The Happiest Place on Earth!

This summer we took Piper to Disneyland in CA. I've been wanting to take her there since she was born but realized I had to wait till she was big enough to appreciate it. And appreciate it she did! We had so much fun! She wasn't a big fan of the storybook rides, and definitely not a fan of the Guardians of the Galaxy (old Tower of Terror) ride, as they were all too dark, but she loved the Small World and the carnival type rides. And meeting all of the princesses was a dream come true!

 Disney California Adventure!

 Riding King Triton's merry go round

We got lucky and were about 10th in line to meet Olaf, Kristoff, and Anna and Elsa. Piper was a little nervous at first, but she was so excited to meet them all. She even told us that Elsa's hands were cold, which makes sense since that is where she makes all her ice magic.



We also got to meet Mickey and all of his friends, and Piper had them all sign her autograph book!



 Daisy was my favorite, she and Piper went for a little stroll!




It was my first time to California Adventure (it opened after I left CA) and it has some great rides! The Cars land was very well done and Radiator Springs Racers was one of the best rides there I thought. 

California Adventure had a night time show "World of Color", which uses water, lights, fire, and pieces of the different disney cartoons. It was very neat!


 On the submarine in Nemo's underwater adventure

The second day we were at the Magic Kingdom and had the chance to meet Cinderella, Ariel, and Snow White at the Royal Palace. Piper was prepared and wore her Cinderella outfit to match.



 She loved watching all the shows - Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel, and even Frozen!

 Aurora's castle with Papa and Gramma



 Meeting Captain Hook and Peter Pan with Papa

 Meeting Suzy the mouse with daddy

 Watching Mickey's Parade


 We watched Rapunzel and then Piper got to meet Rapunzel and Flynn Rider!


 Meeting Jasmine and Aladdin

 We were invited by Mickey and Minnie to have breakfast with him and his friends on the third morning!

 Piper loved the Mickey shaped waffles, muffins, and pancakes

 Got to spend time with Daisy and Minnie!

 Even Papa and Gramma got a picture with Minnie!

 Disney goes all out when decorating for holidays! They had just started putting up all the Halloween decorations, it was really neat!


 Alice's Tea Cups with Gramma

 On the storybook land boat ride

 Piper's favorite ride - It's a Small World

 Driving Pluto's car!

 Donald Duck!!

 Papa and Piper in Mickey Mouse's house!

 Me and my girl!


 In Pixie Hollow to meet...

 ...Tinkerbell (who was my favorite! She is really not a fan of Wendy)

 And Piper was so excited to finally meet Aurora by her wishing well



Tomorrowland at night

It was such a magical visit to Disneyland! Maybe in 4 more years we'll try Disneyworld! :)
