DISNEYLAND!

Our much anticipated trip to Ojai and Disneyland came and went way to quickly! The day after arriving in Ojai, we hit the road for Disneyland. However, the trip didn't exactly start smoothly. While picking up Boomie, William decided to throw a fit. What was the fit about? I couldn't tell you. Poor Matthew also decided to throw a fit. So there I was, not even on the road yet, wedged between the two car seats, unsure of what to do and close to tears myself. After a cooling off period for me, Matthew fed and happy, and of course a happy William, we hit the road.

A little over 2 hours later, we arrived in the happiest place on earth! Both boys were put in their strollers, and we were off and running.

Our luck, our first day was on Leap Day, February 29th, and Disneyland decided, for the first time ever, to open the park for 24hours. The crowd during the day wasn't horrible. The evening was a whole other story. I have never seen so many people! The line into Disneyland stretched all the way to the entrance to California Adventure. The security lines from Downtown Disney and the buses was incredible. The ticket window lines were insane. So, we opted to return to our hotel for the evening. With two little ones, that type of crowd just isn't worth it. Walking to our hotel, there was an endless sea of people, cars were backed up all the way onto I-5. It was nuts!!!

We loved all 3 days, and the days after Leap Day were not as crowded!!! We learned William is not a fan of 3-D movies (we had to leave The Muppets Show early), nor is he a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean. Any line with a 10 minute or less wait was for us. Anything over 10 minutes was asking for trouble. William didn't really understand the wait your turn concept. We were thankful Boomie was there with us. It's amazing what another set of hands can do. Plus, William absolutely loved having her with us! He insisted Boomie push his stroller at all times.

When it was time to leave, we were hit with 2 blowouts by Matthew, William pooping, traffic, and melt downs. We were in the car for well over 5 hours. However, despite the drive back to Ojai, we are already planning our next Disney trip!
