Disneyland with Gramma

School holiday means trip to Disneyland! Gramma's pass is expiring in a week and she's not renewing at this time, so we took advantage of there being no school today and made a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth.The girls received Disney gift cards, as well as DIsney Dollars for Christmas and they've been itching to go shopping. So that was one goal for today. The other thing the girls wanted to do was to work on their Pressed Pennies. They received a 'kit' for doing the Pressed Pennies at the Disneyland Resort complete with a souvenir display book, quarters, and pennies! Hannah chose to do a pressed quarter, but after two failed attempts at the same machine, loosing $2, we gave up on that machine. Thankfully, the nearby Cast Member knew the machine was acting up and replaced Hannah's $2. Hannah recently tried the Indiana Jones ride and loved it! She loves the movies, and loves playing the Indiana Jones Legos Game on the Wii. She really wanted an Indiana Jones whip for Christmas. LOL. It's pretty cool, it snaps and then plays the theme song when cracked correctly. Today, at Disneyland, the price tag said $32.95. Before Christmas, Target had them for $19.99. I found it on Target clearance yesterday for $4.98! Hannah is our little organizer, except for when it comes to her room. LOL. While in line to pay for our purchases, Hannah organized the magnets on the nearby display and groups them together. It was a busy day at Disneyland. Lots of people enjoying the beautiful day and the fact it was a day off for many. We didn't ride any rides today, unless you count the tram ride to and from the parking structure. But we accomplished our goals of shopping and pressed pennies. And at the end of our time, all of us were happy with our treasures!
