Another day, another Disneyland (day 5)

After a restful day and a good night's sleep, we decided to get up and at 'em early for another day at Disneyland! This day happened to be our Extra Magic Hour so we actually "had to" get up and to the park an hour earlier than our usual. (See what I did there..."had to")  As tough as it was to get our family up and going, we made it work and got to the park well in advance of the extra hour opening. But when we got there it seemed everyone had the same idea. As we passed through security one of the agents was commenting on how the crowd was the largest she had seen in a long time. Wonderful. Josh and I had big plans to make the most of this special "extra" hour in the park and ride a few rides that we had not been able to the last time because the wait times were too long (and no fast pass available). Buuuuuuuuuuuut, before we even got into the park we realized that those plans needed to be thrown out the window if we were going to make the most out of the day! So despite the epic crazy crowds and despite our extra magic hour being spent waiting in line to get in (not-even-kidding), our crew had another wonderful day!

This is what Disneyland will do to a baby...she didn't want to wake up!!
