While we were waiting for them to open. Ryan, Makayla & Uncle Alan.
Auntie Som, Mommy & our two little Snow White Princesses! I usually don't dress them up for Disneyland but today was a special occasion. We're going to Ariel's Grotto for lunch, a special restaurant for all the Princesses! But first we headed to ride the new Toy Story ride. The line was pretty long for 1st thing in the am. Seems like everyone had our same idea. But boy was it worth it! I think Auntie Helen wanted to ride it again!
Here we are on California's Screamin'. Makayla wanted to ride this so bad. Too bad she's too small. It's going to be awhile until she rides this one. So she just waited and watched us take off right here! It was so cute her waving at us before we launched off! It was so much fun to be on a big kid ride!
After the roller coaster it was perfect timing to make it over to Ariel's Grotto for our lunch reservations. We took this opportunity to celebrate Mylee's 1st birthday a little early. Plus we've been wanting the moms to experience Ariel's Grotto with us. As we enter the girls go to take pictures with Ariel and get her autograph. Surprisingly Mylee was happy for it! She's not usually this happy with strangers but we were lucky today!
We've now been seated and ready for our fancy lunch! They started with a 3-tiered appetizer platter which was pretty good and fancy looking! Just fit for our Princesses! During lunch the Princesses all came by to visit our girls and take pictures with them and sign their autograph books. Too bad birthday girl Mylee ended up falling asleep through it all. I guess it's been a busy morning and she was pooped. Oh well, I'm sure there will be another time. But big sis Makayla loved it all, every single Princess that came to see her!
On our way out we were able to get a family picture. Mylee woke up just in time for it but still groggy and rubbing her eyes. So we were not able to get her face to look up in this one. It's still a nice photo with the whole family though.
I had to change the girls after the Grotto into something more comfy and cooler. Here's Mylee and her Daddy. Isn't she so cute in that hat?! He's wearing her red, white and blue for Memorial Day and so is big sis. This outfit was Makayla's when she was a baby. There's been great hand-me-downs! We're waiting in line for the Aladdin Show which is fantastic! If you haven't seen it you need to! It's as good as a Broadway show. Everyone enjoyed it! Then we got to ride another big kid ride, Tower of Terror. Again, my little Makayla was sad, but she seems to understand since we usually just ride her rides only.
We can't believe we stayed all day! There were lots more rides but I won't bore you with more. Here we all are waiting for the parade. It was great and we're so glad we stayed for it to end our day. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, now for dinner and we're calling it a day! What a great Memorial Day! Not our usual, since we usually just have a family BBQ. This was lots more fun but too bad we missed the Grandpa's, they are just not into the lines and crowds so it's probably better that they stayed home for this one.
