Disneyland (day 3)

Our final day at Disneyland happened to be the ACTUAL 70th birthday of the park - July 17, 2025. Crazy that Disneyland Resort in Anaheim has been around since 1955. As I researched a little, this is the only park that Walt Disney actually visited.

The other parks include: Walt Disney World, Florida (1971), Tokyo Disneyland (1983), Disneyland Paris (1992), Tokyo DisneySea (2001), Hong Kong Disneyland (2005) and Shanghai Disneyland (2016).

So, without further ado, I give you our final day at the Magic Kingdom! Enjoy!

Some of the cousins in the morning in the hotel with Grandpa Tim, who is wearing his Grumpy hat.

The view of the resort from our hotel room.

The last day we decided to wear our Disneyland Family Trip 2025 shirts. I love this crew!

Nova and Collins ready for the day’s adventure. Such sweet sisters. Aren’t they the cutest?!!!

Tonio and Django enjoying the ride into the park.

Jungle Cruise is a staple, and we had a pretty fun guide. I took screen shots from a video, so this moment could live here on the blog. We all had some good laughs!

Waiting in line for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. It broke down while we were so close to the front. We prayed, and God answered our prayers! We were able to get on the ride. It was incredible!

Me and Django representing on this transport pod. I was so proud of him. At the end, he said, “That was a little scary, but I liked it.”

Happy camper with his Coca-Cola bomb and his droid friends next to him.

I love watching the kids’ faces as they take in the wonder of the different rides.

At one point, the ride stopped, and we had music blasting in our ears. Tonio won! He pulled these headphones out of his bag. Sarah snapped a picture. I’m laughing hysterically. The humor eased the pain of the song on repeat. Haha!!!

Merida from Brave blowing a kiss to Daphné and Rowyn. Rapunzel, Jasmine and Sleeping Beauty are also on the float.

Poor Rowdy had a fever, so Django was happy to join him in the hotel after a LEGO purchase with Papa.

Rocky enjoys the teacups with her mama and her new Star Wars creature stuffy.

Rowyn, Daisy Duck and Daphné - they all match!

Nova got some pictures with Princess Elena of Avalor, Ariel, Cinderella and the Evil Queen from Snow White.

Rocky and Chelsey enjoying the carousel.

Daphné and Rowyn ready for a wild ride with Mr. Toad.

Sarah and Nova charge the drop on what used to be Splash Mountain.

We are ready for our turn to drop in on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

This picture makes me laugh so hard. Chelsey and Rocky are in the very back, Paula our family friend, my dad, me, Daphné and Rowyn.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, here we go!!!

Rowyn and I screaming and having so much fun on Thunder Mountain.

Meanwhile, Rocky, Chelsey and Daphné enjoyed the Winnie-the-Pooh ride.

Teacups! Would you believe this picture was taken at 7:30pm? We were trying to squeeze all the fun we could out of the day.

Grandpa Tim, Rocky and Chelsey in a teacup next to us.

We met a sweet couple in line for Alice in Wonderland. They gave Rowyn and Daphné two pins to trade and shared some of their Disney insider tips. Thank you!

And the last photo of the day, a blurry ride on Alice in Wonderland. We had fun and were ready to head back to the hotel to get in the pool and hot tub. We signed off at 8pm, but the park stayed open until midnight. Yowzers!

What a fun time had by all! Thank you Jesus for opportunities like this. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa again for blessing all of us. Thank you Tonio for being on my team. So thankful!
