Disneyland reminds me of Christmas because there's something to make everyone happy! Even me...who has hated roller coasters my entire life has a wonderful, magical time at Disneyland! I suppose it's because I so love to see my family happy...and everyone is always happy at Disneyland!
We started out the morning early. We had a 7:30 breakfast reservation at the Disneyland Hotel for breakfast with the characters. Skylar brought her dress-up Elsa (from Frozen) costume and wore it the entire day long. She had it on at breakfast where we hung out with (and took photos with): Pluto, Minnie, Mickey and Goofy.

Everyone was so excited for our day. The weather was absolutely perfect. Slightly cool with no humidity! It felt amazing and such a nice break from Singapore weather.
Hong Kong Disneyland doesn't open until 10:00am so we were at the front of the line at 9:30, waiting for the doors to open to the park. We all ran in as fast as we could and ran (literally) over to the spot to get a reservation to meet Princess Anna and Queen Elsa (from Frozen). We got a card to come back at 10:45 then we ran over to the Toy Story area and were the only ones on the rides there. It sure paid off to get to that area early. Everyone went on a bunch of rides by ourselves before anyone else showed up!
One of the highlights of the day was when Skylar got to meet Anna and Elsa. Elsa is her favorite princess by far so meeting her and talking to her was a big deal for her. She was SO shy and would barely talk to them but she did give them a hug at the end of their meeting so she was starting to warm up to them...they gave her stickers and the whole thing was just picture-perfect!
At the Elsa and Anna meeting area the employees there gave us a "card" for Skylar to have a special spot with all of the princesses in the 3:00 parade, later in the day. We didn't know this...but they pick some little girls in princess costumes to sit in a special section, along the parade path, all lined up in a row. It was the cutest thing ever to see Skylar lined up next to 9 other princesses. She was the only caucasian princess. All of the others were Chinese. I don't think the photos were able to capture how darling these 10 little princesses were, watching the parade go by right in front of them!

Merry Go-Round was fun for all!

| Bailey took some awesome photos today. She is a great photographer! |
We made it to 3 shows, all of which were great, and almost every, single ride in the park today. We were extremely productive. We didn't stop for food until 7:30pm. The food was not very good. I told my kids that with only one day at HK Disneyland we needed to have a "Fun before Food" attitude today.
Two of my favorite quotes from today were:
Jack - on the bus ride home. "Thank you mommy for taking me here today!"
Skylar - at the end of the day getting into bed, "I'm tired a million!"
I love my family!!!! Today was one of THOSE days...in a good way!
