Our next vacation was to Disneyland for five luxurious days. Little Man had no idea what was in store for him, but he knew he wanted a big bagel. I have no idea where he got that idea, but none-the-less we were off to the Happiest Place on Earth......
Of course finding transportation to the hotel was an issue because there was four adults and three kids and lots of luggage... so the hotel sent us a limo. Did I mention how much I love vacations? Anyway, Little Man was in rare form on the way to the hotel because he could see himself in the mirror and he was so glad that he found a friend that looked just like him!
Ax on the other hand, was unfazed by the plane trip or the journey to the hotel. He would rather sleep.
So while NaNa and Pa were checking us into the hotel, Little Man, Adam, Ta Ta, and I ventured to Disneyland for a quick sneak peak. They were in the process of "Falltizing" Disneyland and it was incredible... We quickly ventured to Fantasyland and Little Man ran over to Dumbo and loved it because it could control Dumbo moving up and down, this made Adam a little queasy... but that's all part of the fun!
We saw in the distance Mickey and Minnie and Little Man wanted to see them, but we missed them and saw Mary Poppins instead. However, you may notice that Little Man is not in the picture, because it seems that he is scared of people that were dressed up such as Mary Poppins and ANY princess, but loved the characters.
Next on the agenda was California Adventure Park's Pixar Parade with none other than Lightening McQueen. Little Man was so excited and nervous at the same time. He loved seeing McQueen and still talks about it.
After our nap, we decided to go over Toon Town during the Disneyland Parade and it turned out to be a GREAT decision because there were only a few people in Toon Town, so it was like a private party.
Another benefit to being the only ones in Toon Town was when we saw Mickey at his house we could take multiple pictures, get autographs, and Little Man was able to give Mickey knuckles. I think we may have over stayed the welcome because Mickey started walking away and motioned "move along"....
That is only the beginning of our Disneyland vacation, stay tuned for the adventures when some special friends came to visit and the unforgettable Character Breakfast.

He motioned for you to move along!? That Mickey...
Can I join your family? What fun! I think we're going to Disneyland in a few weeks ... not sure what 2 year old needs to go 2 times in 1 year but my MIL has connections. You can't pass on connections :)
Do Ax and Little Man look a lot alike? Ax seems to look like more like you?
That's all good and fine but seriously, did Little Man get the big bagel he was hoping for? ;) He's such a cutie. Can't wait to see more!
I can't believe Mickey told you to "get to steppin'!" Is that even legal in D-land? I'll tackle him when I see him at Christmas. No worries Colin...I got your back.
