The Happiest Place on Earth

GUESS WHERE WE WENT???
The Happiest Place on Earth
Noah was pretty excited....that is why we go, right?!
{California Adventure}

{The carousel at California Adventure} {Main Street, USA}
{This is one of Noah's most favorite rides in the whole place: The Rockets}
{this is one of my favorite rides, Buzz Lightyear, but of course, I'm the photographer, so you get to see Grandpa & Grandma instead....they'll love me for this!} The funny, {or not so funny} part of the day, every ride we tried to go on broke down! First it was Pirates of the Caribbean, then it was the Haunted Mansion, next was Thundermountain...take a look as we had to walk out of this ride. It was actually kind of cool because you really got to see details of the ride, that you normally cannot see when you are flying past them. Plus, as a bonus they gave us a fastpass pass for up to 6 people. For those of you who are not familiar with a fastpass, it is another line at a ride that allows you quicker entry onto the ride. Usually you go to the ride, put your ticket in a fastpass machine, it will then give you a ticket telling you to come back to the ride between a certain time frame. Then you get access to the fastpass lane, which really cuts down your waiting time.

One of the fun things about going to Disneyland during the holidays is all of the really neat decorations. Halloween is a big holiday at the park now...next will be all the beautiful Christmas decorations. That is my favorite time to visit.

What is a day at Disney without Disney treats.
This is actually dinner! I know, horrible, but it's not every day!!
After a lot of walking, heading back to the car, sounds pretty good!
We had a great time & were glad to spend it with Grandpa & Grandma. When we left the park, we drove Grandpa & Grandma to Los Angeles to stay at a hotel for the night before their flight home the next morning. We had a great time with them and were so happy that they came to visit. Noah is already talking about our trip to Ohio for Christmas, I think he's really hoping for snow!

  1. I think you are just a little bit spoiled being able to go to Disney anytime you want. What a super fun day! I am a little bit jealous. We need to come and visit...soon.

    Halloween is one of the ONLY holidays that we haven't "done" Disneyland! I loved seeing all of the creative carving and the decorations. They always put on such as splash at Disney. My favorite picture? Dick and Judi on Buzz Lightyear...priceless!
