A few days in Paradise

Our trip so far has been amazing. The kids woke up early and reasonably happy on the 4th so we could catch our flight. Lucy woke up with a smile and said, "it's May 4th! I didn't even open my eyes one time through the night." We loaded up our vehicle and headed to the airport. The kids had a hard time waiting through the lines to get on the plane, but once they were boarding, they had a blast. Lucy loved sitting by the window and watching the mountains and clouds go by. Westjet had satellite TV and the kids watched Treehouse almost the entire flight and ate snacks. When we arrived in Los Angeles, we met up with Grandma, Papa, Sarah and Janeen and took a Limo to the hotel in Anaheim. Tyler had discovered that it was the cheapest way to get 8 people from LA to Anaheim. It was fun, and relaxing to have someone else drive us. We checked into the hotel, got a bite to eat, and then headed to the park. We were greeted right away by a few characters. Mickey and Minnie. Lucy and Max had been saying for days how much they wanted to see those two, and were happy to meet them right off. We've gone on tons of rides, met lots of characters, and mostly been amazed at the beauty of the park. Every single ride we go on is an amazing experience. The people are so friendly, and the rides are so authentic. Even the line-ups are made to capture you into the experience.
The highlight for Lucy so far was going to the Fantasy Faire to meet princesses. She waited in line to meet Belle, Sleeping Beauty and Pocahontas. Each girl is only allowed to meet 3 princesses. While Lucy was speaking with Pocahontas, Cinderella walked in and Lucy walked in a daze towards her. Pocahontas was very accommodating and moved out of the way so Lucy was able to meet her. Lucy had previously gone to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique and got a princess dress and accessories, (Snow White) and each of the princesses she met said she looked just like one of their friends.
The highlight for Max was the Pixar Parade which was lead by Lightening McQueen. He was able to watch Flick and the Bug's life creatures, The Incredibles, Buzz and Woody, Nemo and Dori and the parade was closed off by Mater.
Everyday is magical and has been really fun. It's been hot hot hot, and the kids are exhausted with each day, but still in good spirits. I'm sure we have many more adventures to come. This place is made for 4-year old princesses!
