Disneyland 2012 Day 2 - Halloween Party

We got tickets for Mickey's Trick or Treat Party.

We had a family theme with our costumes: Peter Pan!

Mom: Wendy

Xander: Peter

Mara: Jane

Jaina: Tinkerbell

 

 

 

 

We met up with family and waited in line to get our pic with the giant pumpkin! 

 

Sadly, this is the ONLY full group picture we got the entire trip.

Mana: Sorcerer Mickey, Karri: Cinderella, JD: Gus, Chris: Jac, Brent: Cheshire Cat, Lisa: Alice, Max: Mad Hatter, Conli: White Queen, Sawyer: Queen of Hearts. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Waiting for the Tea Cups at night! 

 

 

 

 

 

This was Jaina's favorite ride EVER!!  

She demanded it every day. 

 

 

 

Princesses and their new crowns. 

 

 

 

Quick family pic at the end of the night. We lasted until just about midnight and Jaina did a great job too, except for being DONE with her costume half way through the night, so she was just a jacket and tights.

Day 2:

We were able to spend the morning, just us, doing what we wanted, while the rest of the family went to Universal Studios.

 

Jaina is ready to go!!!

 

 

The girls and I were doing some shopping and ran into Minnie Mouse!!

It was perfect because there was NO line for pictures!

Jaina just LOVES Minnie Mouse!!

 

 

We got to go on Toy Story Midway Mania, and the kids loved it! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then onto the Monorail to head to the other park. 

 

Dad took the big ones on Star Tours! 

 

Then we headed to Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters 

 

 

 

 

 

The boys went off on an adventure, while me and the girls waited for a least an hour to meet Tinkerbell and Periwinkle. 

 

 

Gotta love the Tea Cups! 

 

Got to meet more princesses too!

Disneyland 2012 Day 1

Wow! I did it again. I am a year behind.

It's time to get caught up.

In October of 2012, we (all the adults in the Ramey family) planned a combined family trip to Disneyland, but kept it a secret from ALL the kids!!!  It was quite a task, but it paid off tremendously!!  The kids didn't even know their cousins were there until they saw them in the park. It was great!!!

 

My mom drove with us, and the rest of the family drove in at different times and met up separately. We were the last to arrive. 

 

 

When the kids saw each other they ran through a crowd of people to hug each other!! 

 

 

Our first order of business was 'the Ariel ride' as per Mara. 

 

It was a great payoff to be in Disneyland ALL together. 

 

Karri got lanyards and pins for the kids, so they could trade and start their own collections. 

 

Mara was trying to be brave as we attempted Goofy's Sky School, but to no avail. She and I got off and waited for the rest of the family.  

 

What do we do when the rest of the family is on a roller coaster??

Ride King Triton's Carousel!! 

 

The boys going on Screamin' 

 

 

 

 

This is one of my favorite pictures from the trip.

Jaina just LOVED Mater's Junkyard Jamboree. 

 

Once again, going on an easy ride, while others did the big ones. 

 

 

 

I got to go on Radiator Springs Racers with my big kids!

It was fantastic!!!

 

Boys going on The Tower of Terror!
