Trip Report No Creative Title...Just my Live Trip Report from Disneyland!!

Currently at the St. Louis airport waiting for our 9:20 flight to LAX for our week long stay at Paradise Pier Hotel in Disneyland!

We left Eastern PA on Wednesday morning and traveled to Southern Illinois to visit family. The trip out was great. The kids love road trips!

In the last week, we found out my brother-in-law will be meeting us in Disneyland for the first two days. We usually travel to AZ to see him during our trips out west, so this will be a nice surprise for the kids since they don't see Uncle Pat too often. We also found out my wife's cousin will be meeting us for dinner tonight as well.

Thanks to those who follow along. Ill keep this updated frequently!

Making the 30 second walk to California Adventure

one of the biggest differences between WDW and DL don't you agree?

After Goofy's Flight School, we went on Tower of Terror.

We moved on to Mike and Sully to the Rescue. We stopped for a few pictures along the way.

We then walked under the Hollywood Studios sign and made our way to Ariel's Grotto for breakfast.

We met Jake on our walk.

Breakfast at Ariel's Grotto

A view around California Adventure as we waited for our table.

That's Paradise Pier Hotel in the background

It's Ariel's Grotto, but for some reason we met Cinderella first. Not a bog deal, just surprised since it is Ariel's character breakfast.

We did meet Ariel while we ate. Along with Snow White, Aurora, and Belle.

Breakfast was very good.

Brayden got the Chocolate Chip Cruiser Waffle

and Madelyn got the Seashell Symphony

I had the Red Oak-Smoked Honey-Whiskey Barbecue Tri-Tip

Crystal had a gluten-free version of the breakfast sandwich

And Indiana Jones has single rider also. That line usually goes really fast and sometimes your whole party still gets to ride together! Happened to us twice.

Having fun in A Bug's Land

Maddy is really concentrating on her driving.

More fun in Carsland and RSR

I love the sign on top of the pump in this picture.

More fun with bugs

Tower of Terror

Are the lights on the ceiling as you enter the elevator a hidden Mickey?

If not, it sure looks like one.

 

[coachwnh]

Then me made a stop for some ice cream. Love this place. Never been there in DTD in WDW, but we always make a stop here in California Adventure!

Did you do the Sleeping Beauty walk through in the castle?

DL looks so appealing, many more rides and options that are fresh for a Disney fanatic like me.

Did you do the Sleeping Beauty walk through in the castle?

Yes. The kids and my wife did it the last two times we were here. I finally did it yesterday.

You have to make the trip! It really is a great experience.

 

[coachwnh]

Is there any ride that the kids won't do?

They will ride most anything; although, Brayden wasn't too keen on the rides in Bug's Land. He had fun on everyone, though!
