On the Tuesday, Feb. 17th we went to Disneyland as a family.

| Waiting for the park to open. |
Disneyland was just a short walk from the hotel.
The one thing we were bummed about was that they were doing construction on Sleeping Beauty's Castle. We just go to see a cardboard box! That just means we will have to take another trip out there to see the castle.
We headed to Fantasyland.
Our first ride was Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
Matthew went to get some Fastpasses, so we rode King Arthur's Carousel.
Next was Dumbo!
They still have the Snow White's scary adventures so we rode that.
Look who we ran into - The Evil Queen!
She was very much in character. Evan was scared of her.
Disneyland and Disney World has some similar rides, but there are a few just at Disneyland. We enjoyed this cute ride called Storybook.
It has replicas of all the princesses' castles.
Disneyland still has Toontown and the kids enjoyed it.
While waiting on the afternoon parade we found some friends.
We found a great spot for the parade.
One of the kid's favorite ride was the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage.
We didn't get around to riding It's a small world until late in the night and it was so cute.
It has different Disney characters mixed in with the country they would be in. It was so cute we rode it twice to make sure we saw everybody.
One of my favorite rides was Alice in Wonderland
Before heading to watch Fantasmic we headed to Toontown to see Mickey.
You have to get a Fastpass to watch Fantasmic and we ended up getting the last show. We had to get there 30 minutes before the show started, so the kids were tired and fell asleep while waiting. After the show we headed back to the hotel and found a surprise waiting on us.
Cookies and milk! Lisa & Victoria came back earlier and room service brought these. It said for Michael. Lisa told them there was no one named that in our room, but they insisted they had the right room. So good night to us!
