We head out to Ihop once again for breakfast , and then pile into the van, my MIL is taking her's because she has to have her scooter. As We drive into the park the excitement i feel is overwhelming, i look at my kids i can see that there eyes are getting (a lil bit bigger) i think now in a way it is starting to hit them what they are truly in for . I do not remember anything that I see. It is truly amazing!
We pull into the Mickey and Friends parking garage and begin to unload the stroller, the kids are wearing there custom Iron on shirts with there names. Thanks so much Amy, (creative Dis-Sign boards Amy’s Design’s check it out) We pause for a few pictures while Lonnie is helping his mom get out her scooter
and we are ready to go to the tram Some very nice CM’s help get it on and our stroller (which we did not have to fold up)we just take Mayson out and we are off , Just the ride to the gates were enough for my kids , the grounds were decorated in halloween Decor ,
Mayson was in heaven with all of his characters right there
he kept calling out there names ,as if they were going to talk back to him(lil did he know )
we jump off the tram and Camden tells the C M thank you and it is his 1st time here and (my kids are known for chatting away with complete strangers (gosh don't they know about STRANGER DANGER) the Pixie Dust begins, He gets a special button that say’s 1st visit and is beaming and immediately needs to add to his lanyard.
(now normally this would incite a riot between my kids but surprisingly nothing was said ). I knew it was going to be a good day,
We go through the security check point and off to the ticket counter to pick up our tickets after a lil scare, she found them (note to self when you book 2 rooms they do your tickets separately under each room ).. That Cm was very nice too and with 5 plus endless thank you’s we were on our way , Now as we approach the entrance to
Disneyland everyone began’s to stare at us it seems we have lost one child I flip around in a panic to find my ds10 laying on the ground, He truly saw what was in store and he passed out (Playfully, I run over to him and he looks at me and we all just laugh) I tease him about walking or if he needed a scooter like Grandma’s!
Now can I just say that as I walked through the turnstiles and heard that magical sound it makes, I began to cry …one of the CM's stop us and tell me that i am a very special guest and that she needs my email address so i give it to her (wow i wonder what this is for ?) we get to the front and I immediately start picture taking
it is beautiful all decorated for Halloween i find the nearest photo pass photographer to take our picture , then on to city Hall for Lonnie
and the kids big surprise .
I walk in and once again I am greeted very nicely I tell the lady that I need the 1st visit buttons and a happy birthday Lonnie , she welcomes us to Disneyland (can i just say at this point i either look like i have a joker smile or my mascarra is smeared from all my Happy Tears.)
Outside I distribute the buttons and receive a ton of hugs and tons of thank yous
Then I hand Lonnie his and he just smiles at me.
we start to walk over to main street when a street performer stops us and say’s my kids are perfect for the pumpkin parade
(I look at dh and ask where is the camcorder he replies back in the car …. I just hit him in the arm and the show continues,
I decide to run into a shop really quick with my MIL because she is feeling left out on the pin trading, and sure enough I miss the most important part of the parade .
* Camden is chosen by the band conductor to lead the marching band
he makes them play super fast and then super slow, Luckily I gave the camera to DH and he could take some pictures
after the parade the band conductor gives Camden a official Disneyland band button .
Let’s just say Camden feels pretty special now, and is showing everyone that stops by to tell him he did a great job, after all the PAPARRAZI leave we head down main street and once again the tears begin ,at this time i can't help say a silent thank you to Mr Walt Disney for creating such a magical place
continuing on to the castle my kids are asking if they can ride all the rides that they see. i explain to camden and mayson that some are not for them but there is Plenty they can, Once again we stop for some more pictures
(Okay i know everyone has been awaiting to see what my MIL looks like and here you go
and begin our adventure as we walk through the stupendous castle which to me seems huge (but I am also a super huge sleeping beauty fan (so once again I am crying) Our destination was to ride it’s a small world because it was going to be closed the rest of our trip and i definately do not want to miss out on that ride, we get over there and guess what? it has already closed. Oh well we decide that we are going to head on over to ToonTown My Mil is complaining already about her scooter not having enough charge (it has been sitting in her car for 3 days I wonder why)
So Lonnie tells her to go rent one from them , after she grumbles about us not going with her she finally heads out and we head for toon town our 1st ride is Roger Rabbit the wait sign say’s 15 min’s but that is just to walk through, after the adventure we stop for some more family pictures
The wind is blowing a lil bit and there is the smell of burnt ash so the kids are having a hard time but are still pretty excited, we head on over to see Mickey for Mayson which by this time my lil guy is just a laughing a mile a min and his eyes are as big as golf balls.. we wait 10 mins to see the mouse and as we enter the door Mayson screams M_I_C_K_E_Y who is taking a picture with a family and mickey turns to look at Mayson right as the camera flashes..
