We went to Disneyland last Friday and it was a little colder than we like and a lot more crowded than we like but we still enjoyed ourselves. The boys love seeing the lights and it was fun to meet up with Papa and Mike. We got there, we had to wait in line in the parking structure! We decided to go to It's A Small World first. We got in line in front of the Toy Shoppe (for those you familiar with that area) toward Toon Town. I thought "no big deal, the arch way that normally starts the line is right there." Wrong. We looped up towards Matterhorn but we were only in line for 17 minutes and the boys love all the lights and the show that plays on the outside of It's A Small World. They love the Christmas songs that play during the ride (instead of the usual song, they have it decorated for Christmas).
We meet Papa and Mike outside the Castle, where they had saved some space for us to watch the firework show. I brought a blanket and some Chex Mix but we were told we were not allowed to sit down because we were technically in the street. The show was great until it was cut short because of wind. We went on Buzz and tried to go on Haunted Mansion but the line was way too long for us, so Papa and Mike headed home and we watched Fantasmic before we headed home. We LOVE Disneyland.
Oh, we are planning on going back the second week in Jan. for those interested, hopefully it won't be as crowded.
