Before children I went and it was fun, but now seeing it all over again through my kids' eyes is amazing. Noah LOVED everything except for the dark tunnels (on the kiddy rides) and the fireworks. He thought they were going to come down and get him. His favorites were the trains, race cars, and boats. Shocker! Lauren danced and smiled the entire time through "It's a small world". I was even able to sneak away and ride on the big kid rides. My faves are Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, Pirates and Star Tours. And the parade was truly magical. I even got giddy! Noah was super excited when it (fake) snowed and Lauren watched every minute of it. I just stared at both of them as they took everything in. What a gift!
At first I thought it may be a little much taking them but Noah did great all day, Lauren took two naps in her stroller and we stayed from dusk till dawn. I guess it really is the happiest place on earth!
Before leaving the park I stopped to take it all in. So many old memories came to mind, but I am thrilled to start new ones for my family and I. The chill in the air, smell of yummy treats, sparkles from the millions of lights, Mickey Mouse ears everywhere, and of course the charm of Main Street made for an unforgettable trip. Goodnight Disneyland..until next year...