I apologize profusely and we all just laugh. Autograph books are signed and pictures are taken hugs to Mickey
and then I jump in for my 1st picture with Mickey and the tears begin to pour out again
I get a huge hug from Mickey, Mayson kisses him on his nose and out we go i take Jayedyn through Minnie's house
and then out to meet grandma who is know where in site, while waiting I take the kids on the Go Go coaster which scares Jayedyn to tears Her 1st roller coaster ever. The boys love it but admit they were a lil scared. We just keep encouraging Jayedyn to face her fears with her family( what better place to do that but Disneyland)
We are still waiting for Grandma when Pluto takes Mayson with him.... only here would you let someone take off with your kid and just look and smile , Mayson is screaming puto, puto and barking like a dog. so we all walk over to the chosen spot in front of goofy's house my kids are standing in a line waititing to have there autograph books signed of course i should rephrase (sort of) but they keep letting a ton of lilttle kids in front of them they are so polite,
meanwhile Pluto is still taking pictures and signing autographs with Mayson next to him(Sorry for those who have a picture of my son in it isn't he just adorable )My son is so small you can't even see him in this picture
I finally had to say Okay Pluto we got to go although i did not want to. Mayson kisses him on his nose and off we go,
By this time there is still no MIL , so i call her on her cell , i can here her having a (lil bit) of a disagreement with someone and it ends up with a 7 letter curse word , she is standing in line for some food and somebody has gotten in front of her
she ends up rambling on to me none the less and i finally tell her to eat, we ask the kids where they want to go next and they say the rocket ships ( TommorowLand) she see's pluto and heads over to him and yells i mean yells for us to go over there she is screaming that she is holding a spot for us, all of us look at each other and smile so not to hurt her feelings we head back over to see pluto and she snaps a few pictures (I find that you get caught up in every moment you almost forget to take pictures ) with that done we make our way over to tommorowland making a stop at king Authur's carousel i wait back because by this time Mayson is napping
which i am okay with because he got to see his MICKEY
After the Carousel we wrap back around and ride the Tea Cups
and The MatterHorn The kids loved it and the rider swap was awesome . and yes i was teary eyed once again , after the dizzyness wore off from both of the rides , it was on to get some lunch at the Tommorowland Terrace while waiting there was a jedi Training show ending so we watched and when Darth Vader came out it scared Mayson a bit, so instead of taking pictures i was comforting him ,but he was fine after a couple of minutes, after a delicious lunch of cheeseburgers and PB&J sandwhiches it was on to ride the Astro Orbitor it was Kj,Logan and Jayedyn and me ,mayson and Camden and he thought it would be a ton of fun to stay up in the air for the whole time i am gonna admit that i thought i was going to fall out it was a lil' scary but a ton of fun Now upon exiting that ride there is no way to get out gracefully as i was helping camden out let's just say i almost face planted into the ground with mayson in tow. after that lil adventure we headed on to space Mountain, i hung back with mayson and camden when they came out it was me and Camden taking on the mountain He was a lil scared and because i had no idea what to expect i could not comfort him but i told him it was gonna be fast and a blast, Needless to say outside there was a bet being made that camden would come off the ride and be in tears and scared out of his mind but Big sis stood up for him and she won the pot $ 1.00 (we are heavy high stakers) then on to Buzz Lightyear astro blasters everything was happening so fast it was overwhelming and then it was over , we emailed our pictures and then on to Star Tours and once again because we did the rider swap we got to go through the back entrance which camden thought was a ton of fun. we decided to take it a lil slow after that and Darling MIL had to go smoke so we waited for her and made plans tackle dumbo
) Can't wait for you to get to the park!
I used to be really good friends with this girl when I was at school we shared room together on a school excursion and she just kept talking non-stop, and I mean non stop. It would be 2am and I'd be just falling asleep and she'd ask quite loudly "Are you falling asleep?? Did you hear what I just said?" and if I pretended that I was asleep and just didn't answer her, she's shake me so I wouldn't miss what she had to say... 
I think I would have been strongly tempted to request a separate hotel room for MIL. You are a saint!
can't really concentrate when i am exhausted . Thanks for all the patient waiting love ya guys
so very calmly, he tells her to wait for us by the tram and we will turn everything in and get her scooter which they were nice enough to charge , so while dh is doing this i pose again with the kiddos for some more photo pass pics 
but my MIL has heartburn so bad she would put Pete's Dragon to shame ,
she is rambling on just as i am swallowing my Estrogen pill.
Tommorow is Universal studios day, I am super excited because i get to see SpongeBob.
grab her soda grab one for me(yuck Diet Coke ) (because by this time i have a huge migraine,) head back upstairs ready to sleep but that is just not a option The closer i get the more i hear crying and pray that it is someone else's kid .. i walk in and Mayson is awake
