Disney Day 2

We spent the morning at Disneyland.  As we were entering the park, there were an unusual amount of crying children and frustrated parents.  I thought, "This isn't the Happiest Place on Earth".  I was glad Ella was a bit older and we had smiles on our faces for another day of fun.

One thing on Ella's must see list was Sleeping Beauty's Castle.

Ella was not interested in waiting in any lines to see the princesses.  We decided in advance to do the lunch with the princesses and we all enjoyed it.  Each princess came to every table and talked to each attending princess.  They gave autographs too.  It was really fun and the food was excellent!  Elsa and Anna (from Frozen) weren't at this lunch.  They were at another location with a wait of at least 2 hours with no guarantee of actually seeing them.  I even tried to look in a window just to get a peek.....nope...they were secluded until their newness wears off....maybe in a couple of years????  We thought for sure they would be in the parade....nope again!

Ariel

Snow White

Aurora

Cinderella

Our family favorite....Belle!  She was really cute with Ella.  Ella was the only girl in a Belle dress and Belle noticed.  Ella was eager to tell her that she is her favorite princess.  They chatted about libraries and books.  

Princesses all around!!

This picture is just one of the many evidences of a Dad spending time with his daughter! 

We enjoyed the Matterhorn Bobsleds, Space Mountain, Pirates, Astro Blasters and lots of other things.
