We Met THE Mouse!

Aside from the birth or Marcus and my wedding day, April 16, 2014, ranks near the very top as one of the best days of my life. One of my favorite bloggers, and real life friend, Sally, her son Mace, Marcus and I headed to Disney Land!

If you've been following along for awhile you know that Marcus is a HUGE Mickey Mouse fan. Huge. Marcus could possibly be the Mickey Mouse Fan Club President. For real. So, when it was decided that we were headed to the Happiest Place on Earth, I COULDN'T WAIT!

First things first. We had to meet the main man. After a short wait there we were, high fiving only the most famous mouse in all the whole world.

Marcus was totally star struck by Mickey. Seeing the amazement in his eyes as he met his favorite mouse made my heart explode. That moment alone made the entire trip.

A few more photo ops were obviously necessary before we tackled the park.

And then Sally showed us the ropes of Disney. She knew then ins and outs of the whole place. We had fast passes and single rider lines all figured out and down to a science. I'm not kidding when I say had it not been for Sally we would probably STILL be standing in some of those lines.

Though the boys may not have understood where we were, or what exactly we were doing, I fully believe they understood the excitement that buzzed through Disney. It's almost as if that place has a pulse that you can't help but feel when you're there.

These boys knew we were in a magical place. Just look at those faces!

3: Waiting for our turn to ride Dumbo.
4: FINALLY - we made it to Dumbo!
5: It's a Small World
6: Wrapping up the Winnie the Pooh ride.

Seriously, if you're planning a trip to Disney (either park), and are looking for tips, tricks, and pointers, you need to talk to Sally. She can hook you up with insider info!

There were a few other rides sprinkled in there, a brief stint watching a parade, and of course lots of Disney food and drinks.

Ever had a Dole Whip? Pineapple ice cream in pineapple juice. Oh.my.gosh. There are no words…

Little man and Mace did so awesome. I can't sing enough praises as to how well those two boys did. With daily routines thrown to the wind the boys just rolled with the flow.

Nap times, lunches, snacks, and even games of peek-a-boo, all while strolling around most of the day.

Disney really is magic. And dreams really DO come true, just ask these cuties!

I'm ready to go back! Who's with me?
