I am finally bringing my piccies from Disneyland out into the interwebz! This post will be my first day at Disneyland/my very first trip to Disneyland! I still feel so lucky that I was able to go. It was my dream for so long, and the experience absolutely exceeded my expectations.
So many wonderful and lucky things happened on July 17, 2013... Minutes before we left, we discovered that it was Disneyland's 58th birthday, I saw Rapunzel in PERSON & cried omg, a disney pirate asked me to join Captain Hook's crew with him, and so much more....
This post is going to be VERY pic heavy~ so let's start!
Pufferfishy faces are the best kind of faces~
my accessories for the day ^ ^ I love my silver sequin minnie ears so much! I didn't get very many OOTD pics, but for future reference: My skirt is from American Apparel, my bralet is from Tilly's, and my shoes are Steve Madden ♡
The first thing you see when you enter the park... Disneyland's train station. ♡
♡♡♡
MY DARLINGGGGGGG!
There was a small stand selling yummy treats & accesories! We stopped so Mariah could buy a pair of ears. She bought the black sequin ears~ I really wanted the hot pink ones, but I couldn't muster up the courage to spend $20 on them... >____>
After we left the kiosk, we entered Mainstreet! There were a lot of characters out that morning. Mainly the original characters, Minnie, Mickey, Goofy, etc~ but yeah....
WE MET PLUTO OMG
he hugged me SO TIGHTLY! Oh my god I was blubbering with excitement I'm pretty sure I could have started to foam at the mouth aJDSFKL~
Mariah with Pluto ^ ^
"Partners" statue... *tears*
OH LORD this castle is so GRAND and ILLUSTRIOUS! My heart was racing with excitement & happiness. This is the moment when my mind clicked. "I'm here. I made it. Dreams come true." ♡
♡!
After going through the castle, we headed to my first Disneyland ride... ever...
After we headed over to Dumbo seat off to the side of ride. I assume it's there for people to camwhore ^ ^ Disneyland is so thoughtful see hahaha
Then after, we headed over to the Peter Pan ride!
Pretty murals! Really added to the magical feeling ^ ^
Our cart for the ride were these ships~ like the ship at the end of the movie! :')
This ride is easily one of my favourites. I cried so many happy tears on it. When I first watched Peter Pan as a child I was absolutely captivated! I watched the movie every single night in hopes that Peter Pan would come to my window, and take me to Neverland with him. This ride really captures that enchantment; I really felt as if Peter took my hand, and led me to Neverland ♡
Most of the rides we went on in the beginning of the day were located in Fantasyland which is the home of mostly storybook rides! I think we managed to go on every single ride, as well as going on some of them multiple times ^ ^ But ya~ it's a really lovely part of the park. Think cobblestone roads & cottages! ♡
Some pics from the ride! This one is also one of my favourites. Before this trip, I had never seen or had any interest in Pinocchio. But after taking a trip through the story, as well as MEETING Pinocchio OMG [more on that later] I became obsessed. I adore Pinocchio! ajdkls!
My first Disneyland meal lol. We went to some place in Tomorrowland I forget what. But I ordered a chicken salad since it was the cheapest/healthiest thing on the menu. It was mediocre~
IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
And in case you forget what my face looks like...
Camwhor on the ride ^ ^ I look so tired and Mariah just looks damn happy wtf
derp
After hours of going from ride to ride we both got a bit restless! So we went over to the theatre to watch a show called "Mickey's Magical Map" it's a gigantic musical that features various disney characters! Mariah and I knew very little about it so we were really excited!
MICKEY SJDFKL!
King Louis performed "I Wanna Be Like You"
Sebastian performed "Under The Sea"
THEN OMG GUESS WHO CAME OUT OH 0MYG OD
I'm sure you can guess which song she sang by the lanterns! I so shocked and happy that I started to cry.
BUT THEN IT GOT BETTER
FLYNN CAME OUT OMG AT THIS POINT I WAS COVERING MY FACE AND BAWLING
I can't even BEGIN to explain what this meant to me. Rapunzel is my favourite Disney princess. I admire her so much, and relate to her more than any of the others. Seeing her on stage just made her REAL. I'm tearing up while typing this I'm such a wuss omg.
:) :) :)
You can also see Mulan and Pocahontas in the background! They performed as well!
Then Tiana came out and wrapped the show up. She's also one of my favourite princesses!! ♡
After the show, we headed down to Mainstreet for a snack & window shopping.
Disneyland food is so cute!!!
Then the parade started! So many wonderful things happened to me during the parade, but unfortunately my camera died lol ofc
Rapunzel, Snow White, Aurora, Belle, & Cinderella were on this float. *fangirl squeal*
Ariel had her own float! Tiana did as well.
STORYTIME ♡
The Neverland crew was featured during this parade. Captain Hook, Smee, Peter Pan, and two pirates danced down the street with Tinkerbell on her float following them. The parade had stopped due to technical issues, so Peter Pan and all the other characters went around and interacted with the crowd. Mariah and I were sitting on the ground, so I didn't expect any of them to come up to us, but I enjoyed their presence anyhow coz HELLO PETER PAN lololol
But, omg. The most handsome pirate came up to me. [not my picture]
He crouched down to my level, held his hand out for mine, and asked me if I was a pirate like him. I of course said yes~ he commented on the "treasure" I wore on my arm [my pearl bracelet & rhinestone bracelet] then he asked me to join Hook's crew and BAM WE GOT MARRIED.
LOLJK. But I may or may not have been a small mess after. I've never seen a pirate with such piercing silver eyes, and don't think I haven't forgot them. He was really charming. Even with that mustache hahaha
Then right after a very familiar boy skipped passed, and messed around with some kids next to us. . . snapped with my trusty iPod!
The parade was back up and running soon enough, so Peter had to take off. But of course, not without sticking his tongue out at me, and then after pulling my minnie ears down to my eyes >____>
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
All in my first trip, I got so many interactions and made so many special memories. My heart is so filled with gratitude & happiness. I am such a lucky gal. I can't even.
As I stated earlier, my camera died during the parade. Mariah and I spent the rest of our time wandering around the park & watching the fireworks show above the castle. ♡ ALSO OMG a cute little old man told me I looked like Marie from the Aristocats!!!! OMGOMGOMG she was my inspiration for my outfit too! GAH~ the things that come with dressing cute ^ ^
My life got even more luckier after as we returned to Disneyland a few days later! :D hehehe Disneyland day 2 post coming soon~ ♡♡♡
tata~!
