ok so Im going to try to be as detailed as possible here. We got to anahiem on the 12th checked into the hotel and crashed out for the night.
The kids were up at 730 and we made it to disneyland at 8:00 in the morning. Supprisingly sunday was the least crowded day of our trip. we picked up first trip buttons for the kids and DH and a birthday button for DD#1. as we were walking back out of city hall we were met by the queen of hearts. DD # 1 did not get REALly excited until we got to the castle. She turned around and said NOW were at disneyland!!! I will admit i was just about in tears watching how excited they got. The first ride we rode was snow whites adventure. Then we went on to Peter pan. We rode dumbo four times in a row and it was such a favorite that we finished each night with it. We went from fantasyland to toontown and rode gadgets go coaster and rodger rabbit. We had lunch at plutos dog house and as we were eating pluto came out of their town hall. The girls were so excited to see the characters and ran right up to hug him. After lunch we headed back to the Hotel to rest. I really lovedthe kids suite because each kid had their own bed and we were able to close the door to their room and keep the TV on and get ready for going back to the parks. The kids all napped for almost three hours and we headed back to the parks. We rode thunder mountian ( the girls LOVED it) and pirates. I know we got in more rides that day but i couldnt tell you what. While we were eating supper the parade went by and the kids got SO excited that we madethe parade priority the next day. We rode the matterhorn and watched the fireworks that night. I will continue on with the other days as soon as i can

Monday we had the girls appointments to go to the bibbity bobbity boutique. They had such a GREAT time becoming little princesses. and it was SO worth it. While my mom and i were doing that with the girls my dad and DH brought DS on a few of the rides in fantasyland. After that we did the sleeping beauty castle walk trhough and a few more rides. We went to the thunderranch bbq for lunch and OH MAN was it good. The kids just about ate their weight in food. We went back to the hotel for a reast aftter lunch ad on our way back we ran into mary poppins and bert doing a show at the hub. we stopped to watch and the girls got included in the show. after we got back we went to california adventure for awhile and did all the rides in bugs land in less that an hour. the kids LOVED them and we did the chew chew train 4 times in a row. We headed back to disney where my parents had saved spots for the parade. The girls got included in the parade and had such a great time and the baby giggled through the whole thing. I really loved it. we ended up watching the fireworks again that night this time from in front of the castle. after that we rode more of the fantasyland rides and went over and did the jungle cruise, pirates again and ended the night with dumbo.
