Disneyland & Medieval Times

Our Christmas present from Justin’s parents was a trip to Disneyland and Medieval times, which we thought was fabulous. The trip started Saturday morning and ended Sunday night in LA. We thought for JD’s sack, we’d better split up the driving times. He did so well the entire trip.

This was JD’s first Disneyland trip and he loved every minute of it! Whenever we thought he was tired, we’d put him in his stroller, hoping he’d eventually fall asleep. However, that wasn’t the case. He was just so fascinated by everything that was going on that he couldn’t fall asleep. He wanted to take in every moment of it.

We did a lot of stuff while we were there, even with all the crowds. We went on Buzz Lightyear, the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Jungle Cruise, The Little Mermaid ride, Small World, and Justin and I switched off baby duty and rode Tower of Terror and the new Star Tours. Ok, maybe that doesn’t look like a whole lot, but considering how long we stayed there and the lines that we encountered, it felt like it was a lot. We got there at 9 am, and our original plan was to stay until 10 or 11 pm, or until JD just couldn’t take it anymore. However, it wasn’t JD who couldn’t take it anymore, it was Justin and I who were just so exhausted that we left at 6:30!

It was definitely a fun trip though, and we made sure we got JD his first set of Mickey ears, and the main pictures in front of the castle, and the main entrance to Disneyland. It was too crowded to stop and take pictures, so I don’t have very many of us/him in the park. 

The next day, Tuesday, we were lucky enough to have Sean and Rachel baby sit JD while Justin and I went to Medieval times (thanks again Sean and Rachel!) It was a lot of fun as well, and the food was surprisingly delicious. We were on the Red & Yellow team, and our knight wasn’t doing so hot in any of the games they did, and he was the second person to die in the jousting festivities…. Still fun though! We upgraded our tickets to premium seating, and got our slice of cake (more like an apple turnover type thing). We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on the trip, and had lots of fun! Thank you Gerry and Kelly for our awesome Christmas Present!
