Riding the train
Sydney and Kristen in the back on Splash Mountain
After Splash Mountain we ate some dinner in New Orleans Square. We went on a few more rides then I staked out a few seats for the Fantasmic Show. While waiting, Drew queitly took a much needed nap.
Here is a picture of Sydney and myself while waiting for the Fantasmic show.
Haley and Jeff went on Splash Mountain 2 more times while we waited. Sydney and I were just chillin waiting for the show.
After Fantasmic, we waited a few minutes for the snow to fall. Disneyland really goes all out to make this a memroable and magical moment. We really loved the snow (bubbles) fal out of the sky.
Sydney was less than pleased up until that moment. She kept saying she wanted to go home because she was so tired. She got a burst of energy after the snow fall and was on her second wind after that.
The castle in all it's Christmas glory.After Sydney's burst of energy, we woke Drew up and waited 15 minutes to ride Peter Pan's Flight. We had been wanting to ride it, but the line is usually about 1 hour long. It was worth it.

We then went on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
After that we walked right on the Teacups ride. Haley got her own cup.
After that, we went on the Storybook boat ride. It was a great way to end our 16-hour day at Disneyland. We were so exhausted, and on the tram ride back to the car, Sydney fell asleep. The kids had such a fun time and I'm so glad I was able to go this time of the year when Disneyland has all the Christmas trimmings.
Total count: 12 hours on the first day + 16 hours the second day = 28 hours of pure delight!
Favorite Rides
Drew: Tower of Terror - yes he rode it and LOVED it. Everyone gave him hi-5's for riding the scary ride.
Sydney: California Screamin'
Haley: California Screamin'
Kristen: Space Mountain & California Screamin'
Jeff: It's A Small World ( ha ha, lets see if he sees this post and complains). No, probably Haunted Mansion in Nightmare Before Christmas and California Screamin'

looks like a fun time.
I remember that Spence was thrilled that "It's a small World" was under construction when we went in 2008. :)
Sounds like you all had a wonderful time!
