Disneyland - Part II

In no particular order, here are some photos from our wonderful few days at Disneyland! I have to admit, I was skeptical about the Disney experience, thinking it would be gaudy, in-your-face marketing, but I was wrong. Yes, there are a million places to buy Disney paraphernalia, but the whole concept of Disneyland is just so impressive, appealing to adults and children alike. I was won over immediately (and not just by the Pirates Suite!).

Nana & Julia in the princess outfit that G-da got her (you can tell which photos are from the first day because that was the only day she didn't wear her princess dress)


"Hey, Mickey? Yep, I'm here in Disneyland. Where are you?"
(Liam's new favorite past time...talking on the 'phone')


Playing the steel drums in Tarzan's Treehouse

"But mom, it's a lot quicker if you just crawl under this pesky ole rope"
Liam didn't understand the concept of waiting in line

The lines weren't actually all that bad, and with lots to look at Julia didn't usually mind the wait

Waiting with sleeping Liam

Except for the scary tunnel filled with giant dinosaurs, the train that went around the whole perimeter of the park was great fun!

Mesmerized by Playhouse Disney- Live .... best thing we did! Both children absolutely loved the show!

The children weren't the only ones excited by the candy shop!
