For Sydney's 9th birthday we spent the whole weekend at Disneyland. A few weeks ago I won a raffle for a 2 night stay at the Disney Marriott. Perfect timing! We used it for celebrating Sydney's birthday. My mom kept Carly so we packed up and headed just 20 miles away to the happiest place on earth. Friday night there were the fireworks and then rides until midnight. We were back to the park by 9 am Saturday morning. Our neighbors and Sydney's friend Molly came and spent all day with us. On Sunday, which was Sydney's actual birthday she got a pin as soon as we entered the park. The pin had her name and age on it so any Disney cast member that we saw told Sydney Happy Birthday (by name). She was feeling pretty special! We ate lunch at Ariel's Grotto and all of the princesses came over to the table to tell Sydney Happy Birthday, sign her book and take a picture.
