Word of advice. Always plan to go to Disneyland during the week if you are contemplating going. We went on a Wednesday and Thursday which was fabulous and then come Friday and it was horrible! Of course, it was the first day of the Holiday season at Disneyland, but you'd think that by 10:00 at night people would start going home and putting little kids to bed. Nope, everyone was still on a roll and long lines for rides were still in effect that late at night.
Anyhoo...we had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back soon. Paul is obsessed with Disneyland and would rather go there on vacation than a nice tropical place. (I'm missing Cancun!) You couldn't tell since he's so photogenic in his pictures. We are there when the park opens and we stay until it closes. Must be a bit of OCD for him. Wednesday there were no lines, no crowds, and wonderful weather. It was a perfect day with Mickey and Minnie. Yes, I'm a bit obsessive with wanting to see all of the characters. I never did find Pluto...next time.
It's one of our family traditions that we always ride Pirates of the Caribbean first to start off our adventure, but what a mistake that turned out to be. Jaxon freaked and his days were pretty much spent crying and upset with every ride that we got onto. Of course, it didn't help that his two year old molars were coming in so he was a grouchy and snotty lil' thing, but everything scared him...even the tram that you have to take to get to the park. I have very little pictures of him laughing and having a good time. There were some moments, but not a lot. The following photos show how his days were spent at the happiest place on earth.

Camryn is my daredevil and rode everything that she was tall enough for, except for Tower of Terror. We were getting ready to go on the ride and she had a meltdown and wouldn't go on it. Everything else she went on. It was such a fun trip and I've had to hear from Camryn at least ten times a day that she misses Disneyland and wants to go back. I'm with her since I love that place and look forward to going again. Enjoy the random photos.

I love Disneyland...it is the happiest place on earth ya know :)
Once you go on a weekday you'll never go on the weekends again. The family pics are great! You got so many good photos of all of you together.
ok seriously...where in the world did you find so many characters....I've never seen a fraction of them...and we have season passes!!! Your pictures are awesome!
I am so jealous!! I cannot wait to take the fam back...leaving the little one at home though of course! Poor Jaxon...it is a bit overwhelming for that age I am sure.
Despite the crying and long lines it looks like you still had a great time. I'm so looking forward to taking my little guys there someday.
Looks like you all had a blast!! The pictures are great....Paul even looks like he is having a grand ole time!!
You did see a lot of the characters. We are actually going this year. We gave the kids the option of Disneyland or more gifts for Christmas and they chose Disneyland (thank goodness!) I agree with going during the week versus the weekend. It's a huge difference!
so when exactly did you go? I want to go back someday (my 2 oldest & husband went for the first and only time a couple years ago & it was so crowded he made us make a deal that we wouldn't go back for many years). I want to time it to be a less crowded time of year. Unfortunatley for us, when we went it was weekdays and all but some stupid Rose Bowl or something was happening that week so there were HORDES of people there for the whole week. it was terrible. Love all the pics though. Thanks for sharing.
Tiff, plan to go when it is off season and not around a holiday. Jan-Mar would be perfect and definitly try and go Tues-Fri. Once you hit the weekend its awful holiday or not. The middle of Sept. once kids have gone back to school is good as well as the middle of October and November. The end of March thru August is horrible. Good luck!
I love that your husband is so into Disneyland. It probably makes for a funner trip. Poor little Jaxson sounds like my big Logan! Looks like fun. I would like to go sometime during the christmas season.
