1. You can never bring enough snacks. The kids ate all the fruit leather and honey sticks I brought and drank the juice and milk down to the last drop. It's a pain in the neck to haul the stuff around, but when your kid is starting to get cranky while you're in an interminable line, whipping out a drink or fruit leather buys you some moments of peace and sanity.
2. Driving a double stroller in a crowded Disneyland park is like trying to drive a double decker bus through rush hour L.A. traffic.
3. Layering clothing is totally the way to go.
4. There are a billion people in southern California, and all of them were at Disneyland yesterday.
5. The Christmas parade really is cool, according to Chiara.
6. The battery on the portable DVD player must be able to last at least 3 hours, or it is useless.
7. The Mickey and Friends parking structure is too far away from the park!
8. The line for the Nemo ride is always ridiculously long. I think the only way we'll be able to ever go on it is to get to the park right when it opens. And even then we'll probably have to wait 3 hours.
9. The diaper changing stations at Disneyland are remarkably clean and well-stocked. They are not up to Nordstrom standards, but pretty darn nice, nevertheless.
10. Although we returned to Riverside tired and poorer, nothing beats the joy of a four year old who just saw Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Cinderella and a host of other cartoon characters during the parade. Chiara's joy? priceless
