Disney Day 3

Our last and final day at Disneyland may have been my favorite.  We had promised both the kids we would do something special for them for their birthday's at Disneyland.  We rode a few rides together first thing and then each of us took a kid for their special time.  For Sadi this meant the brand new, just opened Anna and Elsa boutique for a fairy godmother makeover!  I had bought her an Elsa dress to wear this day as her surprise.
These godmothers could not believe how thick her hair was.  She really got the royal treatment having two of them to pamper her.  Just to give you an idea of how much hair this girl has, I saw 4 other girls come and go in the time they did hers...just saying, my job ain't easy.
 Nails painted, and makeup...wasn't sure about this part, but they made it very tasteful. 
 With a wave of her magic glitter wand and some magic words I can't repeat...
 It was time for the reveal.
 As they spin the girls around they all sing "Let it go".  This was her first look at herself.
The end result was amazing.  Shockingly this stayed in for a few days, and I have no idea what kind of magic bottle they used but no tangles!
We skipped around Disneyland just doing what Sadi wanted.  We stopped in the Tiki room for a pineapple whip..yum.
Then we had one special ticket to go meet Elsa!  We kind of ran into the line for this first thing in the morning.  You have to have a fast pass to meet her, and if you aren't in line first thing in the morning you won't see her.  They sell out in about 15 minutes.  Outside her house Olaf talks to you..pretty funny.
I think Sadi was star struck, she thought Elsa was so beautiful.  They both commented on how frozen her hair was.  They really kept in character and made me laugh as they talked about chocolate.
This was a dream come true for her, and she talked all day about how cool it was to meet Elsa.
 They may have given her some magical powers to freeze this place.
 Luckily we have enough love to melt it.
It was especially magical to have so many Disney employees address her as "your Majesty" or say things like "Oh Queen Elsa thank you for traveling all the way from Arendelle to be here with us".  Really made her day.  While we sauntered around we ran into a few characters like Tigger, who was bouncing to see Elsa.
And Rabbit who made fun of the person in front of us for asking where his pumpkins were...silly kid don't you know it's carrot season!
Chase was off with Dad trying to get into the Jedi academy.  He didn't get picked.  I told him it was because he was wearing the dark side shirt...he agreed.  He did get to ride California screaming over and over..no line.  He loved it!
We let the kids set the pace this last day and let them choose which rides they wanted to repeat.  Sadi was insistent we ride Indiana Jones.  Even with Dad driving the jeep Chase still was in the fetal position.  I still haven't figured that one out...1000 miles and hour and upside down?  Okay.  A few fake spiders on the wall.  No way.
 We cruised the river and saw some wildlife.
 Stopped in New Orleans for some Mickey shaped beignets...delicious, and hot!
Pretty sure these two pumpkins of ours had a great time.
We took them to downtown Disney so they could spend their last few bucks then headed back to the hotel.  They stayed up late that night playing with their new treasures.
 Finally it was lights out....
 I'm always so sad when vacation is over.  Back to the grind!
