Last weekend we made our first long road trip with two kids and that too to a place where dreams come true - DISNEYLAND. We had been planning for this trip for quite sometime with Amit-Pooja and family and finally it happened.
We had been telling Kavya about this trip for few days before the trip and so she was very excited to meet Mickey Mouse. I also created some custom T-shirts so that all of us can wear the same color during our Disneyland visit and it could also be an early Father's Day gift and it worked out pretty well (as you will see in the pictures).
On Thursday, June 11, we left home around 4:00 pm and picked up Kavya from her school on the way to LA. Both the kids co-operated really well during the drive. The portable DVD player (that we purchased right before this trip) and the DORA DVDs were a big help. We had booked a hotel for 2 nights just 3 blocks away from Disney. So, we reached there around 11:00 after only 1 short break for dinner.
Next day, Friday June 12, we reached Disney around 10-11 am. We took some pictures and tried out some rides. Kavya was enjoying and Ishaan was also co-operative. We went to Toon's town to meet Mickey Mouse. Kavya and Mahek met Mickey and Mini (after waiting in long lines :), got their autograph and we continued to go for more rides. We got the FAST pass for couple of rides - so that helped. We also managed to watch the famous Disney parade both times. Kavya danced and jumped and had a blast during the parade. We were getting tired, but it wasn't dark yet. We wanted to go for the laser show, but there was no sitting or standing room.. So, we decided to just wait for the spectacular fire works. We just sat down in the middle of the road to have some food and then it was time for the fire works. That was the first day in the summer season for the fire works.. and it was realy grand. We also saw Tinker bell 'flying' up in the sky above the castle. By the end of firework, Kavya was already tired and cranky and went to sleep. Ishaan was also asleep before the fireworks started. The crowd was so vast that it took a while to move and get out of the park. We then waited near the guest drop-off area while Gaurav and Amit went to get the cars. We went back to the hotel and crashed..
Oh.. what a day it had been. Full of fun and excitement !!
