Disneyland delight

Okay, here I go. Disneyland, September 20th through the 25th, was the best vacation we have ever taken. The weather was perfect, it was the perfect time of year (meaning not too busy at the park, but still nice weather), the Matterhorn was finally open and the beach was divine - but more about that in another post. The kids were all old enough to go on all the rides and did, for the most part did, and we had a 5 day pass so we were in no hurry and relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. It was perfect. Here is a smattering of pictures indicative our our week in the Happiest Place on Earth.

You can't go to Disneyland without going on this mind-numbing ride, no matter how hard you try. Halfway through, you really wish it were a smaller world. :-)

Here's Markee being my California girl.

And Marin in front of my favorite place. I really wish I could decorate like this for Halloween!

No, it's not CHiPs, it's just Peter pretending to be Japanese incognito. And Jared, so happy to be in ToonTown.

Looks like this is probably one of the MANY times we were on the Indiana Jones ride, Marin's favorite.

Erik LOVED California Screamin', otherwise known as Screamin' Over California.

Yes, Nicolas got wet - a lot. He even had to go back to the hotel to change in the middle of one of the days because there was no way that he would ever dry. He loved the wet rides - Grizzly River Run and Splash Mountain. Yes! I finally have one that loves Splash Mountain as much as me!

The best thing about Disneyland in the fall? The villans are out. Unfortunately, they "don't allow Maleficent out during the day because she will scare the little kids." But at least Markee and I got to chat with the evil Queen from Snow White (loved her!), Captain Hook and Cruella di Ville.
