We woke up early and headed to Disneyland and got a tip from one of our friends who has an annual pass that you can ride the monorail straight into Disneyland and can avoid lines with your pass. So we tried it out and it was great, it dropped us off in Tomorrow land where we went on "Finding Nemo" for our first ride of the day and we were almost first in line by doing it that way. The kids loved the ride and we were all in great moods due to the warm sunshine.
Next Beckham and I stood in line for Pixie Hollow to meet the fairies while Chris and Brooklyn went on the Matterhorn. I was surprised Brooklyn went on it, it's amazing what Daddy's can get their kids to do. She really like it, especially seeing the snow monster. They got off that ride and came back in line with Beckham and I just in time to meet Rosetta in Pixie Hollow. Brooklyn was so excited to meet the fairy who had hair the same as her. We also got to meet Tinkerbell, it was really fun. I was hoping there was a little more to it than meeting two fairies but it was still fun and we didn't stand in line for too long.
The next thing we did was explore Fantasyland. We went on Alice in Wonderland, the Teacups, Mr. Toad's wild ride, Snow White, and Pinnochio.
We then went to Frontierland and on our way saw Woody and Jessie, the kids were so excited!! They both love Toy Story. We went to Santa's Reindeer Roundup after that where the kids got to see real reindeer, meet Mrs. Claus and then go into a cute little cabin they had for Santa. Brooklyn was excited to sit on Santa's lap and tell him that she wanted Littlest Pet Shop toys, Beckham did not even want to be next to him. Oh well, we got a cute picture of Brooklyn with Santa and enjoyed the fun decorations and seeing Pluto dressed up like a reindeer, the kids got a kick out of that.
Then our friends met up with us and we went back to Fantasyland and because they had a handicapped pass we got on Peter Pan really quick, which was nice because that line is always long. Brooklyn and Beckham loved Peter Pan! Then we used the pass to get on Dumbo instead of standing in that insane line. The kids loved that too! Avery, Emma, Brooklyn and Beckham had a blast running around Disneyland together. They held hands and took pictures of each other and shared the same love that our kids had of the Haunted Mansion. All the kids loved Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas. The Haunted Mansion was the favorite ride between all of them. So we went on that a few times before watching the Christmas parade. The kids all loved the Christmas parade, it was so fun. All the characters, plus dancing snowmen, snowflakes, reindeer and Santa! Beckham almost ran out there a couple of times because he was so excited to see Tigger and Pooh and then Woody and Buzz. It was a lot of fun.
We decided after the parade to go on It's a Small World. The day before there was so much water in the boats that it was not very fun as our feet were soaked and then sat in an inch or tow of water. It was much more pleasant this time and we got off the ride right in time to hear the countdown to the nightly Christmas lighting of It's a Small World. It was so beautiful and fun to see!
We then went to get some dinner and while eating we watched the fireworks over the castle. They were so beautiful with the Christmas/Disney music set to them. Very magical. The kids both fell asleep and we headed back to the condo to rest and to get ready for another funfilled Disney day the next day.
