As with any other great vacations we’ve been on; when it came down to the last day, we weren’t quite ready to leave.  We are always wishing for an extra day… as they say, all good things must come to an end.

Highlight of our favorites:

1)  Grand Californian Hotel – highly recommend anyone planning a trip to stay here.  Service was impeccable and you are literally in the center of everything.

2)  California Adventure – we really enjoyed this side of the park because it was less crowded and the incredible rides & attractions.  Tay’s favorite ride was ‘Soarin Over California’…she went on it twice!  For Brooksie, I’d have to say her favorite was the Aladdin musical.

3)  Meeting all the Disney Characters and Princesses – we dined at Goofy’s Kitchen and Ariel’s Grotto.  Food was marginal but the kids LOVED meeting their favorite stars.  B enjoyed seeing them from afar, didn’t care for them so much up close.

4)  Parades – the girls really LOVE watching any type of dance / musical performance.  Tay even got picked to join the performers in the parade.

5)  Fun time with family – the best part of the trip was the chance to meet up with family.  The girls just adore their Grandma & Grandpa, Aunts, and Cousins.

We had a MAGICAL time; although, it was not quite perfect.

I was disappointed on two accounts.  First, we didn’t get to see the fireworks…the one night we had planned to see it the show got canceled due to high wind advisory.  Second, missed the water spectacular “World of Color” grand premier by just a few weeks.  Suppose, this gives us just a few reasons to go back – LOL.
