My trip to Disneyland, CA

My AWESOME hubby took me to LA this year for my birthday. We were in LA for about 6 days. So of course I would pick to visit Disneyland on the day of :)  I love Disney so I was super excited to go! I was also hoping to score some Stitch stuff!

We decided to hit up my favorite ride first...HAUNTED MANSION!
I love the fact that this layout is different from the Haunted Mansion in Disney World.  I can actually see the WHOLE mansion right up front! I want to see it when it's all decked out for Halloween...

Haunted Mansion...
















Another ride that Disney World doesn't have is the Storybook ride, I think this ride is awesome. It's so whimsical.  I love how everything is miniature!

Entering through the whale's mouth...heeelp!

Disneyland Hotel Mansion Pins















It was a great time, although the park was quite crowded so we had to use our fast passes a lot. The only thing I saw of Stitch that I don't have is the Stitch pillow buddy plush.  I didn't get that though 'cuz it's kinda big and wasn't sure it would fit in my luggage.

I did score some Haunted Mansion stuff.  I got some cool pins that are exclusive to Disneyland and a cool Haunted Mansion letter box.

Haunted Mansion Letterbox

The letter box we had to get shipped cuz that is just way too big to fit into the luggage. It looks really awesome in person.  I was really deciding on this box for a long time because it was kinda pricy and the shipping wasn't cheap either. Every time we went into a store I was looking at it and deciding in my head if I should or shouldn't.  My awesome hubby got this for me as another birthday gift!  He saw how much I wanted it and said "lets get it shipped".  Hooooray!

Sleeping Beauty Castle
The fireworks at Disneyland were incredible!  Tinkerbell was flying above the castle along with Dumbo!  I was awe-struck! It truly was magical! I wish I took a photo of it! 


We also went to the Californian Adventure. That was a cute lil' park too! I love the Monsters Inc ride! It was so cute!  We rode on the Ferris Wheel and I was nervous 'cuz I'm afraid of heights.  Funny enough the couple that was sharing the booth with us, the husband was afraid of too much motion.  I tried not to look down to much but I did.  I tried to master my fear, but I felt my feet and hands start to sweat :(

California Adventure



We watched World of Color, that was very pretty and the music was great.  I saw this guy with a Stitch plush backpack.  I wanted to grab it and run! lol I love Stitch!


Overall, it as a great trip.  I had the most awesome Korean BBQ in K-town and we also went to Napa Rose for dinner.  The scallops are to die for.  I just wish it didn't go by so fast. Hopefully next time we go we can stay on Disney property.  The hotels looked beautiful.

Btw, traffic in LA is horrible. LOL.
