A few weeks before Ellie's Birthday she came to me and asked, "How do we get to Disneyland? Do we fly on Elephants?" Apparently she had seen a
commercial where people were flying to Disneyland on Dumbo. Ellie had been bugging to go to Disneyland for awhile and had been told countless times that 4 year
olds don't get to go, but 5 year
olds could. So I decided it would be
a lot of fun to take her when she turned 5, so on October 17 we took Ellie to Disneyland.
The first ride we went on was Buzz
Lightyear. Ellie really had fun shooting at all the targets, but it wasn't what she wanted to do. She wanted to see the Princesses. First we went and saw Tinker Bell and her friend Silver Mist. Ellie was so excited to see Tinker Bell, she gave her a hug and talked to her about her Birthday. The next stop we made was to see some of the Princesses! It happened to be the longest line we waited in that day, but it was worth it! Ellie was in heaven! We also got to see Tiger, Pooh, Minnie and Mickey! Seeing all the characters was by far Ellie's favorite thing about Disneyland.
Ellie really wanted to play this western shooting game. She was
able to hit a tombstone and was so proud of herself!
We took Ellie on Space Mountain. She did really good while on the ride, but as soon as we got off it she started crying! She didn't like it, I wasn't surprised.... I didn't use to like it either! We also took Ellie on Thunder Mountain, Brian said that he could feel her heart beating really fast during the ride. When we got off it Ellie did not cry, she liked it! And for a brief period of time she considered it her favorite ride. The submarine ride where you get see
Nemo became her favorite later on that night.
We also got to see the Fireworks, but that was for Brian and I.... Ellie does not like fireworks! She put her face on my shoulder and didn't watch any of it. We let Ellie pick out a Birthday present before we left the park. She picked out a Tinker Bell art kit, which she has been using almost non stop since we have gotten back! The next day Ellie woke up and asked me if we could go to Disneyland again! I told her we could go again someday. Disneyland was a lot of fun, it really is magical for kids.

This picture was taken in front of It's a Small World. Ellie really enjoyed seeing all the singing dolls and trying to find the Disney Characters hidden throughout the ride. Some other rides Ellie enjoyed were Dumbo (we rode it twice), the Tea Cups, the Space Ship ride that is very similar to Dumbo, and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Sounds like you had lots of fun. I can't believe she's 5 now.
