Disneyland Birthday Trip: Day 1


 We just got back from a fabulous 5 day/ 4 night trip to Disneyland.  We went to celebrate Maggie's birthday and my birthday.  We had an amazing and magical time!


The first day we arrived we headed to Downtown Disney.  We took a stop in the Lego store and found this Hulk, all made out of Legos.


We also picked up some special birthday pins for the girls to wear while in Disneyland.   
The girls did a little gift shopping in Downtown Disney and found exactly what they were looking for...a Rapunzel jewelry box that plays music...
...and a giant lollipop!
 On our first full day at Disneyland we showed up at the park gates by 7:30 am.  Once the park opened at 8:00 am we took advantage of the low-crowds and cool weather and did a ton of big rides such as Space Mountain, Star Tours, Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion.  Maggie LOVED Haunted Mansion and wanted to keep going on the ride.  In total we went on Haunted Mansion at least 6 times during our trip.
Kate got to meet Princess Tiana (Maggie didn't want to meet her).
Maggie and I stood on a long, hot line to ride Dumbo while Kate and Will rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad twice.

This was our very first time meeting Princess Jasmine, Aladdin and the Genie.

Splash Mountain...Maggie was super nervous to go on this ride, but Will kept her safe and secure and she liked it in the end.

At the end of our first day we had spent 12 straight hours in the park.  We were exhausted but it was a great start to our trip!
