I'll admit I thought we were in for quite a wet adventure at Disneyland. We picked up Breckyn from Kindergarten and headed directly there. We listened to the radio on the way and they were throwing around terms like 'bow echo' and 'tornadic'. Of course we are well versed with those terms from living in the Midwest, but it wasn't exactly what we expected to hear in Southern California while driving to Disneyland. The rain and wind got crazy strong, we came upon a fresh accident and then we had to forge several rivers (literally - there were other cars stalled in the middle of it but we were crazy and just decided to go for it).
Upon our arrival and not seeing anybody else entering Disneyland we thought they must have closed the place due to the tornado warning, but no they let us right in! As we boarded the tram hoards of down trodden people looking soaked, sad and wind blown were leaving. They all had the overpriced, plastic, Disneyland ponchos and they just looked whipped. It was barely sprinkling at that point so we just hoped for the best.
I've never seen Disneyland like this. It was deserted! No lines whatsoever. We started in CA Adventure and after zipping through Soarin' Over California twice we came out and the sun was shining! It was seriously a dream come true. Disneyland without people. We couldn't have planned it better if we tried. Even though we were only there for a half day we did way more than we ever have because we never waited for anything. It was a fantastic day!!
My mom was with us so we had plenty of helping hands. Due to my current condition I was sad to not do any of the really crazy rides but Kyle had a brave partner and that would be Breckyn. She didn't really want to go on the Tower of Terror but Kyle talked her into it.
She survived! Although, it wasn't her favorite. She says she'd like to wait until she is 10 years old to try that one again.
I'm afraid we won't be able to top this Disneyland experience for a while! :)

Sounds like a lot of fun!
And your kids have to be some of the CUTEST kids ever!
Wow what a fabulous day! NO lines! We were there last week. Where in California do you live? We should meet up at Disneyland sometime. We've got season passes and try to go as often as possible. It's about a 3 hour drive for us. It would be so fun to see you... it's been forever! Love the pictures! BTW BReckyn is brave... I confess I hve never been on tower of terror!
AWESOME!! Sounds so cool. we were planning on going yesterday but opted to wait until next week when some friends passing through can go with us. We're so worried it won't be like the first time we went when it was empty...finger crossed it's like your experience this week! :)
p.s. can't believe breckyn did that ride...maybe if I show Ella that Breckyn went she'll do it...maybe.
way to go breckyn! such a brave girl you have:) glad you had a dream come true trip to disneyland!
You got so lucky to have the place to yourselves! I LOVE the Tower of Terror!
WE should go together and have a big trip with friends!!
Excited for your baby arrival and hope all will go well.
So happy you have a generous, loving mother who will be there, but if you find yourself needing still some peace or a place for little ones to play, we r just down the street!!

That's cool the park pretty much all to yourself how could you ask for anything more! But it was brave I must say but we have had our share of heading out with not the best weather reports and being happy we braved it cuz not many people are willing to go if the weather "might (say the guessing weatherman at least that how it feels sometimes)" not be good.
