Disneyland!

Posing with mommy and daddy just outside the park.


Trying so hard to get Goofy’s attention…


…then totally flipping out when it was her turn to say hello!


Cheeeeese!


Riding Dumbo with mommy. This was Madeline’s favorite ride!




Riding “It’s a Small World.” This was also a favorite for Madeline. She danced and sang the song. Bummed we didn’t get better pictures.




On the submarine ride. She loved looking out her window until it got dark…then she only wanted daddy.

All in all, we ended being a little underprepared for our first trip to Disneyland. We made the horrible mistake of taking Madeline on Snow White and Pinnochio for her first rides. She was HORRIFIED and never truly recovered. She still talks about Pinnochio all the time…whenever she sees something that reminds her of the ride she says “Nochi, Nochi!” I never remembered these rides being so scary as a kid, but they really are just plain horrible. Luckily, we bought annual passports, so we are going to try again here in the next couple weeks. I know she will love meeting the princesses, the Jungle Boat ride, Pirates of the Caribbean and so much more. We also missed the parade…big time bummer! Now we know what to expect though and how to be better prepared next time around. I’ll be sure to post pictures of round two in the coming weeks!
