We just got back from a 5-night stay at the Disneyland Hotel.
This was Lizzy’s first time being able to ride California Screamin’, and her first time being able to ride the non-tandem “Silly Symphony Swings”
Lizzy got a suprise – a visit to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, where she got her hair done by Paola, along with makeup and nail painting by Ariel!
Grammy & Papa visited the parks with us for 2 days (Tuesday and Wednesday).
This morning we returned from a 5-night stay at the Grand Californian at the Disneyland Resort. Some friends of ours (Tom & Amberlee) stayed at a nearby hotel and came to the parks with us – they had to leave on Thursday though.
The trip started out with meeting heavy traffic on the way there, which was followed by the car deciding it didn’t want to work and we were stranded on the side of the freeway for about 2.5 hours just about 10 miles past Primm. It wound up taking us a total of 10 hours to make it to the resort.
This trip was Lizzy’s first 46″ trip, which meant she got to ride Indian Jones! First ride wasn’t her favorite, but by the third time, she was starting to enjoy it.
Last night we returned from a 3-night stay at the Paradise Pier Hotel in the Disneyland Resort Area. During our first night of our vacation, we went over to Medieval Times. Lizzy was recognized during a ceremony by the King, and during the performance, she got a sash from our prince from the tournament.
Last night we returned from a 6-night vacation. We took a cousin with us so Lizzy would have someone to play with and went for 2 days at Knott’s Berry Farm, and the other days were at Disneyland. Should have just done all days at Disneyland as many of the rides at Knott’s are not suited for little ones. We stayed in the Disneyland Hotel with a view of the new pool area, which the girls loved.
Today we returned from a quick 3-night trip to Disneyland!
Well, we just got back from Disneyland early this morning, and we had a blast! We had some friends (Bryce, Susan and Abagail) stay with us a couple of days, so Lizzy had a play-friend.
We all stayed in a 1-bedroom villa at the Grand Californian – everyone appeared to have a great time.
Lizzy now hit the 42″ mark whenever they checked her height, so that meant she could now ride Mulholland Madness – she loved it! Last visit she could already ride the Grizzly River Run, so that wasn’t a new ride for her. The Redwood Creek Challenge Trail was closed for enhancements so she didn’t get to go in that area.
Well, got back from Disneyland early this morning.
This trip was our first visit to DVC’s Villas at the Grand Californian. We stayed in a 1-bedroom villa and enjoyed it!
This trip Lizzy was just barely 42″ I guess cause on Grizzly River Run she could ride it, but not on Mulholland Madness – that did NOT make her too happy.
Early this morning we returned from a quick 2-night stay at the Grand Californian hotel at the Disneyland Resort!
Early this morning we returned from a 3-night stay in a Concierge room at the Grand Californian.
DisneyLand opened up more lines for Lizzy this trip – because she was just barely 40 inches tall!
She got to ride on these rides for the first time:
She was also tall enough for the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, but we thought we had better take it easy.
We usually don’t buy the pictures when you get off the rides, but the second time that Lizzy went on Space Mountain, she realized that somewhere there was a camera on the ride since we looked for the pictures after the first time on the ride. When asked how she knew where to wave, she said she didn’t. She just posed by waving and smiling the entire ride (except for the times when Mommy would tell her that she needed to yell). The picture can be found in the Gallery.
Early this morning, we returned from a 5-night vacation over to Disneyland, where we stayed in a Concierge room at the Grand Californian.
