In June, we were fortunate to take the kids on their first trip to Disneyland. We had an amazing time. We were a little nervous taking such young kids, but everything turned out great! (Plus, it helped that the boys were free!)
We chose to go two days, which I would recommend to any family going. We went in the mornings just as they opened, headed back to the hotel around 10:30 for lunch and naps, then headed back midafternoon. It worked out pretty nicely for us. Plus, having kids that weren't cranky from missing sleep was awesome!
Nate got to meet his favorite character Donald, along with Goofy and CHip and Dale. We learned that it is not that easy to visit characters at Disneyland, you almost have to be in "the know" for where they are going to be. The first day we had absolutely no luck getting pics, so we made it a priority for the second day. Danny was actually taking a short snooze when we came upon Chip and Dale, but they came to him...it was such a cute moment!
We were lucky that our hotel was just a short walk down the street, so we decided not to deal with parking. We hopped on our double stroller, which actually held three as Tessa would sit on the rim.
The only scary moment we had was in Toon Town. Tessa and Nate were star struck with everything Mickey and gang, which meant that they "tuned" mommy and daddy's directions out. Other then that, no real scary moments.
Our final day was spent at the beach, which ended up being the one cloudy day we were there. I had forgotten how hard it was to keep young children clean at the beach!

We had a wonderful family trip, and look forward to the next time we can visit the happiest place on earth!
