Day 7- Disneyland Honeymoon photo shoot and day in the parks with everyone!

March 31

Today Matt and I got up early to do a honeymoon photo shoot in Disneyland with Sarina (Sarina Love photography). She is great and we were so excited to be working with her! She actually was just on the Food Networks Worst Cook in America show, so it was like working with a mini celebrity. We met her at 8am just outside Disneyland and headed in to start. I was a little worried about crowds since it was a Saturday morning during Spring Break season but we got lucky:) We shot on main street, New Orleans sq area, Frontierland, the teacups and carousel ride and some other scenic shots around the park. So far we just have proofs (I will post nicer ones later) but they are great!!!

















 We shot with Sarina for an hour and a half and then we parted ways. It was so much fun to do a park shoot- and she was great to talk to (got some inside scoop on reality tv workings)!

We met up with Sarah and the kids at 9:45 who were waiting in line for rope drop in California Adventure park. At 10:00 we all ran for Toy Story Mania which was not a fastpass ride and the lines get crazy and stay long all day. We got there with maybe a 5 or 10 minute wait!! After that we headed over to Goofys Sky School- a roller coaster that Piper really wanted to ride. We did it twice while Aidan watched from the side lines:)









After that we headed over to Disneyland to ride Small World, Jungle Cruise, let the kids play at Tarzan’s tree house then Grizzly River Rapids (kids got soaked!!). We went back to our villa to make lunch and enjoy the hot tub. Matt and I went on a store run to get wine to take with us on the cruise (they let you bring your own alcohol) while Sarah had the kids rest a bit.


We went back to Disneyland late afternoon and rode Pirates (a favorite of all), Haunted Mansion and Indiana Jones. Piper ended up crying on this ride even though she loves thrill rides and used to love this ride as well. I think she was just tired.


We carried her back to the hotel (thank god for a 5 minute walk back) and we made dinner for everyone. The kids had baths then Mickey Bars that we bought for them and then laid down while the grown ups repacked for the cruise. It was a pain!

Sarah and I then attempted to go on a late night shopping run at World of Disney but it was raining and the crowds were awful! We grabbed sundaes for us grown ups at Haagen Dazs and then back to the villa. Tomorrow is the cruise, but first we are doing Disneyland in the morning!
