Disney California Birthday trip day 2

We went to Disney California for the second day of our trip.  I found these free princess printables on line and made these adorable shirts.  
We got to the parks early and were able to do a bunch of fun rides.  We got our radiators springs fast passes and played a ton in Bugs Land.  The girls wanted their hair done up like Minnie ears, hence the buns.




We waited in line for the Toy Story Mania ride and because it was her birthday someone just handed Taylor a Dumbo stuffed animal.  They had won it playing the midway games and their son didn't like Dumbo.  It was a MAJOR source of contention the rest of the day and led us to leaving early and almost driving back home this very night.  Sad when someone's kind deed ruins your whole day.  It's like when someone has an extra Popsicle and gives it to one of your kids and the other 3 throw fits because they didn't get one too.
After Toy Story we went to see if Taylor was tall enough to go on California Screaming.  She just knew that she was tall enough now because she was 6 years old.  When they measured her she was still too short and a little heart broken so they gave her a fast pass to any ride in the park.  This girl is the luckiest girl I know!! We have been to Disney several times and have never been given these amazing fast passes.  She gets 2 in 2 days!!
We went to the Aladdin show and got half way through it before the melt downs began.
We went on the water ride because of the heat and thought it would be fun to do the wilderness adventure activities.  By this time behaviors were so bad I had to have strangers stand between the girls in line.  Who knew!?!  Ugly business!


We ate the most drama filled dinner of my life and then took this one last picture of "posed" fun before heading to the bus to get back to the hotel.
Sad to say Dumbo never made it out of the park with us.  He was probably scooped up by a grateful child who will love him, or maybe he ran away from us to escape the drama.  I am very worried to know these girls at age 14. (I am even more worried because I have 3 girls who are very close in age.  One day I will have a 16, 15, and 13 year old!)  In theory it was an awesome idea.  Oh well, live and learn :)

  1. Oh my gosh! This sounds awful. But the "posed" fun comment made me laugh and laugh. And that picture with Taylor and Dumbo is adorable! Too bad he ended up being such a trouble maker.
