DISNEYLAND

This year we decided to skip Thanksgiving and go to Disneyland instead! We did the Disney "Give-a-day, Get-a-day" program so we had free tickets into Disneyland. We drove to Anaheim Wednesday night and got ready to take on Disneyland on Thursday. We had so much fun! We kept telling Mason that we were going to visit Mickey Mouse but I don't think he got it until we actually got there. Our hotel had a shuttle to Disneyland so Mason was super excited that we got to ride a "bus" there. First thing we saw when we got inside was Minnie Mouse!

Mason wouldn't stop staring at her to take a picture

Then we saw Pluto! mason kept saying its a "big Pluto"

Then we headed off to do some rides. We weren't sure how Mason would do on the rides but he didn't cry on anything!

Mason rode Dumbo with Daddy...

And the teacups with Mom and Kristin...

He even talked someone into giving him their soda...

Despite his little tantrum in this picture, Mason loved the car ride...

Of course we had to go visit Mickey Mouse, Mason thought his house was pretty cool...

Driving Mickey's car...

We had to ride the circus train...we sat in the monkey cage! We also rode the monorail 4 times because Mason thought that it was super cool...

I think everyone's favorite ride was the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters...Brad liked to shoot the blasters and Mason liked to watch him...i think we rode it 5 times :)

Everytime we walked by the big Buzz in line, Mason would wave and say "Hi Buzz, Bye Buzz" Too cute!

Mason thought the castle was pretty cool...he think it is Mickey's castle...

By the end of the night, Mason was exhausted!

We had so much fun taking Mason to Disneyland. It was so cute to watch him get excited about seeing all the characters and going on the rides. He really enjoyed "It's a small world" Another favorite was Pirates of the Caribbean. Mason started singing along to "yo ho yo ho" while we were riding Pirates.

We decided to let Mason pick out his souvenir...of course, he went straight to the Cars section and picked out a giant Mack truck. It is a carrying case that came with a bunch of little cars inside. He absolutely loves it. He hasn't let go of it for the 2 days since we have been home :)

He rode the whole car ride home with it on his lap

Today we were driving in the car and Mason randomly said "Thank you Mama and Dada for Mickey Mouse's castle" It was too sweet. (He calls Disneyland Mickey Mouse's castle) He is already asking to go back!
