This last week I went to Disneyland with my mom and my sister and her family. My nieces loved the place and couldn't get enough of all the fun rides and cotton candy. I haven't been in such a long time and had forgotten how fun Disneyland is. I also got to visit California Adventure for the first time, which claims ownership to one of the latest and greatest rides, the Hollywood Tower of Terror. Wow, did I underestimate that ride! I was a little disappointed with Disneyland though, since the Matterhorn was closed and always seems to be closed when I go! However, we got to go on many of the classics like Indiana Jones, Alice In Wonderland , Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean , Splash Mountain, and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. We also discovered the convenience of wearing ponchos on all the water rides...all the water fun without the soggy river bottoms for the rest of the day. My five-year-old niece loved all of the big rides that she was tall enough to get on and insisted on not having to endure any more of the "baby" rides after she experienced the thrill of Space Mountain and Tower of Terror with her hands up! She is such a brave girl. It was really fun to see them ride all the rides and meet all of their favorite Disney characters.
Aly and Sophie loved meeting Minnie Mouse and were wondering where Mickey was.
They also got to meet the Chipmunks...Aly couldn't believe how cute they were!
Aly was ready to show off her Princess Tiana shirt at Disneyland!

However, Aly wins for making the best scared face on her favorite red "lolla coaster."
Aly and Sophie were such great sports during two long days of walking around Disney.
What a fun trip!
