Saying goodbye to Disneyland is never easy. Even after five days, we still could have easily found more things to do. The good news is that we did get to go on all the rides we wanted, some even multiple times. We also saw pretty much all the parades and shows on our must see list (minus Fantasmic!, which we will have to catch on our next trip). I initially worried that five days may be too long, and that we would get burnt out, but that was definitely not the case. If you haven't been to Disneyland in a long time, or it's your kids first time, I think five days is pretty much the ideal amount of time. Since we did and saw virtually everything on our list, we can just focus on our favorite rides/shows next time around. I have to say that December is the perfect time to visit, as the holiday decorations and festivities really make Disneyland extra special. I wish we could go every Christmas.
Our final day was perfect. We spent our time in California Adventure Park at Paradise Pier, we watched the Aladdin play (which was fantastic), explored the Sorcerer's Workshop, and capped the night off with the amazing World of Color show. The show was great, though I really wish we had better seats. We could see alright, but we weren't in the front row and the girls has to be held by daddy the entire time to see. What they did see they enjoyed. Disney spares no expense in creating the most fun and incredible experience for both kids and adults. We were truly wowed by the entire experience, and perhaps the best part is that our entire trip was paid for by redeeming credit card points, yay. When I asked Elise, if she wants to go to Disneyland again, she was one step ahead of me and said, "momma, next time we need to go to Disneyworld". Yep, we're in trouble!
