Disney Trip

We took advantage of the 2fer that they offer to So. California residents each Spring. We pay once but get to go twice. And that is about the only way we can pay for Disneyland. At the rate they're going, Disney trips will soon require us to apply for a second mortgage, or at the very least pimp out one of our kids in the parking lot with a stack of paper towels and some Windex hoping they wash enough windshields to pay for their admission.

JUST KIDDING! well, maybe...

Anyhow, truth be told, we didn't even pay to get in. We have a Disney Visa card and we use it throughout the year and earn bonus bucks, so after about 10 months we earned enough bonus bucks to pay for all 4 of us to get into The Happiest Place on Earth. Not paying a single cent of our own money made me and Travis the happiest parents on earth!

We went to California Adventure in April, then to Disneyland in May. It was great! The kids had so much fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed waiting in line for rides with a 3 year old. Yep, that oughta be a feeling that you can bottle up and sell.

This year Faith had grown just enough to enjoy more rides than she did last year. She also enjoyed meeting Tinkerbell, and thank goodness she wasn't afraid of the characters this year! Holy Moly, I waited in line for close to an hour so we can go to Princess Hell. Belle, Jasmine and Ariel all in one place! It was like crack for little girls. Ahhh, but you should have seen the look on my little girls' face when she saw the princesses. It was as if she was seeing that light that shines out of the briefcase on Pulp Fiction. You know what I'm talking about? It was the look that some of us get when cocktails are buy one get one free? Yep, THAT look. She was in heaven. And I have to admit, it made my heart happy to see her so happy.

We also went to see the Aladdin musical, and that is one awesome show! Wow, I have to say that I think it was up there with the Lion King. It's fantastic, all of us really liked it ( and let's be honest--any time we get to sit in an air conditioned building on cushioned chairs is a good thing)
