Parish Family Trip- Part 1

The Happiest Place on Earth!!!

We spent last Monday and Tuesday at Disneyland. We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel and enjoyed being able to walk or take the Monorail into the park. It made things much easier. However, we got a sweet deal because it is "value season" so that made it worth it. I think it is usually $250 a night and I can't see how that would be worth it. The actual hotel isn't that spectacular, it's the proximity to everything that rocks.

Anyway, so Connor, of course, LOVED Disneyland. This year he was tall enough to go on Space Mountain (didn't like it), Thunder Mountain Railroad (LOVED IT, went on it about 10 times) and Splash Mountain (says that was his very favorite ride). I had to sit out on most of the rides because of the bean growing in my belly so that was kind of lame. But luckily my phone has internet access so I spent a lot of time perusing the internet while they stood in line.

I really expected the park to be a lot less busier than it was. I mean, it was certainly less crowded than last year when we went on Christmas, but there were still a lot of people and there were still lines on most of the rides (though 15-20 minute lines compared to last year's hour + long rides).
All in all, it was a great trip but we were ready to be done with Disneyland (well Dan and I were at least) and move on to phase two of our family vacation!

Part two to come...

Loves to all.
