Ok here we go!!! ( I apologize in advance my mom and sis would not let me take food porn shots! They think its embarrassing)
Day 1
The trip started when my mom picked me up from my house and we headed to cambria's School to pick her up after her final exams.
Here is she is in class just after her test before school let out for the day

Thats right she did where here ears to school lol
After we picked her up we stopped for lunch at a local fave called slidn through

Then it was time to hit the road, us and all our friends...

we left at about noon and arrived at about 4:30

We had a reservation at the Carousel inn and met my nana in the parking lot before checking in. I really liked the hotel, I didnt care for the free breakfast but more on that later.

After settling in we decided to head to down town disney for a little shopping before our 7:30 Dinner reservation at Goofy's Kitchen. We walked through the esplanade to get to DTD

Cambria did the most shopping she has never spent a whole lot of time in DTD and enjoyed the experience soon it was dinner time and we checked in for our ressie.

I feel like the food could have been better, it was good, but I feel like the breakfast has more variety. I did very much enjoy the taste of everything I ate though. We were sat in a back corner and that seemed to me the characters take forever to get to you and when they do they all come at the same time here is who we saw.

(just a warning, Cambria and I think this Aladdin has a pretty odd smile...It kind of looks photo shopped on I cant really explain it...)

They brought cambria a cupcake for her birthday

she allowed me a taste it was pretty delcious

After Dinner we got some coffee and tea said good bye to my nana and headed back to our room to get a good night sleep before our big first day in the land.

day 2
We awoke bright and early this morning and was at Disneyland for opening, we first picked up our tickets for Fantasmik Dessert before letting Cambria choose the first ride she choose Indy

We first fast passed it intending on riding it twice and then got into the stand by line we waited about 20 minutes before the ride shut down, we waited another 15 and it was up again we made it all the way to the bottom of the stairs and requested the driver seat annnnd it shut down again. We were escorted to the exit we had to walk through the ride vehicles, but we were given a fast pass good on our choice of ride so that was cool. We decided to head over to tommrow land and rode space mountian and then Buzz lightyear

We fast passed Star tours and headed back to indy to see if it was open we were hoping to get to use our orginal fast pass and be able to use the choice one on something else.

it was running at this point so away we went on our adventure, next up we rode one of my personal favorites the Jungle cruise

Then we headed back over to tomorrow land for our star tours fast pass

My mom was the rebel spy!!! I was SOOO excited like 5 times more excited then she was lol
After that we decided to take a break from our adventuring and went for a visit with the princesses. We started with the royal walk

I know it shouldn't bother me because they are not my kids, but sometimes when I see kids misbehave and the parent like encourages it it drives me bonkers! While in line for the princesses there was a mom infront of us apparently alone, when we got pretty close to the front she started screaming at the top of her lungs for her daughter who was apparently watching the show. They went in they held us for a minute and then we went in. When we got to Cinderella they were not done with there interaction and we had to wait for them. This little girl was one of the biggest brats Ive ever seen! Cinderella was trying so hard to be nice and you know cinderellay and this little girl was just shooting her down, it started when Cindy asked if they were twins because the little girl (who looked older then 9 to me but w/e) was wearing a light blue costume, it was from Tim Burtons Alice in wonderland. The little girl said WE CERTAINLY ARE NOT TWINS Cindy tried a diffrent tactic and said something about well you are a lovely princess anyway to which the girl was like I AM NOT A PRINCESS EWW! it went on like that for a painful 5 minutes and finally ended when after the photo was taken the girl started to walk away turned back and was like your hair is fake yellow, and Cindy graciously said oh did my fairy godmother put in to much yellow today? and the girl was like theres no such thing and then left her mom was laughing the whole time. I was just like why are you here?
Cambria on the other hand had a wonderful time interacting with Cindy and her favorite part was when Cindy said she liked where Cambria was keeping her slipper it looked like a safe place for it (on top of her hat)

Day 2 cont
We wanted to see the show, but it was a couple hours before the next one, so we headed over to Fantasyland to ride a few rides before hand. We started with peter pan using our choice fast pass

next we headed over to Snow white

After that we headed back to the fantasy fair got a snack and headed to the line for the show. I REALLY liked the Boysen apple slush it was very yummy

