Holiday Disneyland For Real

In the interest of getting the most out of our annual passes this year, we have decided to celebrate everyone’s birthday at Disneyland.  With Hannah we weren’t able to go until a couple weeks later, but we went for an evening and she got to pick the rides we went on and then we had dinner.  Here are some pictures:

Our first stop was California Adventure to try out Toy Story Mania for the first time… and take some pictures by the giant Christmas tree.

We waited in line for a half hour to get this picture with Tinkerbell. Cute, but Pixie Hollow was a bit of a let down.

It’s a Small World reopened Christmas style and was worth the trip to Disneyland on it’s own!  This ride has been closed for a while so the boats could be reworked.  Apparently they were bottoming out with the growing size of Americans.

A birthday bucket can be purchased at a few of the restaraunts and inside are the mickey toy, stickers, and a little pin.

Everyone wanted to get some of the little cake that also came with the birthday bucket!

We also toured Sleeping Beauty’s castle for the first time, rode the tea cups (except for me – this is the one ride I can’t handle) and Snow White’s Scary Adventure (For some reason Hannah loves this scary kiddie ride). Fun stuff!

    Yay, Disneyland! I love the new Toy Story Mania thing. Lots of action, and Mr. Potato Head is hilarious.
