Happiest Place on Earth

We lucked out and found our hotel to be directly across from the entrance to Disneyland. Yay! We saw signs of Disney before we ever entered the park. Aren't the benches cute? The Mickey heads are actually at the ends of the bench. Excitement was high as the kids waited for Dad to purchase tickets. We were there right at opening time and we could tell it wasn't going to be a slow day.

I think 2008 is the year of TinkerBell. She greeted us just inside with her twinkling, magical wand.
FASHION DISASTER ALERT AHEAD!!!
Can you guess which one we're referring to?
(Jordan, Jaeden, Keith, Brooklyn, Kayla)
Umm, yeah.... I even tried packing his clothes to match, but try telling that to a 15 year old boy. Okay, maybe there are fashion savvy young men out there (somewhere, I just know it!), but not our oldest. Oh no, not him. As soon as I saw him walk out of the bathroom, I tried changing his mind. I might have said something about not pairing stripes with plaid. Something like that. Didn't work! So I figured maybe he'd get lucky and some cute girl would clue him in. Not this day, though. Please tell me he'll change! I guess if his clothes are the worst of it, a girl might consider herself to be quite lucky. I quickly got over it - just had to avert my eyes when looking at his choice of outfit. *sigh* As long as he was comfortable, right?
We decided a trip on the Disneyland Railroad, to get the lay of the land, would be first on our agenda. I love going at Christmas time because everything is decked out for the holidays/winter and has that extra magical feel about it.
Decorations in New Orleans Square. Makes me want to make a trip to Louisiana.

Gotta go make some dinner for starving children. I'll post more pics tomorrow. Buenos Noches!

Hi Anita,
Rest assured, Jordan isn't a minority. The best thing is to say "wow, I love that shirt with those shorts" thereby assuring he'll never wear them together again.
Hope you guys are great!

Awww...Disneyland!! My favorite, I have never been at Christmas either. I heard it was too crowded so we avoided it. Looks like all of you had a wonderful time! We are due to go again soon!
