Schedules

Basically our schedule during our week at Disneyland was very little sleep and a whole lot of playing. We would get up each morning (as early as we could make ourselves) and have breakfast at the condo. Then I would pack the strollers full of fruit bars, granola bars, bottles of water, and capri suns. Then we'd make the mile long walk to Disneyland.


We would ride as many rides as we could, and eat our snacks throughout the day, then go home for a late lunch/early dinner around 4. Nate and Aaron would usually sneak in a nap around this time.



We'd spend a few hours at home getting rested up and eat dinner. Then we'd bundle up to go back for the night. I didn't bring coats, thinking it would be warm. And it was warm during the days--we wore shorts and t-shirts and felt great while the sun was out. But when the sun went down each night, it got pretty chilly. So when we went back in the evenings, we wore layers of clothes. I'd make the kids put on 3 shirts, a jacket, and wrap a blanket around them (which made them complain about so many clothes, but kept them warm). Then we'd make the mile walk for a third time that day back to Disneyland and usually stay till closing time.

The final walk back home at the end of the night was always the longest and most tiring. Most of the time Savannah had to push my stroller so I could give Sara (and one time Josh) a piggy back ride home. I was so thankful we had two strollers so the little boys didn't have to walk. And I was amazed at how well our older kids did toughing out so much walking. I figure we walked at least 8 miles every day (with all the walking in the park too). Next time we go to Disneyland, we'll go when it's not busy, so we will only have to spend half as much time there. Then we can afford to spend twice as much on a hotel and stay in one of the actual Disneyland hotels right next to the park.
