 rides total in just over 14 hours. I like to bring in my own food, both for health and financial reasons, but, we did splurge on churros and soft serve ice cream. Plus, the kids brought some of their birthday/Christmas money to buy souvenirs (I get a discount with my annual pass). I also couldn't resist this amazing Tigger mug for $13. Oh, how I love Disney!

Oh, and just so you know, so far, none of us have contracted the measles (because, THIS came up in the news yesterday). Vaccinations, FTW!

Big thanks to my parents for Toby-sitting for us so we could spend the day at the Happiest Place on Earth! We can't wait to go back! (But, it will be another two years or so.....)



The park was nearly empty when we got there, so I managed to grab this shot. 
Peter was over getting fast passes for Radiator Springs Racers, so we missed this opportunity for a great family castle shot. :/

Thunder Mountain!

Pure delight on Radiator Springs Racers.







The best family castle shot I could get with all the crowds....




Didn't get to ride Small World because it was over an hour wait. 
But, I still had to get a shot and watch the "show" outside the ride.


Tired faces after a FUN, but long, day.


Goodnight Disneyland...
