Lucky Kids - Disneyland Trip

Yes, we are spoiled and got to go to Disneyland again! We went as the personal guests of Ms. Becky Baird, the star of the Monsters Inc show at Disney World. She was in LA for some training and we met her for one fun-filled day of Disney. Jen and Janel Wagner also joined us for the day-long Disneyland blitz. It is hard to do everything in one day, especially if you try to squeeze in California Adventure, but we were up to the challenge.

We went down Thursday night, and then went on Friday, driving home Friday night. We got home at 3 am Saturday, but the kids slept the whole way and we managed to stay awake.

On our last trip, Claire had a quick glimpse of the princess Tiana from Princess and the Frog, but she had just ended her show and it was too short of a visit for Claire. So, this time we made sure we went to hear her sing. Claire was very lucky this time - she got to dance and even play the tamborine with Tiana. Her luck would continue, as you'll see later on. Here is a video of her swinging her hips to "Dig a Little Deeper."

Claire kept calling everything an adventure - we went on a pirates adventure, and then the map of Disneyland was her adventure map - it was an insight into how excited she was to be there.

We waited in the hot sun until the parade came to our section - we were ready to keep walking over to CA Adventure but Claire was very upset to leave all of the characters - Mary Poppins alone sent her into hysteria. So, once the parade reached us, it was worth it. Claire went out and danced with Jessie and Woody - and I noticed that during the song Jessie pointed at Claire, which I thought was weird. Then the guy on the float singing came down and talked to Claire. It must have been Jessie's job to find the girl with the best dance moves!
