Milk & Cookies: Day One

Today was our first day in the happiest place on Earth, and it didn't disappoint!!! Little Guy was in awe from the moment we set foot on Main Street. Fellow ride-goers kept remarking how great it was to see him so excited- little did they know he gets pretty jazzed about everything, but it still brought a smile to everyone's face as he would clap and bounce in anticipation when we were next in line! He loved seeing the characters from afar, but as soon as it was our chance to give them high fives, he was DONE ;) It was a beautiful day, Daddy was in shorts and Little Guy wore his first of many Mickey shirts! Here are some highlights from day one along with TDF pictures:

Our day started off with a 1 AM departure time and Little Guy made sure to get his point across...he was not a fan of the early time and let us know with an hour of screaming...once he was back to sleep it was smooth sailing and we arrived in Anaheim around 8:30. A quick breakfast at IHOP which included Little Guy's first taste of juice (the first of many "new" treats in Disneyland!) and we were off... our first character was Goofy, and I was bound and determined to get the photo, even if Little Guy wasn't. We rode the Space Orbit rockets (puke!), Buzz Light Year (FUN!), and Tune Town before getting Little Guy some personalized Mickey ears ( I couldn't talk Daddy into any!). The next ride was a highlight...the merry-go-round! After back to back rides we hit up Pinocchio, the Jungle Cruise, and Daddy did Indiana Jones. We managed to squeeze in lunch (TDF corn dogs!), but no naps. Just as we were thinking Little Guy might make it without a nap, he fell victim to a meltdown and ended up asleep on Pirates of the Caribbean. We headed over to CA Adventures with our sleeping baby, Daddy rode Soaring Over California (his FAVORITE ride!) and then we all hit up Toy Story Mania. Daddy claims I only won because Little Guy was helping him, but I'd like to think it's my stellar aim. We decided to grab a quick bite in the park, got lucky and had front row seats to the Pixar Parade and were home in bed by 7! It was an amazing day, one we will never forget even if Little Guy may not remember it! Blame the pregnancy hormones, or just being a sappy mom, but it made me tear up laying in bed that night realizing how big our baby is getting and how truly blessed we are to be sharing such a fun adventure together!
