This year we decided to ring in the New Year with Mickey & all of his friends at Disneyland. The 5 of us went and had a truly "Roller Coaster" experience - some up-times, some down-times, and lots of "oohhs" & "aahhs" along the way. We also made a brief stop in Vegas on our way home.
With the kids' ages of 8, 9, and 11 Todd and I knew that this was a great time to take them to the Magic Kingdom- old enough to remember the trip and fun, young enough to still find joy in the magic that is Disney. The parks (both Disneyland and California Adventure) always look beautiful during the holidays- each decorated for Christmas and the Haunted Mansion decorated in my favorite theme - The Nightmare Before Christmas. The only drawback of visiting Mickey during this time of year? Everyone else is visiting him, too (SUCH CROWDS!!!).
I'm glad we took this trip and created memories that the kids will hopefully hold on to for life. BUT, it is true what they say "There is NO place like home" (I'm so glad we're back!)
Please take a few moments to enjoy the slideshow of our trip (The link is on this page's sidebar)...
