DISNEYLAND Part II!!!

While at Disneyland and California Adventure, we had to enjoy some of the shows and parades available! We have heard that the "Aladdin" show was amazing since before the last time we went, but it wasn't showing then. Luckily it was this time, so we checked it out our first day there. It definitely lived up to the hype! It was AMAZING!!!Our second day there was Ryan's birthday, and he wanted to see the "Playhouse Disney Live on Stage" show. He was really excited, because he remembered it from last time, and danced outside to the songs while we were waiting to head inside! It was a fun show full of puppetry and singing! The boys and I had fun singing along with the characters!
After the "Playhouse Disney" show, we found a spot to enjoy the "Pixar's Play Parade!" This parade is so much fun to watch! Huge floats with all of the characters from the Disney-Pixar movies roll through the streets with a lot of dancers and props! The boys waved to everyone as they went by! ...Characters...

We got to see so many Disney characters!!! I was worried that Austin would be afraid of them. He certainly surprised me though and walked up to everyone, would hug them, and barely turn around and look at the camera. Ryan, on the other hand, knew that a picture would be taken, so he would walk up and immediately turn and say "cheese!"

We got to see Mickey...

...twice!!! We visited Minnie at her house in Toon Town, and had a great time checking it out!!!
We headed to Goofy's house since he was greeting everyone on his front porch, but had to run as we got to the front of the line.

We got to Donald as he was headed out to!

Pluto was excited to see the boys! He was jumping around and clapping! Flapping his ears! Crawled around! He was a riot! Mater and Lightening!!! In Critter Country we met up with Pooh......Eeyore... ...and Tigger!!! And Tigger's really do bounce allllll over!!! He was hopping and clapping as he greeted every kid! It was funny! Outside of the Monster's Inc. ride we met up with Sulley!!! He is HUGE!!! Yes, that's Austin under there!!! Sulley was the only character who made any noise! He was making all sorts of sounds inside that costume! ...FUN...

"A" for Austin!!!

"R" for Ryan!!!

When Ryan was picking out his Mickey ears, he tried on this Goofy hat and was being silly!

Austin picked out this stuffed Mickey and was lovin' on it while we waited in line for rides! At Paradise Pier!!! The birthday boy at Mickey's house!!! Austy... Austy... Cutie Pie!!! That's who's hiding under Mickey!!!

We all had an AMAZING time at Disneyland!!! Several napless days and early mornings didn't even take the toll on these boys that I thought it would, but it sure did on Mom, Dad and Nana!!! We were exhausted, but enjoyed every minute of it!!! We can't wait to go see Mickey again!
