DISNEYLAND!!!
Grandpa and Grandma Thurston took us to DISNEYLAND this day. It was AWESOME!
It really was the best day ever, and we are so grateful to Grandma and Grandpa for doing this for us. We were there when the park opened and stayed till it closed: 16 hours in Disneyland! But we had so much fun. I could talk all day about the fun we had, but I'm going to let the pictures tell the story.
Grandma and Grandpa - I think this was on the train ride.
We went to the Princess storytelling. Katelee was chosen to go and dance on stage with Belle and the Prince, which was SO COOL! She had to take her trusty and loyal sidekick, Jessie, along, too. :)
Princess Katelee
The Dumbo ride was a favorite!
Meeting the characters was definitely a highlight of the day! Katelee would give them all a huge hug; she knew she was meeting the REAL LIFE Tinkerbell!
Toon Town was probably one of Katelee's very favorite parts of the day. She had a blast playing with all the fun things to see there!
Of course we had to get a picture with Goofy's piano!
We took these pictures while waiting for the Fantasmic Show to begin.
Katelee's Favorite Parts of the Day:
- Going to Belle's storytime and getting to dance on stage with her
- The Winnie the Pooh ride and Big Thunder Mountain rollercoaster (Again! Again!)
- Meeting all the characters
- Playing in Fantasy Land and Toon Town
- Getting to buy her favorite souvenir: her beloved Jessie the Cowgirl doll
Jennifer's Favorite Parts of the Day:
- Taking Katelee hat shopping. While we were waiting for the Fantasmic show to begin, Grandma and I took Katelee 'hat' shopping. She tried on almost every pair of ears or sparkly hat in the store, and each one was her favorite. But she finally settled on her very favorite. We had her name embroidered on the back and she looked darling wearing it around.
- Pirates of the Caribbean - always one of my favorite rides!
- Drinking fresh pineapple juice while watching the show in the Tiki Room
- Watching Katelee's face when she met Mickey Mouse, the princesses and the other characters.
- Being with Gerald, Katelee and my parents
Gerald's Favorite Parts of the Day:
- Watching Katelee meet all the characters, especially Mickey Mouse when we first walked into the park. It made me choked up to see how happy and excited she was to meet him!
- Riding Big Thunder Mountain and other rides
- Spending such a fun day with Jennifer, Katelee, and Jenn's parents
- Watching the Fantasmic show
16 hours in Disneyland = 1 tired girl. (And 4 exhausted adults.)
Katelee was definitely a trooper though, and it was so worth it!
