Disneyland- Day 3

Well, this trip has been a learning experience of what not to do at Disneyland. Don't get in line for a fast pass without the rest of your family having already been checked into the park. Don't come during spring break. Don't attempt any rides before 5pm. Don't expect to eat at the Blue Bayou without a 2 day in advance reservation. Don't plan on doing the "princess for a day" package without a day in advance reservation. Okay... enough complaining. =)

After a lot of back and forths across the park and confusion on where to go to do what, I finally bought the girls the complete outfits for doing our own princess for a day. I took them into a rest room and changed them and quickly put their hair up into a messy pile of fake curls. Danissa and Chezney both picked to be Princess Tiana. Danissa picked brown curly/braided hair extentions and Chezney picked one that was 2 shades of pink. We planned on doing a knights dress up option for the boys, but found that there wasn't one, SO while I did the princess day with the girls, Mike took the boys across the park to Adventure Land and bought them complete pirate costumes. We watched Cinderella tell a story about becoming a princess and Cohen was selected to "help in the story" by pretending to be prince and dancing with Cinderella. It was so cute! Later in the day we had a "Mickey and Minnie birthday party" where the kids got to wear hats, decorate their own cakes, and get their picture with Mickey and Minnie. Ethan was having an attitude problem so he wasn't in the picture (he was hiding behind me crying) but it was still fun. Cohen has had a fever since last night so he fell asleep wrapped in a blanket snuggled up to me in the park. We decided to head back to the hotel and get an early-to-bed so we can get up early and actually meet some of the princesses without a 90 minute wait! Here's to hoping that plan works!!!
