Happiest Place on Earth

Erik had his first week of vacation in November, and we live with a princess-obsessed child only 6 hours from Disneyland.  No-brainer, right?  For Morgan anyway.  We had all sorts of other considerations - money - will she even remember any of it? - naps - 10 month old child - naps - money - but in the end it all worked out.  Morgan has been preparing for this her entire life; she just didn't know it.


On our first of 3 days, we walked into the park and immediately met Alice and the Mad Hatter, who swept Morgan up into a dance.  That's kind of how our trip was - random moments of Disney fortuosity.

These pictures (lots and lots of them) should give you a good idea of how our time was spent: waiting in line to meet Morgan's heroes - and a few of Erik's.  There had better be princesses in Heaven, or Morgan will be disappointed.






One of our highlights: while waiting in line to meet Donald, she turns to me and says, "Mom, Donald Duck is real!" all full of wonder.  Sure, sweetie.


The pinnacle of Morgan's entire life.  She's still talking about it, and how Briar Rose invited her to the castle to play.


"I'm three!"

Random Cinderella mouse that somehow Morgan could name.  




"I want a horse.  A real one.


Mary Poppins and Bert randomly walking down the street.  We couldn't get near, so we stalked them and ambushed them in a quiet moment.  Disneyland MASTERS!


Erik's hero - Morgan had no idea who she was holding hands with.

And then all of Erik's dreams came true...

I DO want to know how you tricked Morgan into coming home, though....
