The Happiest Place on Earth: Days 3, 4 & 5

Day 3:
Tuesday we finished up Disneyland (Tomorrowland & Tom Sawyer's Island):

Favorite moment of the day:  Watching Jackson and Harrison watch the Star Wars show in Tomorrowland!  I was across from them, so I could see their faces.  It started with a lot of Jedi training and then in the middle of the show, Darth Vader rises up out of the floor of the stage.  When he came out and started talking (in a real Darth voice) Harrison's eyes got huge, he reached his arm out and grabbed Jackson's shirt in the middle of the chest and said "That's REALLY Darth Vader!".  He looked stunned, like he didn't know whether to be excited or scared!  Hahaha.  It was priceless!

And then we headed over to CA ADVENTURES:
Reagan LOVED the Mater ride! ("Loved" might actually be an understatement!)  I think we did it 3 times in a row.  She would laugh SO hard, it was hilarious! 

Grandma, Papa, Reagan and Grant had prime seats for the Pixar parade!  

While Patrick, Jackson, Harrison and I waited forever in line for the new Cars ride.  ;)  It was totally worth the wait though, we would have loved to ride it again and again!  Harrison's favorite by far!

Because Reagan has special needs, she got a special pass that helped her (and our family) get on rides faster so she didn't have to wait in long lines and we could avoid major and irreversible meltdowns.  (Bless you Disney!)  Several times both Jackson and Harrison commented on how cool it was to have Reagan as a sister!  hahaha.  Especially when they had to actually wait in a line for a ride she couldn't go on.  ;)  After more than an hour in line for the Cars ride, Jackson says "Man, I really wish Reagan could ride this!" ;) Patrick and I just laughed. He then added "Not just because it would be faster, but I think she would really like it." We all agreed that she would have!... and a shorter wait would have been awesome too! ;)

Day 4:
Wednesday the weather was pretty questionable, so we left the littles with Grandma and Papa and braved the wet and cold with the older boys.  :)  We started out in CA to catch a few rides we hadn't done yet, like Soarin' Over CA... awesome!  And then back to Carsland, because Harrison wanted to live there!  :)  He found his heaven on earth!  hahaha.

We headed back to Disneyland to eat lunch and get seconds of the rides we loved!  (This is Harrison's more reluctant go-round of Indiana Jones.  hahaha.)

 It got really wet for a little while! 

The boys saved their money so that they could buy a special souvenir.  They both decided on build-your-own light sabers.  Shocker!  ;)  They were very pleased!  (And I can't believe I don't have a picture!) 

We hit both parks and tried to do as much as we could as fast as we could.  But man, by day three were we running on fumes!  Or maybe it was just me!  hahaha.  Patrick probably had another week in him at least... but I was beat!  ;)

Jackson's Favorites:  Matterhorn, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones, Radiator Springs Racers and Star Tours!

Harrison's Favorites:  Matterhorn, Space Mtn., Star Tours and everything in Carsland... especially the Radiator Springs Racers!

Reagan's Favorites:  Mater's Junkyard Jamboree!  And then everything else.  :)

Grant was a good boy, drank cold bottles and had to take random naps while being carried/pushed around for 2 days!  I imagine his favorite part was day #4... at the condo with Grandma and Papa!  ;) 

Day 5:
Was a morning filled with packing and goodbyes!  :( It was a wonderful (but too short) trip!!  We had so much fun!!  We all agree it should be a tradition!  WE CAN'T WAIT TO GO AGAIN!!  Thank you Grandma and Papa for sharing it with us!! :)  See you in 2015, Disney!
