First Disneyland trip!


My parents were so nice to take the family on vacation to Southern California earlier this month. Luke's first Disneyland trip! We went to Disneyland, California Adventures, Universal Studios, the Wild Animal Park, and also went to the beach. We had a BLAST! It was a lot of fun to spend time with the family and of course do the highlight of the trip...Disneyland!
This trip was Luke's first plane ride and he did pretty well both ways. We were a little anxious to see how he would do at the theme parks and everything, but he actually did really good! He is the youngest person in our family to go to Disneyland. He went on quite a few rides at Disneyland, I think he really liked the bright colors and the music on them. We had 7 people wanting to hold and play with Luke the whole time so he was getting non-stop attention. When he got tired he'd just fall asleep in the stroller. It worked out great!

The first day there we went to the beach. 


The next day was our first day at Disneyland. Luke was able to go on a few rides with us...he went on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (I thought he'd be scared but he didn't cry at all!), Storybook Land, and the Casey Jr. Train.
The next day we went to Universal Studios. Luke didn't go on any rides here because they are pretty much adult rides. But we got some fun pictures of him!

The next day... California Adventure. We also watched the Disneyland parade that night back over at Disneyland and we had a great spot right up close. Luke liked watching all the bright colored floats go by!


Next day was Wild Animal Park.


Friday was our last day at parks and we did Disneyland for the first half of the day and California Adventure the second half. We had already done most of the rides we wanted to go on so we did some of them again. We took Luke on the Teacups, Peter Pan's flight, the Merry-go-round, and the Pooh Bear ride. He started crying in both Peter Pan and Pooh Bear (they were both dark rides so I think he got a little scared) but he seemed to really like the teacups and the Merry-go-round! We went back over to California Adventure and did our favorite rides there again, and drew some more pictures. That night we went back to Disneyland for the firework show and Fantasmic. The firework show was awesome! Fantasmic was really cool too.
