We went to Disneyland again this month since it’s our family tradition and it was the end of my family’s annual passes.  This year, we only went to Disneyland (and not CA Adventure), which was plenty for us.

We were smart to borrow Jason and Jia’s double stroller for this visit.  It was a real back saver.

We ventured up to Toon Town, which we hadn’t gone to in a very long time.  When we went to visit Mickey, memories of working there suddenly flooded my head (both good and bad).

The kids took their annual photo with Santa and Peanut was loving his comfy lap.  KK was still a little weary of the man in red but sat next to him and told him she wanted “Octonauts” for Christmas.

One of the best treats I’ve had there was this apple pie funnel cake that all 9 of us shared.

It was so much fun being there with the whole family and it never seems to get old – especially now that we have our own kids to relive the magic and fun.

What’s also nice about having the whole family there is that I actually get to ride some of the faster rides while the grandparents watch the kids.  They were like “mini dates” for us.  This is a photo of me and Jes waiting to board Star Tours.  Jes, the rebel, put his 3D glasses on before we were allowed to.We also rode Hyperspace Mountain with Brother and Joy.  Fun fun fun!

I also love the Christmas decorations all around the park.  Makes Disneyland even more special.

Looked like Peanut enjoyed all the lights and colors too.

Since it was Disneyland’s Diamond Celebration, they had these funny backdrops for us to take photos.  Too bad KK was sleeping because only Peanut made it into these pictures.  Pretty funny stuff.

After dinner, the rest of the family went home and we stayed until closing time.  It was fun taking KK on Dumbo and the rocket ships at night.

We also stayed for the fireworks and watched Fantasmic one last time before they closed it for the building of Star Wars Land.

We may or may not visit Disneyland next year if it’s not worth it.  I’m glad we went one more time this year.
