Some of you may remember that last spring we took a family vacation to Florida and visited Disneyworld, and that it was not a huge hit with the Finner. We knew we were taking a change but hoped that by pumping him up about it and the extra 6 months of worldly experience he'd like it.
He did! We had a little trouble with the darker rides (didn't realize how many Fantasyland rides are dark and scary, nice job Walt) but he LOVED the Teacups, Toontown and the Jungle Ride and many others. Because we stayed at the hotel we were able to ride the Monorail into Tomorrowland an hour early, no lines, no hassle. That in itself was pretty much worth the extra money.
We met my brother Geoff and his girlfriend for dinner the night before which was a bonus. He lives about 20 minutes away from Disneyland. Loved getting to spend a little time with him and of course Finn is a big Uncle Geoff fan.
The morning after Disneyland Day we had breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen and met a few random characters before heading back home. A great mini-vacation!

Bashful with Alice, she was so pretty he got nervous.
Hamming it up with Dale (or is it Chip? I forget).
Fun, fun, fun! You guys are so smart to go during the week- we always do too. It's so much more enjoyable. Bummer to hear the Disneyland Hotel turned super commercial and lost it's old charm. The starry display sounds really neat! We thought we would wait to take Mia when she's 4 or 5 but now you have me wanting to go earlier!
