There’s a reason there is no 4-day park hopper pass at Disneyland: Three days is enough! Admittedly we didn’t cover everything in the park in our three days there, but nonetheless we were burned out on the crowds, the stress, and mostly the deep fried foods. Jody camped out for nearly 2 hours for front-row seats for the fantistic Fantasmic, and I nearly got arrested by the Goofy Patrol (Disney’s secret police force) for walking across the grass while fighting the post-parade crowds one night. Other notables: Emily was pulled up on stage to learn how to perry and thrust a Jedi’s light saber. Patrick sat through the very scary Tower of Terror saying it was his favorite ride but he didn’t want to do it again. By the way, it’s my new favorite too.

The weather was agreeable with only a smattering of rain, and overall we had a great time in the two parks, and the kids will remember this trip for a long time to come. See how much fun we had. Check out the photos on the McClellandfamily.com/Photo Albums page.
