Let Disney day #2 begin! We had a much different plan today than the day before. This plan involved more swimming and a bit more relaxing. Fine by me. We even got to sleep in a bit because our first stop was a character breakfast right in our hotel. 

This girl is so, so California cool. 

Breakfast at Paradise Pier’s Surf’s Up. 

Hang Ten with Mickey

Gwyneth loves Stitch. I have to admit I’ve never seen this movie. I know the character, but no clue what the movie is about. 

They called all the kids up for a dance party. Annabelle was not sure about that. 

Gwyneth rocked it. She could care less about what people think of her or her dancing. She is six and that may change. It may change soon. But I hope not. Keep dancing, Gwyneth. Keep on dancing!!!

Tableside visit from Minnie

Tableside visit from Daisy. These character/princess meals are included in the vacation package we purchase and although they can be a bit pricey they save hours of time waiting in lines to meet the characters. The line to meet Minnie was over an hour in the park so sitting, relaxing, enjoying breakfast (and maybe a mimosa…) is not a bad plan. Worth every single penny. 

Instead of heading to the parks right away, the girls wanted to check out the water park. The slide was closed at our hotel which allowed us access to water park at neighboring Disneyland Hotel. They had several slides and great pools. The girls love, love, love to be in the water (especially Annabelle!). 

Cannonball!

After a quick shower and lunch off we went to Disneyland. These girls are the real deal. 

So, so excited!

Our hotel was just a five minute walk to the California Adventure entrance. We walked right in and hopped on the Ariel ride. The girls wouldn’t have it any other way. 

After many rides, we took a stroll through Downtown Disney

The Disneyland side is much more crowded than the California Adventure side. We stayed late though and rode lots of rides and visited the castle. Another good, good day. 

One more night time trip on Its a Small World. There was a Code H in the line (check out the codes here.) Let me assure you this was not a horse. It was from a kid. Not a baby. A kid. And it happened on the sidewalk in the line right by us. And I have a super weak stomach. And that is a gross understatement of my ability to deal with a Code H. The employees started calling out Code H and even before I knew exactly what that was I knew I better get on the ride fast!! We survived with minor gagging and have a new fun, fabulous story to share of my weakness for all things Code H related. 

Goodnight Disneyland, we’ll see you tomorrow!
