It was so hard to sleep the night before Disneyland. We were all so excited. Brittany bought the girls matching Belle jammies.
Wednesday & Thursday mornings we all got up bright and early. We designed an assembly line to get things moving. I was in charge of waking the girls up and getting them both dressed. Mom & Dustin were in charge of making breakfast and packing lunches and snacks. Brittany was on hair duty and Papa Don was the entertainment. It worked out really well! We got there early and had a blast!!!
The park wasn’t crowded at all, and we went to Fantasyland and rode most of the rides there. Dumbo first, Alice, Teacups, Small World (which Kelsie loved) then Princess Fantasy Faire (waited in long a long time – guess 30-40 min.) then went over to California Adventure to get ready for our Ariel’s Grotto lunch. We had a yummy lunch and got to see lots of princesses there. Kailee danced with Belle. Kels ate 24 dozen strawberries. Other rides, not in any order were: Nemo’s Submarine, Matterhorn, Soarin Over California, Splash Mountain, Gadgets Go Coaster, Pooh Bear ride, Tower of Terror (Brittany and Dustin), Indiana Jones, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Peter Pan. We also watched the Disney Playhouse show, World of Color, Minnie Mouse house, Pixie Hollow to meet Tinkerbell, Muppets 3D, Celebrate-A Street Party. We met Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Tigger, Pooh and Eyore. No, we didn’t do all this in one day, but we did make it in two! Wednesday was and Early Entry day and WE DID IT! We were at the park between 6:30 and 7:00. It was so great and I was really proud of our family! We stayed until 9:00 the first day and until 9:30 the second. We ate breakfast at the condo and packed sandwiches for lunch. I think Dustin (and the rest of the family) had two dozen churros there – yum. It truly is a magical place and we loved every minute of it. Before we left the park, the girls needed to get their Minnie ears-hat complete with names and dates. The embroidery machine kept breaking on poor Kailee’s hat; I think they had to use three hats before they got it right! When they had Lindsie write down the name she wanted on hers, she put KELSINATOR on the paper. The girls said, “Sorry, only real, proper names.” So Linds just told her Kelsinator IS her REAL name! HA. That’ll teach em. The girls looked so cute in their ears, but man were they tired. We all were. I didn’t know if we could make it one more day, but the next day, Friday, we had a fun new adventure!
This was the first ride we went on. Put your hands up if you love Dumbo!!!
Kailee has always loved Aurora (Sleeping Beauty). Luckily enough she was the first princess we saw there. This picture is priceless...
Kelsie likes all the princess movies so I thought she would be so excited to see them in real life. WRONG!!! She got so shy and hid her head in my shoulder every time they would try to talk to her. Silly girl!!!
This was right after the princess fantasy faire on the first day. We hadn't even been at the park for 4 hours yet and they were both exhausted! 
While they slept, Brittany pulled out their surprise. She bought the Kelsie the Snow White shoes and Kailee got Cinderella's glass slippers. 
We ate lunch at Ariel's Grotto. It was delicious and fun because the girls got more one-on-one time with all the princesses. 
Obviously Kelsie was still not so thrilled...
And then we saw Mickey!!!

I'm pretty sure I took over 200 pictures those 2 days. Here are just a few of my favorites:

Kels might not have like the princesses but Mickey was a whole other story. She ran up to him and gave him the biggest hug. It melted my heart!!! 
Then she liked Pooh too...
This picture cracks me up because none of us planned it. My mom said cheese and this is what we did. Awesome.
This was on Gadgets Go Coaster. I love Kelsie's face. You can tell she's a little scared. Maybe its because earlier I took her on the Matterhorn. It might have been too much. She didn't cry but towards the end she started screaming "I done, I done"!!!
Oh, the castle...
Kels even loved Goofy too! 
Honestly...
