Day 9 & 10

Day 9: Saying goodbye to Disneyland!!!

Our last day at Disneyland started off with Critter Breakfast at The Grand Californian Hotel.  Michael made super early reservations which I could have killed him for.  I would later thank him as our "up front" spot in line to the park would score us the opportunity to "OPEN" the park for everyone.  Our family was asked  to enter the park before everyone else, count down and scream, "let the magic begin!"  What a fun memory for us and a "walk to the front of the line" pass to use that day . . . . bonus!!!

The Duck himself!  Took us 9 days to track him down.

When we entered the park we headed back to Toontown so we could enjoy "Mickey's Toontown Morning Madness."  It was a great little show and a wonderful way to get some one on one time with the characters.  This area is great for our age of children so we played, rode rides and headed out to find Jessie (which we never did, by the way).

Uncle Eric and Isabella riding the Mark Twain.

We finished off our list of things we had not seen yet and rode our favorites one more time.  We were all feeling better by now (almost all) and really enjoyed our last day.  There was a little Splash Mountain being enjoyed by big sister and the little ones saw Princess Tiana . . . . . again.  We rode Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters so Michael could redeem himself and ate our Mickey shaped pretzel.

Tia, Is and Mella!

This was probably Gabi's favorite day of the entire vacation because she was able to meet Aladdin in person!!!!!  I thought her face was going to be stuck in a permanent grin!  So glad she met him because with age the experience will lessen.  

The street rat a.k.a. Gabi's future husband!

After a full day at Disneyland, we met up with Uncle Eric to enjoy a wonderful meal.  The girls sat nicely through their first "white table cloth" meal and then off to pack.  I always take photos of the girls feet when we go places.  They will appreciate it one day!

Day 10:  Home, sweet home!

We checked out of the Disneyland Hotel and traveled to LAX for our first of many delays that day.  The girls were amazing travelers considering we circled the airport for some time waiting to land, had a "bumpy" landing and arrived home at nearly midnight!  The vacation was absolutely AMAZING and I would do it all again in a heart beat.  It was so nice to have the time and opportunity to build such wonderful, lasting memories.  Thanks to Mommarazzi we can enjoy it for years to come!

and I was documenting everything.  I love making memories!
