Disneyland Day 1: Arrival

To say that the kids were excited about Disneyland has to be the understatement of the year.  They were SO excited, counting down the days for weeks now, and mentioning it every time we saw anything related to Disney or drove by the airport.

Flying to Disneyland was the BEST decision.  I can't imagine arriving there after having driven all day.

We decided to stay in the recently-renovated Disneyland Hotel.  We had a really nice suite in the Fantasy Tower and added on concierge service so that we could access the concierge lounge in the Adventure Tower for snacks, drinks, desserts, breakfast, and fireworks!

The kids had gift money from Grandma and Grandpa and Great Grammy and Papa which I had put on Disney gift cards before we arrived, so we went to the store in the Disneyland Hotel and they picked out a few items (pins for trading, new light-up ears, and pens to go with their autograph books).

Then we went up to the concierge lounge for some snacks before our dinner reservation at the Storytellers Café in the Grand Californian.

After dinner we went back to get a good night of sleep before the big day in the park tomorrow ... but Luke wanted more than anything to go watch the fireworks.  So, after Mia went to bed, Mommy, Day, Paw, and Luke went over to watch the fireworks show and have some special Disney desserts.

 

Tomorrow's a big day!
