Highlight of Disneyland...

Ta-daaaa!!! We stood in like for like and Hour and half for this stupid thing... stupid for me, and wonderful for Kelli. And you should of seen the line..... it wasn't that long... I don't know if people decided to sit down and talk with the princesses and about their experiences in the Disney films... but MAN! It took forever. Danny and walked Josie back to the hotel and I stayed with Kelli, since I missed out on a lot of rides, and shows with her. (not to mention, he took the double stroller, and left me with Kelli and a backpack.. and Kelli's legs were "too tired" to walk.. so I walked through the whole park and to the hotel carrying her.... lol) But man, once it was our turn and we turned the corner and saw BELLE standing there in her beautiful dress I think Kelli was so stunned she didn't know if she should run and scream or just cry. She was so excited. She told her about her favorite rides, food, gymnastics, dance... all sorts of things.


Belle and Cinderella were definatly the Hits of the whole thing... Mulan? Really?? I mean she watches the movie and knows who she is but... she's not even a princess... haha. I had my fingers crossed that Sleeping Beauty would be there.. but the stars dont ALWAYS align. But Kelli was just as excited about getting to meet them....
I tell you what though, that Disneyland... they are pretty tricky, and freakin' smart... they have like a beauty salon for toddlers right after they meet the princesses... so they can get their face painted and get make up on and stuff.... buy dresses, dolls... all sorts of things... its like the end of the world after such a wonderful experience, cause now all the adults are prying their children away from the Salon.... darn you Disneyland!

ps: Since we were at Disneyland for 5 days, we learned the ropes and the tricks, and we were able to have 2 nights where Dannys parents watched the kids, after we put them to bed, and all the "big kids'' got to go back and go on some rides... first of all, after pushing that stroller all day... you can walk so much faster! Its unreal, Danny and I were like running cause we still had the momentum from earlier. It was so much fun and on the final night, we were able to go on Splash Mountain like 6 times in a row... there weren't any lines close to closing time. So they let us all stay on the log, and continue on. It was such a blast! Thanks Ross and Nancy for such a great experience. We'll never forget it.
