Our final day at the Disneyland Resort was a Saturday, which was waaaay busier than the previous two days we'd spent in the park. Lines were much longer, so we did much less. But, it worked perfectly since our plan was to take things slow on this last day, go back and revisit our favorites and even spend some time off park property enjoying lunch and taking afternoon naps.
At park open we visited Toon Town and saw a short program featuring all the classic characters. Then we got to meet Minnie Mouse and tour her house.
This was the day Ella had her "Disney Birthday", but it was also the day Dave and I got married 12 years ago! There was no better way to celebrate an anniversary than being in such a magical place, having a blast with the family we made together. Ella was kind enough to take a few pictures of her parents, the old married couple.
We caught the incredible parade for the second time, this time with a better view. Another favorite memory of mine is looking up at the girls, riding high on our shoulders to see, and watching them excitedly wave to the characters and sing their little hearts out to the songs they know so well from their favorite movies. Of course, the Rapunzel tower float with all the princesses riding on it was a hit with the girls. I loved the Mary Poppins float, complete with a whole street of dancing chimney sweeps.
I was so happy that Ella was excited to try all the big rides with us. Favorites on her list were Splash Mountain, Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Each time she'd try a new ride, we'd worry that it was too much for her, but when we exited our vehicle she'd yell, "THAT WAS AWESOME!" and hop right back on with whoever was waiting to switch off.

I feel I've barely scratched the surface in recapping the 3 fantastic days we spent at Disneyland, but this will serve to record our best and most favorite memories. If you aren't totally Disney-ed out at this point, be sure to click on our slide show for more fun pictures!
