So, we made our first trip of the new year to Disneyland! My cousin and his wife, along with her sister and husband joined us on this trip, and we had a blast! Since I've been trying to shed some lbs, we made sure to bring our own breakfast food to start the morning off right each day:
I made sure to get some shots of the beautiful spring flowers around the park. Tulips are one of my absolute favs!
My fav shot of the entire trip. I wish I hadn't been too lazy to drag out my real camera!
Aaaaaaand, we are all now annual pass holders! Notice anything strange? The best part is that within this circle of friends, they joke around by calling us the Dewsters. This just fueled the fire, lol.
Whoops! Didn't stick to the diet for every meal! We made reservations for the World of Color dining package at Ariel's Grotto in DCA. It was a bit pricey but the food was really tasty, and following the meal we had a killer preferred spot for the World of Color show.
Brian and I got to introduce them to the awesomeness that is Toy Story Mania. When we were in Disney World for our honeymoon, the line for this ride was consistently 2 hours plus. Not only that, but if you wanted fast passes you had to get them before 9:30 am or else they ran out for the rest of the day! Unfortunately, DCA doesn't offer the fast pass option for this ride and it was almost always a 45 minute wait. On our last day there, the 6 of us got to DCA early enough for rope drop making us among the first in the park. We made a beeline for this ride and the line was STILL over 20 minutes long!
I also got to do the Anamation Academy attraction in DCA for the first time. It's basically a class that runs every 30 minutes, and the animators show you how to sketch a Disney character step by step. I am TERRIBLE at drawing, but they make it so easy! I had so much fun, I did it 3 times!
All in all, we had a great trip. Now that we are annual pass holders, I foresee many trips in our future!
