DISNEYLAND!!!!

Wow, Wow, Wow, were the first words from the kids when we arrived at Disney studios this morning, followed by a massive Yeeeaaahhh. It was amazing, so grand and magical, we walked around and took the kids on the army men ride from toy story and slinky dog ride, looked around some more and went to a stunt show, which action packed and Lightning Macqueen made an apperance there as well, I had to take Maddie out towards the end as it was extremly noisy and she ended up in tears. We stopped and had a bite to eat and Paul fast tracked a ride, so we could venture on and come back to it later. So I took the kids on a train ride around, it was cars and dinosaurs etc, that have featured in movies, it also took us to a visual effects area, where it rained, then tidal wave, fire and a moving truck, amazing, but Maddie cried and Lachie wasn't sure of it all, but we saw it. We went to the disneyplay house and saw Mickey, Mini, Daffy and Daisey, Pluto and Goofy do a stage show, during it, the bubbles came down from the roof, then gold leaved and then streamers, the kids danced and laughed and waved very exciting. There was a story behind it also involved winnie the pooh and tiger, and handy manny. It was getting close to 2 pm so we decided to head over to Disneyland, right next door.....OMG, again then kids were priceless and that overwhelming feeling, the music was playing and the inner child is unleashed.......the most magical place I have ever been to....While we were getting our bearings Paul said the celebration train was about to start, well themed to "do you beleive in magic?" down came this train in bright colours with the chipmunks, Donald and Daisy Duck, Mickey and Mini Mouse, Pluto and Goofy!!! all waving and the music was loud, you could not stop yourself from having a bop along, Lachie was dancing and waving and Mad

die was asleep in the pram. We followed then train to the end, where they all got off and had photo's taken. Lachie got his with a chipmunk, then we heard " Hello, I was talking to you on then train yesterday", it was one of the girls Lachie was chatting to, looking after the train and characters. So, she said to follow back and she would come and get us for photos with Mickey and Mini, so we did and she took us out back and we got photos with Mickey, Mini, Donald and Daisy, soooo amazing, so lucky and all thanks to Lachie having a chat to a girl on the train lol. We then went to Frontierland, Maddie and I had a rest and Paul and Lachie went on a ride. Looked around this land and went to adventureland, again they are amazing, you can not describe it. It was time for Paul to go back to his fast tracked ride, so as we were leaving the train started again, so I stayed with the kids so Maddie could see it, and she danced her little heart out and waved and yelled to Mini, she was soooooooo excited. Priceless...We decided to call it a day at 5, (we coud have stayed for hours) but we are back again tomorrow, and for a dinner and show at the wild west show, for Lachie's birthday ...then the night time spectacular with the light show and fireworks, this will end our trip, as we head for the airport the next morning......Looking forward to doing Fantasyland, discoveryland and some more of the studios tomorrow...
