Disneyland 2014

It's hard to write about Disney without using the word magical, and for good reason. The place IS magical. I swear, I spent a good portion of our time with tears in my eyes, looking around at all the happy, smiling faces having the time of their lives. Hank and I remarked a few times just how rad Disneyland is- you can be a little kid, or a very old person, and it's totally cool to throw on a pair of mouse ears (or floppy Goofy ears or a pink princess crown or a big furry monster hat) and just have FUN. No judgment, no one making fun of you for totally nerding out. It's awesome.

The sights, the smells, the little details around every corner....everything about Disneyland makes me happy. And walking around for a few days with having fun being the only major thing on our to-do list was really wonderful. It was a wild few days too, as I'm sure you can imagine it would be in a totally over-stimulating place with a four-year old. The first two days were great, but the third day was a lot more challenging. More meltdowns, more bad behavior- a culmination of so much sugar and fun that I had a feeling day three might be a little funky. But we got through it and ended our last night watching the fireworks, Charlie strapped to Hank in the Ergo, Henry snuggled up in the stroller, taking it all in.

I'll write another post that will include some details of what worked for us on this trip from the hotel to the parks (let me know if you have any specific questions or requests too!), but for now here are some (more like a million) photos from all three days, thanks to my trusty iPhone. xoxo
