My sister-in-law Julie know all the secrets of Disneyland. She got us these buttons for the kids to wear. Apparently, when the characters see a kid wearing this special button they drop everything and flock to this kid. During the parades, all the characters came up to KADEN and REESE and would pose for pictures and give them extra attention...hence Peter Pan here during the parade. It made it so much more magical for the KADEN and REESE.
The Button...
The Button...
The Button...
The Button...
KADEN just kept saying very somberly..."Is that really Lightning McQueen?"
Just as excited about MATER!
Nothing like a high five from PRINCESS JASMINE!
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live on stage. We sat front row center and there was this yellow line they told us we couldn't cross...of course KADEN was jumping up and down so full of excitement...We couldn't hold him back...the "bouncer" escorted him back to his seat like we were at a Nickelback concert!
Now that we're home...REESE has made us watch Little Mermaid about a hundred times...noo joke. She didn't even know who she was before we went to Disney Land!
Belle...
Snow White...
At the end of the day...KADEN and REESE still loved their mouse ears! They still wear them around the house now that we're home!
Autograph from Princess ATTA!
FLIK!
Bumper Cars!
Bumper cars...of course the kids thought it was hilarious to bump into each other!
Mi-th-ter Rabbit...are you home???
KADEN and JONAH with their drivers licenses! We were surprised KADEN didn't ask to drive our car later...
Autotopia! We all want to know when they'll change this ride to the movie CARS! Hopefully soon!
KADEN was freaking out with excitement...that's why he's all blurry and everyone else is clear in the picture! Mickey was by far his favorite. He didn't freak out like this with any other character!
Finally settled down so we could take a pic without him jumping up and down!
The TeaCups!
She wanted to wear all of Grandma's accessories!
Watching the parade with Grandma
Exhausted!
Cousin Jonah spent the night in our Mickey suite. They stayed up and watched this channel that just played Disney cartoons over and over!
Princess Snow White and Princess Arora. Between Minnie and them it was a toss up to which was her fave!
She handed them her autograph book and had a seat. She wasn't going anywhere and she was so happy about it!
The kids were so excited to get autographs.
REESE calls Goofy...Foofy! It's so cute I don't even try to correct her!
REESE just squealed when she met Minnie...I did a little bit too! She just kept stroking her face to make sure she was really there! I couldn't stop laughing!
A proper goodbye with a kiss on the nose!
We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel and splurged for the Mickey Mouse sweet! KADEN and REESE were so happy that it made it so worth it. The first night there we could see and hear the fireworks festival from our balcony.
KADEN got the biggest kick out of this light. Every time you push the button it would say a Mickey phrase and then yank the cord and the light would turn off. We were surprised it still worked when we left. He seriously would turn it off and on a hundred times before falling to sleep.
Apparently, this guy is from Pinnochio. The kids loved him just the same even though they've never seen him before.
And Alice! Seriously 3 ft tall! OK...an exaggeration, but you get the picture!

Hey, this is Rachel Radmacher (Julie's sister in law). Your babes are so beautiful! That is so awesome you guys got the buttons! They make the parades sooo much more exciting for the kids. I might have to take a little credit, I was the one that told Julie about it! We use them everytime we go!
