Last week I went on my first long work trip coordinating two fun product launch parties in Los Angeles and San Francisco. After a week of traveling and working 12+ hour days, I took the first flight home and Tuan, Parker and I drove straight to Anaheim to use up the last day on our passes. I have to say that they SoCal 3 day/3 park special Disney offered was a great investment and I really enjoyed all the time we spent at the parks. It felt like a mad dash to fit in the last day before June 6 but we did it! I guess the best part of not being able to do everything in the park in one day is that there was always a brand new experience in store for Parker on our subsequent trips.
[Parker's first time on the Little Mermaid Ride was very exciting. Short, fast moving lines, fish, bubbles and ducks. Those are all of his favorite things.]
[Tuan picked up the same Mickey shirt Parker has on our last trip. This time around they were shirt twins and Parker kept poking the Mickey on daddy's shirt.]
[Our first time watching the Aladdin show. It was great! Parker freaked out when he saw the giant cave head though.]
[The Aladdin show is 45 minutes long. Apparently that is too long for Parker because he fell asleep during the show.]
[I broke all the rules and ate this glorious carb overload pretzel with Tuan. At least we shared it!]
[The Play Parade was a big hit. I had no idea the floats shot water at the crowd. No one seemed to mind though since it was a warm day.]
[Balling his fists in excitement. He danced the whole time.]
[We left the park and went back to our hotel after the parade because we could not handle the millions of high school kids who were there for Grad Night.]
We decided to have dinner outside of the park and went to Umami Burger located in the Anaheim Packing District. This was our first time visiting and I was a little skeptical since one of the Yelp reviews I read said the place was not kid friendly. Whoever wrote that review could not have been more wrong. We were seated promptly, our waitress brought over a high chair, coloring page and crayons for Parker and we had our food in 10 minutes.
We are definitely going back to experience the Packing District in its entirety. It's too bad we were there the day before the grand opening and did not have a chance to taste the offerings of all the other vendors.
[Truffle fries]
[Tuan's "manly burger"]
[After dinner we went to Joe's Italian Ice for dessert. The nice employee gave Parker a free mini cone of soft serve and he loved it. He loved it so much he ate the entire thing, cone and all. It was a hot mess.]
[Tuan's mango tango and my bada bing cherry]
[Enjoying the fireworks in our pajamas from our room. Parker kept saying "OOOhhh". It was so cute.]
[Can you spot the hidden Mickey?]
[Unlike last time, we came prepared for pool time on this trip.]
[Bundled up like a burrito. I think he's still on the fence about whether or not he likes swimming. Hopefully that changes once we start swim lessons later this month.]
