Disneyland 2013

We finally went to Disneyland the first week of June. We went with all the Torgerson’s (minus Robert ) We had such a great time! We finally made it to Disneyland on Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday we got there around 8:00 in the morning, when it opened. It pretty nice until about 1:00 that afternoon. The heat came and it was really hot.  We rode all the fun rides and the kids had a great time until they were just too worn out to have fun anymore.  We ended up leaving around 4:00 that afternoon.  We were so proud of little David he even rode Splash Mountain. He was terrified and afterwards said he did not ever want to ride that again, but he was so brave!  The kids also enjoyed the Star Wars 3d ride. Little David was the villain and they had his picture on the screen and everything. It was so fun.  We went and met Mickey in his house and got our picture taken with him. We had way to much Cotton Candy and sweets!

We had 6 kids there under the age of 7 and 2 of those were about 2 months old.  Giselle and I spend a lot of time in the mother’s lounge feeding Lincoln and Lizzy.  Thank goodness there were so many adults to help with all of these kids! Parker especially loved Grandpa.  He wanted to be with him all the time.  The older boys (David, Grandpa, Kevin, and Austin) got to go and ride a lot of rides, while us girls hung out with the kids.  It was a little awkward…we made a decision that next time we go to Disneyland we will divide up the time a little better and all of us will have time to ride the rides with no kids around. The kids were a little overwhelmed after the first day and so were the adults,  We were all tired, hot and cranky by the end of that first day.

I didn’t say anything to anyone that night, because I thought I was the only one filling like it was not that great of an experience.  When I asked the kids what their favorite part was, they said it was picking out the souvenirs at the end…well we could have saved some money and just gone to the Disney store! We just tried to hard to get too much done in one day and learned the next day, when we went to California adventure to go later in the afternoon and let the kids be well rested.
