Disneyland

Disneyland and California Adventure for 3 days!  Two families - 4 adults and 7 kids!  Record High Temperatures to add to the fun!  We started off the adventure minus the Dad's in the morning because they had to work and travel to Disney.  Nicole and I managed 7 kids pretty good!  Uncle (My Cousin) Ron also met up with us for dinner time the first day.   Nicole and her family have done Disney a few times in the last couple years so we learned some good tips from them. One tip was to bring in your own water and snacks despite the fact that Disney says no outside food. The other tip was get a rented stroller for the bigger kids, which we did for Noah on the second and third day.   We had a great time.  We got to see Fantasmic and World of Color and they were both super neat.  Andrew and Joshua loved Tower of Terror and California Screamin the best.   We all really loved Space Mountain and Splash Mountain.   Kate, Nicole, and Uncle Ron stayed at Disney till it closed the first night which was midnight.   We did not make it that late any of the nights but sure tried!  We also did the Grizzly ride a lot since it was so hot the days we were there.   We were super thankful to Auntie Nicole for getting up and to California Adventure  early to get fast passes for the new Cars Radiator Springs ride.   We managed to go a couple of times since we had little ones that could not go on and got "swap pass" so those waiting with the little ones could go on.   We stayed at a near by hotel that worked out great.   We took a shuttle to the parks each day from the hotel.  Our hotel included breakfast so we filled up before getting on the shuttle.   WE had a great time a Disney with the Scott family and can't wait to do it again!!!!

Seth and Jillian were too little for Star Tours so I waited with them and had snacks.  This is what these two did a lot of the time at Disney.

This was a stroller my sister was given (used) a few years back.  It had some trouble with the wheels starting the first day but lasted until about a hour before we left on the third day.  It was left behind at Disney.
