The Diz Overnight Experiment....

In the lobby of the Grand Californian... 'These chairs are PERFECT for me!"

Our Disneyland Big Station House had bunk beds!  Danni loved them almost as much as I did!

Danni didn't wait her turn on the ladder!

She liked it that the bathroom had a little shelf that was a perfect step for her to reach the sink....

After destroying our room, we headed into DCA for some Bug's World fun!

Sharing smiles with Mommy...

Danni and Daddy trying to resist centripetal force...

Making a bug face...

She rode on a fishie!  I refused to ride this Up&Down because it didn't have horsies (only sea horsies -- it was all ocean themed... BOO!)

Mommy makes waiting in line FUN!

Watching the Ferris Wheel

Almost a decent family shot....

Getting ready for the Gadget Go Coaster!

Excited for the 'Little Fast Train'

Would you believe in all of our trips to the Diz, we've NEVER met Mickey?  His house in Toon Town was EMPTY so we finally got to see him.  I was afraid...  Danni wasn't tooooo sure about him either...

I'm a good photographer, huh?

Love the 'spinners'  (a.k.a. Tea Cups!)

Bambi visited our room and left chocolates!!!  JUST what we need to put us to sleep!

Can you tell that it was a long night?!

First night in a big girl bed... Or I should say first night in and out and in and out of a big girl bed!

Watching cartoons before checking out!

We loved the Magic Morning perk of being a hotel guest.  I went on Dumbo 4 times in a row!!

Finally found my vanilla horsie!

They've added new hand rails and foot holders steps...  More reasons to love the Up&Down!

Danni helped spin!

Dizzy Z!

Danni giggled the entire time!

Saving the best for last!
Daddy has always wondered what it would be like to spend the night with the 4 of us in one hotel room.... so we decided to try it... in style!  We got a room at Disney's Grand Californian ... spent the day before roaming the parks, watched World of Color (way past our bedtime), then spent the night together in the room before heading back into the parks the next day.  Daddy's experiment was going beautifully... until about 1:30 a.m. when Danni decided that it was time to escape her big girl bed.  From there, the night got progressively more sleepless.  Danni took full advantage of her ability to escape her bed....  :)  I was the only one who got a decent night's sleep!  On the bright side, we REALLY liked the Grand Californian -- the room had bunk beds for us!!  And the World of Color (a.k.a. 'Dark Garket Show') was amazing!  Daddy wants to try this experiment again when Danni's a little bit older.  Mommy and I think that we just might get our own room to stay in instead!  ;)
