I don't care what anybody says, Disney knows how to do it right! My kids had a magical experience which translates into magical for mommy. Yes, I have COMPLETELY BOUGHT INTO THE DISNEY MARKETING MACHINE! I acknowledge it! It's know I'm being sucked in, but I just can't help myself! The packaging is too cute (see there are pitfalls to being a designer!)
The highlights of our trip were Splash Mountain (4 times for the 5 year old!), the frozen lemonade (man, it was hot!), Space Mountain (for me, not the husband who can't hold it together on the roller coasters), the Jedi Training Academy (Siri had NO clue what was going on but was very proud to be fighting Darth Vader), and the Pixar Play Parade.
And, well, what more can say about this vacation? Disneyland is definitely a place to be experienced. We didn't have a problem with long lines (but then, we used the UnOfficial Disneyland Guide, which was a lifesaver) and we took plenty of photos. We also used the Belkin TuneTalk...very useful if you remember to charge it up (which I managed to forget to do for the second day at DL).
And now, for recovery from the vacation...
