We decided to go to Disneyland for the kids' birthday this year. They got 2 days off for Presidents' day, so we thought it would be a good time to go. Since we had to get to the airport early we stayed in a hotel next to the airport the night before. Let's just say Matthew & I didn't sleep good in this room.
Heading to the airport.
This was also their first time to fly, so they were super excited.
They did really well on the plane. They loved all the movies and the snacks. Once Ellie found out there was a bathroom on board she went 4 times. Fun times!!!
We stayed at the Grand Californian Hotel and it was beautiful. These are pictures from the Disney website because it's so big I couldn't take pictures to really show it.
We traveled on Valentine's Day and this man's birthday. Poor thing got the shaft on his birthday. No cake or anything.
This is our view from our room. The hotel is right next door to the park California Adventure. We had our own entrance to the park which was super nice. Disneyland parks are smaller and closer together than Disney World. You are also right in town unlike Disney World which is it's own town on it's own.
We got all our maps and brochures to check everything out.
Downtown Disney is right outside the hotel too. Super convenient!
We walked around and checked everything out.
Disneyland Hotel is on the opposite end of Downtown Disney. We saw a wedding going on at this hotel with the bride in the Cinderella carriage.
The girls loved this.
My sister, brother-in-law and nieces were with us too. We enjoyed some down time playing before bed and their big day.
