Last week my husband and I surprised our kids with a trip to Disneyland. It was nearly impossible to keep a fun secret like that for four months, but we had a completely perfect winter | birthday | Valentine’s day | just because family getaway.

Here are four fun facts from our stay at the house of mouse.

1. I do not wait in lines (well). Ok, moving on….

2. There is no better feeling on earth than having to hold the hand of one of my small humans all day, every day, for days on end. It was delicious.

3. Speaking of delicious, I heart these Mickey Mouse ice cream bars. I had one each afternoon. And I am now in full-blown withdrawal. I wonder if Disney ships???

4. There may have been 30 or 40 thousand other people there with us, but I swear there was a bubble around our little party of 4. And that….was magical.

Make it a zippety-do-dah day, my friends!
