Just got caught up on a few updates. Welcome back from your trip, by the way!
Very cool about the handful of magic fast passes!
Love all the pictures, especially Cars Land at night.
Sorry things didn't go according to plan, but glad you still managed to have a pretty good time.
Thanks! We had so much fun!
It was definitely some pretty incredible pixie dust! I was totally in shock.
Cars Land really transforms completely at night. It's absolutely something we have to see during the day and at night every trip.
It ended up being a really great day, despite our plans getting disrupted at every single turn. lol
Sounds like it wasn't the smoothest of nights, but for the most part you ended up using all your FPs and Rider Swaps. I guess it was good they had to completely shut down the train, otherwise you probably would have been riding when DH had to bring DS to you.
Bummer about landing the same sequence on Guardians of the Galaxy. Guess that's reason enough to return to
Disneyland soon!
I know MSEP is a classic, but I have to wonder how DL vets felt about it after seeing Paint the Night. I imagine it had to have been a little underwhelming.
Ah, no, sorry to hear the trees obstructed your fireworks view!
It was a bit frustrating to have such perfectly laid plans only to have obstacles at every turn. But overall it ended up being a great Disneyland day.
You know, with how packed Main Street would get every night HOURS before parade time with people staking out their spots, I'd say they were thrilled to have it back in DL! I haven't seen Paint the Night yet
sad
but I would have thought along the same lines as you. That doesn't seem to be the case though!
Obstructed fireworks at Disneyland is still better than home with no fireworks. lol It would have been less frustrating to deal with had the nighttime stuff not been SO late and we could have planned another night to see the fireworks later in the week.
What a bummer about RSR! The kids look so joyous on Luigi's though!
Great nighttime pics of DCA!
Smart of you and DD to head over to DL while the boys finished their night at DCA. Ya'll look too cute on the carousel!
I'm sorry you didn't have the best fireworks spot
Despite things not going to plan, I'm glad it was still a good day!
The kids, especially DD, really LOVED Luigi's! I lost count of how many times we took her on that ride. lol
It was nice to have a little time to do something with just her that wasn't in Cars Land or Bugs Land. Haha Although the park was a little crazy, at least the carousel was doable and she enjoyed it!
Overall it was great. I mean, we were in Disneyland!! Just frustrating to have such a perfect evening plan to be thwarted at every turn. lol
Once again, your DH's photos are fabulous! What a great way to remember your trips!
Thanks!! He does an amazing job and is pretty much always editing lol
Oh no! Poor DS! It would have been much more convenient if he'd decided that before they went over there, of course. But I remember being a kid and being indecisive and having meltdowns like this. It happens.
It definitely does, and a lot with him. It made me a little worried about taking him to Universal, but he was a lot braver than I had expected.
That's pretty frustrating when you have things planned out for maximal park touring!
Exactly! Each little thing on its own wouldn't have been so bad, it just seemed like we had laid out a great plan for the evening to use swaps and FPs since we knew the parks would be busy so everything going wrong was definitely frustrating.
Haha! She is SUCH a handful!! Having DS first definitely did NOT prepare me for a second child! She is incredibly headstrong and stubborn and independent. She will make a fantastic leader or CEO one day, but right now at 2 years old she gives me a run for my money!!!
This is so sweet! Your children are precious!
Thank you so much!
