Our third day at Disneyland was Leap Day and they were having a big celebration called One More Disney Day! We all got special buttons when we entered the park and we saw a lot of people wearing shirts that said "I took the leap and didn't sleep!". In honor of Leap Day the main park was open 24 hours...crazy! We started that day with our breakfast with Minnie and then after a few rides met up with Rob & Melissa's family and headed to lunch and the beach. It was pretty windy and cold but the younger kids loved playing in the sand and some ventured out into the ocean up to their knees...they were brave, I think I only made it to my shins :) The worst things about our beach day was that we were way to far from the car/potty when we needed it! Oh well...having an accident at the beach is way easier to deal with than at Disneyland!
When we got cleaned up and headed back to the park we spent the evening at California Adventure (which had regular hours that day). It seemed a little busier than normal but we didn't think much of it. When California Adventure was closing our plan was to go back to our hotel, put the girls to bed and Dave and Jolynn would stay with them while we headed back to partake of some 24 hour Disney fun. Apparently we didn't realize just how big of a deal this day was...when we came out of California Adventure the line to get into Disneyland stretched from the main gates all the way back to the California Adventure gates!!! The park was filled to capacity!!! I can't even imagine how busy a filled to capacity Disneyland would be! So we put the girls to bed and got some ice cream instead :)

We were in D-Land the night they turned all the Christmas lights on and had the Christmas parade a few years ago. I had never seen it so crowded! It was nuts! It was probably the same as Leap Day.
What a fun and memorable trip! We were in Disney for the 1st day they decorated for Halloween and I thought that was busy! :0 The beach looked fun even if it was cold. That's probably my favorite vacation right there! Glad you're back and you had a great time!
