This trip was supposed to be a big trip for my DH and mine’s 10th Wedding anniversary (Paris, Greece, a Cruise on the Mediterranean, Europe, etc). We went to WDW for our 5th so wanted go bigger for out 10th.
Instead an adorable baby boy joined our family on June 18, 2014.
Welcome Baby Jeffrey Aaron Jr.
So we decided hey let’s go back to WDW and drive (since flying as a family of 6 was out of the budget!!!) After numerous months of planning, hotel booked, dining reservations made, FP+ made, etc we decided to visit my parent’s in Oregon (a mere 6 hour drive one way). Let’s just say the drive up was awesome!!!! All the kids did great but the drive home was fine until the LAST 2 HOURS!!!!!!!! Baby Jeffrey (3 months old at the time) was DONE with his car seat and no matter what we did he was not a happy baby!!! So our plans changed!!! Let’s go back to DISNEYLAND!!!! We know both those parks like the back of our hands, the hotel we stay at is within walking distance and it’s only a 6 ½ hour drive instead off a 2+ day drive!!!!
Before I get any farther ahead let me introduce my crazy family.
First up is me, I’m Sandra. I’m a stay at home mom to my 4 kiddos, Jeremy – 7, Sarah – 6, James – 4 and Baby Jeffrey – 9 months. I’m the Disney lover in our family and I’m raising my kids to love Disney just as much as I do. My favorite rides would have to be any that I can ride with my kids! I actually have 2 favorite characters and they are Mickey and Cinderella.
Next up is Jeremy. He is 7. He is also a huge fan of anything Disney. His favorite character is Captain Hook and his favorite ride is the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness aka Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Then there is my 6 year old Princess Sarah. She is the princess lover in the family. Now don’t get me wrong both my husband and I don’t mind seeing the Princess’ but my daughter goes absolutely crazy when she gets to see them. Her favorite character of course is Princess Belle and her favorite ride is It’s a Small World.
(On Mary Poppins horse at Disneyland.)
Now there is my 4 year old little boy James. His favorite characters would be Pooh and Mickey. He loves the Winnie the Pooh ride and It’s a Small World.
Then there is my DH Jeff. He isn’t as much of a Disney Lover as I am but knows he’s got to keep mommy happy so he gives into my obsession and he loves to spend the time with our kids. His favorite rides would be Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain and Splash Mountain.

So there you have it. My crazy Disney Family. Since DH’s and my first trip together we’ve been to Disneyland 19 times (counting this trip), WDW once and Disneyland Paris once. My kids have been very lucky (and spoiled) with being able to go at least once every year since they were 5 weeks old (Jeremy) or 3 months old (Sarah and James). So on with our fun filled trip to Walt Disney Wor….. Oh wait I mean DISNEYLAND!!!!!
