Friday Faves: Disneyland, sick kids, Pinterest finds

Friday FavesThere is something magical about Disneyland no matter how old you are. It is the sites, smells and smiles that are always adorning faces, but nothing is more magical than witnessing Disneyland at Christmastime. From the second you walk through the gate you are greeted with holiday music, decorations and smells of the season. It’s hard not to get into the holiday spirit when you are surrounded by such beauty.

My kids were in heaven! My son, age 3, was all about Pirates of the Caribbean and Peter Pan. We went on each ride multiple times a day. He loved seeing all of his favorite characters and his trip was made when he found Captain Hook and Peter Pan together. We went to a Disney Jr show in California adventures and he danced and sang along to Doc McStuffins, Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Princess Sophia. Totally worth the 30 minute puppet show.

My daughter, 14 months, just loved getting down and walking around. She was pleasant in lines if she could stretch her legs and move a bit. Her favorite rides were Dumbo, the Carousel and Small World. Probably the cutest thing was her constant waving and yelling “hi” to passers by.

I loved seeing the park embrace the holidays and catching simple holiday decorations in most rides. If you go during the holidays make sure to go on Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise and Small World because they change the entire ride for the season.

If being in the happiest place on earth wasn’t enough for you, try juggling sick kids at the start and end of the vacation. We are all completely exhausted and ready to get back to reality. I’m just grateful we were home for one of the sickies and not on the airplane for the other.
