Disneyland: Day 3

Our final day of Disneyland, we opened & closed the park. The weather was perfect and everyone remained happy all day long. Disneyland tends to do that to people. Not to mention Brad got to see his crush...he's more obsessed with Elsa than a 4 year old little girl. 



The rides in France were Bea-U-tiful!!! It's like they added a little extra sprinkle of Paris charm to everything. I normally hate the Teacup ride but, how can you deny that charming ride a spin of the cup!? So pretty. 



Fantasyland has 'Alice's Curious Labyrinth' ... a wild maze with all sorts of fun Alice in Wonderland characters to discover along the way. Brad joined the caterpillar in his hookah games...




The view from the top of the Queen's Castle was just happy. Oh, D-Land...I miss you! 


We wandered back through the park, stopping on occasion to window shop & for photo-ops. We were heading over to the Walt Disney Studios park so I could ride the Aerosmith ride (crazy fast and loud...maybe I'm getting old?) and I think Brad might have done Tower of Terror again? Then we caught the parade they had, whilst snacking on ice cream. 






I was super happy with this picture that a guy took. He went to great lengths (laying on the ground!) to get us and the castle all in the picture. I couldn't have done better myself! Thank you, Mr. Asian Man! 





The rest of the afternoon was spent in Disneyland where we saw a few characters in passing & one super cute TinkerBell window display: 



We somehow timed it just right that we were able to see the parade in Disneyland too...whilst snacking on more sugar. Hey - it's Disneyland! ;) 




Apparently, restaurants close at 6:00pm there? Which is totally bizarre because most normal humans, eat dinner around that time. We were able to grab food at this restaurant and then watched them close up the doors. We got there in the knick of time! So weird... 

The rest of our time was spend shopping, wandering and catching rides that had really short lines. We were sticking around for the firework show they do each night. It was well worth the wait. 



This storefront was so darling! 




Dad whooped our butts at the Buzz Lightyear ride...his job training must be paying off! 







So fun, wonderful, magical & happy. Disneyland is one of our favorite places and we loved creating, the first of many, memories there as a family! Can't wait until our next adventure at Disneyland!!
