Disney Trip Review

March 19- We left Spokane airport and headed to Orange County. Conor thought we were going to Utah. The flight went great - except I lost my cell phone, another story. Grandma and Grandpa picked us up at the airport and we were off to find some dinner and Costco to stock up on some groceries. Conor finally decided we were in California but didn't really mind.

March 20-We hit the pier, Balboa island and finally the pool. Jen and Chris stopped by to say Hello on their way out of town after their fun at Disney. Fun to see them. We celebrated Kevin's B-day and even found a cake and some candles-Kevin and Grandpa had to get creative to get the flame for the candles, toasters don't make fire well but good thing there was a BBQ 2 flights down.



March 21 - Off to church. After the meeting we walked right across the parking lot to the beautiful Newport Temple and grounds. We wandered around and took some pictures. We then let the kids play at the beach for a few minutes before we were off to dinner with Uncle Kent and Lee who live about 10 minutes from Disney.



March 22 - Off to Disney!!!! We told Conor we were going to the beach again, but he was on to us. When we finally got to the parking lot I asked him where we were going and he said Disneyland. He was very excited. Here are a whole bunch of pictures of our day.


Oh the beloved carousel...we had to pry Josie off of this ride

Thunder Mountain-one of Conor's favorites




March 23 - Magic morning at Disney. We had to get up at 5:45 so we could get to the park by 6:45 to be one of the first in. Early but so worth it! We ran right to the finding Nemo Ride and hopped right on and then we hurried to all the other fun typically crowded rides. Indiana Jones, Space Mountain, Buzz Light year, Star Tours etc. We were lucky enough to ride most of the rides we really liked at least twice if not more. Fast passes that Grandma and Grandpa didn't want made for an extra ride as well-YEA! Since we got to the park so early we skipped out early and went back to the condo for a swim and a rest then back for the electric parade. Josie was mesmerized.

We are in the back two seats-Conor loved this little Goofey roller coaster.

One would think you would tire of wearing these ears?? Not Josie...she loved them.

March 24 - So tired this morning. We decided to relax at the beach and pool and shop around at the amazing fashion island. It was a good rest.






March 25 - Back to California Adventure. Today we rode Screamer 3 times and we all loved Toy Story, saw the mini Aladin show. Soarin, Tower of Terror and all the other good stuff.









March 26 - Homeward bound. Our flights home were on these tiny little planes for some reason. We had to walk out on the tarmac and climb the stairs-pretty fun. What a fun and spectacular fun trip. There is just something about Disneyland...
