We were first in line to ride Luigi’s tires.

Amelie and Brenda riding Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree and having a lovely time.

Don’t I have a darling daughter?

Easton turned out to be quite the poser during this trip. I call this the “Vanna White”. His little leg is up and everything!

Waiting in line to see Aladdin. Even waiting in line was fun with Grandma and Grandpa!

This was a pretty spectacular Broadway show. Loved it.

Meeting Mickey.

Riding Soarin’ Over California. Mark took this picture–you can see the feet of all the rest of us!

All prepared for Grizzly Rapids.

Meeting Sofia the First. Easton was pretty smitten.

Riding Radiator Springs Racers. Although Easton declared it to be, “too scary” right after riding it, a couple minutes later he said, “actually, it was super fun!”

Here’s us before watching the World of Color water show, a.k.a. “The Great Drenching.” See how we’re smiling and carefree? Little did we know the wind would send the water from the show cascading onto us during the last half of the show, completely drenching all of us! It was hilarious and very very wet. We headed back to the hotel for warm showers and baths after this.

All ready for our first day in the parks!

A very serious young Jedi in training.

Bryce and Brenda, the only ones brave enough for the Tower of Terror.

While Bryce and Brenda did the Tower of Terror, Mark and I took the kids around Bugs’ Land. It has tons of great rides perfect for little ones. Here’s Amelie showing Grandpa a giant leaf she found.

On the Chew Chew Train (yes, I spelled that right).

Eating lunch. It was super delicious which is what makes this picture even more classic. What on earth was on my hand?

On the Nemo Submarines.

Another bug ride with the kids.

Our view of the castle as we waited for rope drop on Wednesday morning.

Waiting in line–Easton was such a trooper the whole trip!

On the spinning tea cups. I was the only adult willing to go on this ride!

After Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.

Taking the wheel on Autopia.

Meeting Anna and Elsa from Frozen. So fun to meet your favorite princesses!

Amelie got to ride a special carousel horse called Jingles. This horse was made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Mary Poppins.

Calder during his Jedi training. He had a great time and took it all very seriously. Sadly, the actor playing Darth Maul wouldn’t leave poor little Easton alone and even scared Amelie at one point, making her cry. Kind of lame. So, great for Calder, not so great for the other two.

On Dumbo. I flew with Easton and he refused to let me fly Dumbo higher than ground level. 

We took a break every day so that we could all rest for a bit. Clearly, Easton’s had an exciting morning!

Entering Small World. The way they change it for the holidays is pretty amazing and delightful.

Small World, or “Tiny World” as Easton calls it, was definitely one of our favorites. We went on it 3 times!

Riding Splash Mountain. I got completely drenched!

Going on it a second time and posing for the camera. Amelie’s in there somewhere…

The view as we left the park. What a fun day! Like I said, these pictures are just the beginning–we did so many fun rides and activities!

At the airport waiting for the shuttle to take us to our terminal. Can you tell Calder’s excited?

On the airplane.

Easton was pretty excited for his first trip on an airplane. He kept saying, “Tell me when we’re flying!”

All snug in his bed, ready for a good night’s rest at our hotel.
