Disneyland Trip

Hello lovely people! This past June, the mister and I went on a long awaited trip to Disneyland for our 3 year anniversary of dating (: It was so so fun, and I thought I would share some of my favorite moments with you!

The castle!

We ended up staying at the Paradise Pier Hotel---> which Carl had no idea! It was seriously cool, it had a rooftop pool! We got ourselves situated and then headed on over to DISNEYLAND! (BTW, thanks to my dear friend Chelsea for picking us up from the airport...I owe you one! (:)

These are not the droids you are looking for

We look coooool

Of course, Star Tours was the first ride we went on, and may I say it was SO AWESOME. It was the first time I had been on the ride since it was revamped and omg, it blew my mind!

After Dinner at Blue Bayou

Our cheese plate/dessert sampler tray for Fantasmic!

Front row seats for Fantasmic. It was awesome.

For dinner we had reservations at the Blue Bayou, and while we had to wait a little longer for a water side table, it was so worth it! A quick tip: I had the reservations at 5:30 but checked in at 5:00, and the wait for a water table was about 30 minutes, so in the end we were seated basically at the time we had reserved. If you are thinking about doing a water side table, definitely put your name down early--you may get lucky like we did! One thing I had never done before was try the premium viewing area for the Fantasmic show. I was a little skeptical considering it cost extra to get a ticket, not to mention waiting to reserve a seat, but man, I'm glad we did it in the end! We literally were at the front of our viewing section, arrived 20 minutes before the show started, and we greeted with a sampler of desserts and cheeses, not to mention the hot chocolate and coffee! It was more than what I was expecting. Plus, we had a great waiter (yes, you have a waiter!) who was super friendly.

What a couple of characters :P

My hair flying in the wind of Tower of Terror

The next day we went to a character breakfast! We were the only adults there without children but it was still super fun! 

Carb wrapped in pineapple over some type of tomato sauce. MMM

A type of fish with mussels with a mango salsa.

Figs and mushrooms with a cream sauce and a bit of wine reduction sauce.

Main dish= AMAZING. It was steak over this medley of salsa with potatoes...omg. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Anniversary Dessert. yay!

 Then, my favorite part happened. We had dinner at the Napa Rose in The Grand Californian Hotel, and it was magical. I can't eve begin to tell you how amazing that dinner was. We ordered the vintner's table, which is a prefix menu that changes every Friday, and they pair it with wine. I was in heaven. And so was Carl, judging by his little food montage :P

Jedi Master.

Look! We found a vineyard!

Hanging out with Goofy at our hotel :P

All in all the trip was a success! I cant wait until the next time we can go back (:

In other news: my grapes are starting to ripen! They're looking super pretty. I'll be back soon with pictures of their progress!