After the show which was pretty cute Bri wanted to do some more adventuring so we headed of to Pirates

Then we headed over to Haunted Mansion. Now Im not sure why, but Cambria REALLY can not tolerated flash pictures on mansion. She is really way laid back on the other rides, but mansion it really bugs her so of course somebody was doing it and she yelled at them for once it worked though they actually listened

 

[Teki]

We then made the long walk over to critter country and on to winnie the pooh

We took the train from new orleans to Toon town Depot and fast passed roger rabbit before heading on to its a small world

we did a little shopping in toon town and then used our fast passes for Roger rabbit

Then we headed back to fantasy land for a ride on toady, the ride did something really weird while we were on it Cambria and I were in a car togther and in the middle of the hell scene it just stopped for entirely too long. It was even weirder for my mom she had just been "hit" by the train and was just sittin in the dark. It came back up though and away we went lol

we decided to try the matterhorn but the line was CRAZY so we headed in to tomorrow land because Cambria saw a sign that said Iron Man it was in side innoventions

 

[Teki]

After that it was dinner time we had a 6:30 reservation at Blue Bayou as usual it was delicious!

and then of course we had to take a spin on pirates

Then it was off to finish fantasy land

After that it was about 10:30 and we were tired! So we picked up some hot chocolate and headed back to our hotel room

 

[Teki]

Day 3
Wake up mom its Cars land today!

We woke up bright and early to head over to DCA for rope drop. We picked up some portable breakfast and lined up for fast passes.

We started with a spin on Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, Mater is one of my moms fave characters

Cambria wanted some pineapple so we stopped for a fruit snack

After that and some more cars land exploration we decided to head over to Soarin because our Cars fp was not yet up

Next up was Cambrias first ride on Mermaid she loved it

Then we headed back to Cars land and rode Louigys hoping it would kill enough time that our FPs would come up but no such luck so we snuck over to bugs land for a ride on the chew chew train. I can not explain our love for this ride. lol it just is.

Finally we were able to ride my new fave

I will end there for now I had my wisdome teeth out yesterday so Im just sitting around waiting for it to stop hurting and eating mushy foods today lol so Im sure Ill get some more up before the day is through!

 

[belle10]

This sounds awesome! It's making me more and more excited for my trip. Hope your mouth feels better

 

[Teki]

Ok so aparently I lied what i actually did instead of finishing this was sleep then life happened some more but I seem to have a minute now so I shall post so me more

Day 3 Cont.

So this was cambria's first run on RSR so of course it stopped at the very begining for about 3 mins! but then it worked the rest of the ride so it was all good
After that we were getting a bit pekish so we decided to grab some snacks and eat then while in line, Cambria wanted to ride Toys story Mania and my mom had never been on it so we split a chimechunga and an ear of corn and got in line

after playing the game Cambria and I went for a spin mom decided to sit this one out

after then we headed over to a personal favorite of Cambrias Monsters inc.

Then on to her second favorite Muppets

Here we are with our favorite wall

After the show we walked over to the animation building and went for a conversation with our favorite turtle followed by an art lesson

We drew piglet

Mine:

[Teki]

Next we found out what Disney characters we were

Next my mom suprised me by volunteering to ride tower of terror with me! Im still not sure if she really liked it but she rode it twice so she must lol

when we were done with our elevator ride Cambria was watching the parade. Aparently the exit for TOT is a great place to watch it since the floats come right out the big door there. When the parade had ended Cambria informed us she was hungry and we all decided flo's was something we needed to try so we migrated on over. Cambria was amused that the seats matched her ears. The food here was SOOO good MMMMM cant wait to go again.

