We just took the boys to Disneyland for the day over spring break. This was the boys' 4th trip to the Happiest Place on Earth (which to some people may seem like a lot, but to Jason and I it seems like nothing since we both grew up going all the time. We even went for NYE many years in a row until we were old enough to drink)
Bryce's First Trip to DisneylandThe morning started off very, very wrong! We got there an hour later then I had planned to get there (the key word
I, I think everyone else had a different idea in their head) It was super
HOT that day, and so very busy. Jaydon was in a "6 year old mood" and throwing his 6 year old attitude around. So needless to say, I was in a
BAD mood! So much for the Happiest Place on Earth.
I had so many expectations of this trip, because
FINALLY Jaydon was able to ride all my favorite rides (except for California Screaming in Disney Ca Adventure) Jaydon had other ideas, cause his little butt would not get into a roller coaster for anything. He even bowed out of Tower of Terror, while Bryce rode it! Can you believe it, he let his younger brother show him up. (Bryce did say it was the scariest ride ever, and he doesn't want to ride it again)
By lunchtime I was feeling a little better, it was still hot and crowded but Jaydons attitude started to change and the lines weren't taking that long any more (except for Toy Story Mania) We finally got on a roll and started enjoying ourselves. I still couldn't get Jaydon on a roller coaster, but he was happy to ride the swings and the jumping jellyfish.
Around dinnertime Bryce was done, so Papa and him went back to the RV to watch Disney movies for the rest of the night. (Thank God for Papa's and RV's) So Jason and I took Jaydon back to Disneyland to really get the party stated. Disneyland at night is the best. Lines are shorter, people are happier, and the weather is much cooler. We really enjoyed the last round of Disneyland. I was happy Jaydon
FINALLY started to get into the rides and he even rode Indiana Jones.
The night ended well with fireworks and shopping. Jaydon enjoyed it and wants to go back (maybe we will get him on space mountain next time) Bryce was more then happy with the time he spent with Papa watching movies. I think that made his night. We are thinking about getting year passes for the family so I wont be so stressed about the lines and the time we have, and so Bryce can chill when we go.
Hopefully our next trip wont be too crowded or too hot, and hopefully we will see more stuff and enjoy it more.
