Day 3 - Surprise Disneyland Trip
















Day 3 was also the start of the Memorial Day weekend so the park was more crowded then the other 2 days. We decided that this was would be a good day to enjoy shows get the rides we wanted to do first thing in the morning. Lauren was excited that she got called on to ask Crush a question and that she got to join a parade dance.

Another exciting thing was the chance to ride the new Ariel ride. The ride opens on June 3 but just as we were walking by they opened it for a special sneak peek. We were one of the first in line. It was very exciting.

We then enjoyed a great princess lunch. We stayed at the park for the night show and the fireworks. We finally dragged our tired bodies home at about midnight.

Day 2 - Disneyland Surprise Trip
















On Day 2 Lauren got to meet Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled. That was a long wait and after waiting in that line I decided that going to Goofy's Kitchen and the Princess lunch was well worth the money. We also got to see the new summer parade. It was the first day they were doing the new parade. Lauren went on Soaring about 4 times. I think that is her new favorite ride.

Goofy's dinner was fun and it is always nice to have the characters come to you instead of waiting in line. We stayed at the park until it closed. It was a great day at the park.


Day 1 - Disneyland Surprise Trip















On our first day at Disney we went on the usual rides, Dumbo, Tea Cups, Its a Small World and etc. However, we also tried some new areas including Tom Sawyer's Island and the playground area at California Adventure.

We also got to see the new night show World of Color. That was an amazing show. I am not sure how they do it but WOW!!

It was a fun first day on Lauren's surprise vacation trip.

Surprise Trip to Disneyland



Lauren's last day of school was a half day and I told Lauren I would take off work early and we could do anything she wanted. She talked about how she was not sure if she wanted to go to a movie or somewhere else. However, she did not know that I already planned to pick her up and drive to Disneyland for a surprise vacation. When I told her we were going she didn't believe it and I had to show her the luggage and the tickets. Then she got a little upset that everyone knew about the surprise but her. It was a strange reaction.

The drive over was pretty easy and we got there in the early evening. We checked in to our hotel room and walked over to Downtown Disney for a few hours. We were both excited for our next day at Disney.