Cambria and I were amused by the cans out side it reminded us of the movie the jerk!

from there we crossed the street and went for a dance with Louigys tires

After that it was time for world of color. We had regular fast passes this time I cant remeber what color we were in, but this was the first experience I had where I didnt get my pass from a restaurant or hotel and it wasnt great. I know that doing the fast pass system keeps people from having to sit for hours and hours like for fantasmik however they really really need to factor that people are going to line up early they just are and shoving them into a small line up area 30 minutes before is no bueno. There were several handicapped guests who brought there scooters(Im sorry I dont know the correct term is it ECV?) into this small roped off area and two diffrent people ran over my toes. After that they just kind of unleashed us into our area and people were running and pushing my mom was knocked to the floor and had a rather larget bruise on her knee the next day. When I stoped to help her up we were seperated from my sister who had been swept by the crowd. Eventually we got back togther and decided to risk getting wet and sit in the very very front it was fine, but lm begining to think there really is no good spot to view world of color it seems no matter where you sit theres part of the show thats fuzzy or blocked. ANYWAY on a cheerier note Cambria really enjoyed the show she said it was her fave part of the day. However Fantasmik is still my fave and she (at this point) had not yet seen that.

We had purchased Mickey bread at the bakery earlier and used some of it to make friends with this duck. We took pics of him on our phones and were pretty much entertained by his duck ways until the show started. We named him Fred.

After World of color ended we headed back to our hotel for a well deserved sleep.

Day 4

We decided to do a half and half day for our last day in the park. We had breakfast at the market next to our hotel (fruit and coffee) and then headed to DCA we decided to do rope drop to get on racers rather then fast pass so we got inline at the rope closet to Cars land when the rope drop pretty much everyone headed that way and then the line like stopped in the middle of cars land we couldnt figure out if we should go around the stop or if as I theroized they hadnt open racers yet and every one was stopped out side it. I was right and eventually we made it into the cue.

After we won our race we did Maters again

next up Its tough to be a bug

After that cambria wanted to do another ride throu monstropolis so we headed that direction when I over heard a cast member telling another guest that Sulley would be out at any second. So I pulled Cambria into the line and we got some of the cutest pics ever.

Then back on muppets

 

[Teki]

Last Cambria wanted to see the Aladdin show so she got in the show line while mom and I took a last spin on TOT Then we joined in. Cambria had bought us some pretzels I managed to finish mine before we headed in but Mom wasn't able to so she snuck it in and then very unsneakaly at it in the theater Cambria was so embarrassed lol.

after the show we headed over to Disneyland Where we went on the tiki room and had a Dole whip yum yum

Next we had lunch at Bengal BBQ and stopped for a pic with Aladdin

From there we wandered over to the Haunted Mansion

We then took the train over to Tomorrow land because I wanted another tour of the stars

We started to get cold so we headed to the locker stoping for some castle pics first.

and then straight back to Tomorrow land for Buzz Blasters

Next it was getting pretty close to when we wanted to be in line for our Fantasmik Seating reservation (your supposed to line up at 8 but I find that bing early is better so our goal was 7) we walked over to Pirates and got in line.

It took a little longer then we thought and there were a few families a head of us in line fore the dessert we got there aout 7:05 next time I will try and be there at 6:30 I think :-/

Here is my adorable little sister waiting excitedly

My mom offered to wait in the line if Cambria wanted to do an attraction so she and I went back on Haunted Mansion

after that we rejoined my mom and waited about a half hour. There werent any seats left in the front accept for one so we chose to have Cambria sit in that one seat and my mom and I sat behind her. Since it was her first time seeing this show and her special sweet 16 trip I felt it was important that she get the front. (it was dumb anyway because the couple next to her didnt evan watch the show they like made out the whole time they could have made out in the back row jeebus)

After choosing our seats we went to Critty country for an attempt at pooh.
but it broke and did not come back up until the show was almost starting so we just headed back up to see the show.

I can not tel you how much I love this Disneyland experience, the Chair is enough for me, but the dessert drinks and service are always awesome and the view is the best! Cambria loved it and said it was the highlight of the trip.

After the show we headed to Fantasyland for a few last attractions before calling the trip to an end.

And that someone ends our Trip report I do have a few images that were out of order (alot are from my moms phone) so they were not posted when they should have but I decided to include them here at the end.

Here is how Cambria felt about having to leave disneyland
