Disneyland 2012

This week we returned from the happiest place on earth!  We had fun playing as a family and just focusing on one another during our 8 nights away. This is the sixth time we have gone to Disneyland with our girls (third time with Miah) and we never tire of the experience...well at least not yet ;)

Our first day on the park fell on leap year. For the first time ever both Disneyland and Disney World stayed open for 24 hours with "One More Day" being the slogan.  On our plane to Anaheim there were people flying down for this one day only.  Noting that is was probably going to be very busy, we opted not to enter the parks at 6:00 am. We heard that the lines were huge that morning.  We arrived a bit later, maybe around 9:00 and the crowds had spread throughout the park.  It didn't feel overly busy during the day (maybe just compare it to a Friday or Saturday) but closer to 8:00pm the lines again started forming at the ticket office.  That was our cue to head back to the hotel and call it a day. It sounded like it went well despite the teens trying to start a mosh pit in Fantasyland.

Miah's only request this trip was to have a turn being transformed into a princess at the Bibbidy Bobiddi Boutique.  Madison had it done in October for her birthday and Miah made sure to remind us of that a few times before we left. it was so fun to see her soak up the experience and enjoy being pampered as every little girl should.

Getting her nails polished....

Choosing just the right color of eye shadow...

A sprinkle of Pixie dust...

And voila...Introducing Princess Miah (she kept saying she looked like Mulan)
