Disneyland 2015-Ashby 10, Dalton 8, Brooks 4, Ryder 3.  We had a great time at Disneyland this year.  It was the first time we took our whole family (all 4 kids!).  It was exhausting but a lot of fun.  We made some great family memories we will cherish for a long time.  Some of our favorites were, Cars land, meeting the characters, Downtown Disney, Splash Mountain, Toy Story Mania, and the Carnation Café.

Ryder loved meeting Donald Duck.  He wanted to meet him all by himself, not with his brothers and sister.  So cute.  He loved meeting all the characters the most.  It was one of his favorite things.  It didn’t matter if he had to wait in line he still wanted to meet every character we saw.  He is at such a fun age.

We had to get these cute matching Minnie Mouse ears.  I sure love my girl!

Jedi Training.  Ashby was picked again(she is 100%)! Brooks was too scared to do it, and Ryder was crying because he was too young to participate!  Classic!  We had fun watching the show and seeing Ashby fight Darth Maul.

We always love the parades!  Ryder was obsessed with people waving to him.  He was waving the whole time and every time they waved back he would say, “YES!” in the deepest, most excited voice ever.  It was hilarious.  He was pretty much delirious at this point from no naps.  All the other kids really loved seeing all the floats and characters so close up.  We had to stake out our seats for the parade about 2 hours early, so crazy!

Ryan took the boys home for bedtime and me and Ashby went to World of Color and Fireworks in Disneyland.  We loved it!  It was so nice spending some quality time with my girl.

We love Cars land!!  We were able to get Fast Passes and ride Radiator Racers twice.  Loved it!  Definitely one of our favorites.

We flew out early in the morning.  Everyone did great on the flight.  Thank goodness for electronics. Winking smile

We saw the movie Big Hero 6 in Downtown Disney before our first day in the park.  We all loved it.

The Lego store is one of our favorites!  The boys are OBSESSED with all things Lego!  Ryder actually carried his Lego set we got him in his hands the whole 4 days we were at Disneyland.  No joke.  It was a miracle it arrived in one piece when we finally got home to build it.

We ate at the Rain Forest Café our first day there.  It was sooo yummy!  We love it there.  The atmosphere is so fun for kids.  We got there at the perfect time.  There was no wait and we got a great table right by the Elephants.

We stayed at the Desert Inn Suites this trip.  It was nice and really close walking distance to the park (probably 5 min) to the entrance of Disneyland.  It worked out perfect with the suite because it had 2 rooms so we were easily able to fit our family without feeling squished.  Plus it was reasonably priced which is always a bonus when taking a family of 6!
