Disneyland

I wonder just how many times I could go through our blog and see just how many posts I have aobut Disneyland? This summer Aaron and I renewed our passes and are determined to get our money's worth. Shouldn't be that hard since a ticket is over $100.

An ASU Softball Alum was coming out to the OC and Lancaster, and we decided to meet at the Happiest Place on Earth. I had only seen pictures of Kaitlin and Hunter, and we were so happy to meet them.

Jeffrey wasted no time talking to her and making friends with Murph and Ryan. Alexis was her 'charming' self. It was so cool to hang out once again. I really do miss all the girls from ASU - all sports.

After we left Murph we were on our own. We did the tea cups, played around and my sister and Bear were so cool and brought us dinner.

Day 2 began bright and early for us. It was our family goal to get to Star Tours. For those that don't know, Star Tours recently opened up. Disneyland opened up at 8:00. We got there at 8:25 and the line was already 1 hr, 40min. The line to get a fastpass was 15min. It was pure madness. We got there, got our passes and split up. We went with my mother-in-law, and sister-in-law and family, so Aaron and Jeff and crew went on Space Mountain. Lexi and I hit Dumbo. Jeff came back completely jazzed. Alexis loved having her Mommy and Me time. While they went on one ride, Alexis and I hit three. She had a major turning point in her life... she wanted to take a picture with the characters. I got pictures of her with various characters, but Eeyore was her favorite.

We went over to California Adventure and got Fastpasses for Soarin' Over California, and let the kids get wet. Jeffrey also had the chance to see his Cars Heroes ~ Lightning McQueen & Mater.

After a little lunch we went back to ride Star Tours and let me tell you, it was well worth getting up early and getting a pass for. We also sat down and got our seats for the Jedi Training Academy. We had seen it once before, but Jeff did not get picked. And this time whadayaknow... Jeffrey got picked to be a Padawon! He went through his training and got his chance at Darth Vader. He was on Cloud 9!

We ended the day at the parade. I liked it! The had all the characters and it turned out to be pretty cool. The kids had a blast, and Aaron and I were exhausted by the end of the day. However, we did agree... we can't wait to go back.
