I have no idea what is with the sun this entire trip, these poor kdis were squinting everywhere!

The parks today were waaayyy over filled. Like crazy overfilled. IT was like NYE all over again. Rides were 90 minutes wait etc... Anastasia went to get a single rider pass for calif. scream and they said no. that the park was too busy and they were not giving them out... hmmmm.
but nicholas saw the Carousel in Calif. adv... and well there was not stopping him!

We went over to Grizzly bear Rapids and we had gotten a FP for that time and scott and the girls go and also get a switch rider. While I was waiting with nicholas. we had a snack and a water. It was relaxing and it was so darn hot out, anywho.. the CM came over and said "you understand how that pass works right." I say "yep" and he says " just want to say that there is a lot of cheating going on lately and you should know you need to choose just one child to go on with you." I tell him " i get it, thanks". Now what the heck... was there a meeting somewhere that was cracking down on this... It brought back the day befores crap and it irritated me. So when they got back I took jojo and anastasia rode single rider.
At this point we realized to get some lunch and do some jedi training... We got there 45minutes early and got our spots. I made signs for the kids and they were ready. We got some yummy cheeseburgers and Chicken and sat and waited. Josephine held a sign that said "Pick my sister, she can do it!" with an arrow pointing to her. Well She got picked first!!! he said " I believe in your sisters faith in you!" He said jojo could go to, but she did not want to... Scott was sooo happy she was picked first and was happy she got to be on the stage and fight Darth Vader!
Here are the pics...

Saturday it was a hot day that was just frustrating with rude people and cm's everywhere refused to let us use our switch rider passes liek before riders were not allowed on most rides due to busy crowds. We were there on NYE and that was crazy busy and never had those problems!

Well I was tired and did not take any more pics that day. We went on a few more rides in DL and by 7 pm nicholas was grumpy and was done with the day. So I took him back to the hotel so I could pack and get ready for the drive in the morning. Scott stayed with the girls for another 3 hours at the Park.
The next morning Nicholas woke up with an awful case of pink eye and sadly had some bathroom issues. I will just leave it at that. It was a hard drive home with lots of stops......
 
Awww the kids all looked so adorable in their Chip & Dale outfits!!! You did an amazing job with all the customs!!!

Thank you so much. I enjoyed making most of them... some I bought but most I made... They had fun wearing them.

Awww well they looked so cute in all of them. I have not been to Disneyland in forever. I grew up in Southern California and used to go quite frequently. One of these days I should try to talk my DH into a CA visit. We still have some family and lots of friends there!

Thanks for sharing your vacation with us!!! When is your next trip?

Just a little fyi when we used to have to do the switch pass we would get fast passes at the same time so that the other kid could use a fast pass at the same time that way the person who had to sit out could go on the ride with one kid and the other kid could use a fast pass to go if that makes sense.

We have five in our group too and when my youngest couldn't ride that is how we did it. Hope that makes sense and maybe helps in the future. I can imagine how frustrating that must be.

Sorry your trip had some dissapointing moments. I know when rude cm or guests can make it not fun. And both my girls just came down with pink eye too after our soccer tournament and were out of school and entire week so I feel your pain. ((hugs)).

Your kids are adorable though and LOVE the outfits!! :)

I just read your whole TR and your kids are beautiful!!! I really like their costumes! You are very talented!

I'm sorry about your DD's eye. Pink eye is terrible but it looks like the medication worked right away! You couldn't even tell!!

But seriously, what's the deal with CMs and the switch thing? Those CMs needed some extra pixie dust in their coffee.

I think between the heat and the over stressed crowd it made the cm's grumpy!! Next trip I am sure will be fabulous! as long as no pink eye!
 
Your TR was NOT boring, it was REALLY FUN and I loved it!

I remember you from another thread and you know how I feel about your amazing talent when it comes to outfits. :worship:

They were all so brilliant. Every one of them was magic.

I loved your character interactions... I get a big kick out of the evil people, especially (Queen of Hearts!). I bet the kids will remember her!

Sorry about some of the rudeness and bad behavior. Blech.

You certainly do your part to make DL a festive place by adding your time and energy to those outfits. They really add to the ambiance of other guests experiences and I am glad to hear about all the lovely treatment you received.

Thank you for sharing your trip and your talents. :cloud9:
