Disneyland Day 3

Now Old Pros at the land of Disney.  

We found our favorite rides and got any we missed.  We chilled watching the parade and eating ice cream too.  We worked on our button collections.  Dad's and favorite ride Tower or Terror. Mom's favorite ride Space Mountain and Cars.  Sophia's and Gabe's favorite California Screaming. Liam's favorite ride Splash Mountain.  Eva's favorite ride It's a small world (They were a bunch of small people like her.)   

When at Disneyland…

1-churros and ice cream are ok for dinner.
2-don't underestimate the power of the fast pass.
3-there is pride in passing the long line in the fast pass lane.
4-child swap passes save the day and kids get double the fun!
5-there's a balance in drinking enough to hydrate but not too much for too many potty breaks. 
6-there's power in taking a siesta in the afternoon.
7-never give anything of value to your baby. They may drop it and be lost forever. (Namely our only binkie ).
8-it's a small world is actually quite a long world with a small squawking baby, who just lost her binkie.
9-take food break right before parade and show times. Find a good spot for the show and eat.
10-7 years old is the magic age to ride with another child, 6 must have an adult.
11-take a fast pass runner with you. One who has endurance and logic to manage the passes.
12-try not to be the parent the whole time.  Relax and play in the rides with your kids.
