Længe ventet / Long awaited

Så kom vi endelig til Disneyland! Hende her har snakket om det siden hun var 2,5 år, og jeg lovede det for lidt over et år siden. Da der pludselig dumpede et hus ned fra himlen til mig, var jeg lidt bekymret for om det blev til noget, for det er virkelig skidt ikke at holde hvad man lover. Især overfor børn!

So finally we went to Disneyland! This girl talked about it ever since she was like 2.5 years old, and a bit more than a year ago, I promised her to go. When my house suddenly appeared out of nowhere, I was a bit worried whether this would happen, since it's really bad not keeping your promises. Especially to kids!

Jeg havde booket hotel for længe siden, så det var billigere. Og så vi kunne bo fint! De små flasker vakte stor begejstring, og hun havde også omhyggeligt pakket badetøj, fordi der var swimmingpool. Der var en kæmpe seng til hver (det syntes jeg var skønt! Man sover meget bedre uden et barn lige ved siden af!) og dejlig morgenmad, og så kunne vi gå over til parken.

I booked the hotel a long time ago, to get a great deal. And so that we could live in style! These small bottles caused a lot of excitement, and she had very carefully packed her swimsuit, since the hotel had a swimmingpool. The room had a giant bed for each (I loved that! I sleep a lot better without a child right beside me!) and wonderful breakfast, and we were within a walking distance from the park.

Det var en virkelig hyggelig tur! Meget anderledes at være afsted med en 5-årig. (Undskyld. 5 og et halvt!) Der var sandelig ikke meget tid til at strikke! Heldigvis er hun god til at gå og god til at kigge på ting i butikkerne uden at plage om det hele. Hun havde også styr på at vi skulle se parader og fyrværkeri, som jo er en helt stor ting i Disneyland.
Det med ørerne kom også på plads. Jeg købte godt nok en lyserød kasket denne gang. Var træt af at få ondt i hovedet at gå med en for lille bøjle....

We had such a nice trip! It was a lot different going with a 5 year old. (Sorry. 5 and a half!) I didn't have a lot of time for knitting! Fortunately, she was very good at walking and good at looking at stuff in the shops without wanting everything. She also knew about the parades and fireworks, which is a big thing in Disneyland.
The mouse ear thing also got fixed. Although I bought a pink cap this time. I was tired of getting a headache from a slightly too small headband.....

Det, der var mest anderledes var, at hun VIRKELIG gerne ville møde figurerne! Især prinsesserne, som næsten skal have en hel post for sig selv.
Vi brugte, hvad der føltes som et halvt liv på at stå i kø. Men det var altså også hyggeligt at tage billeder med "stjernene", og det føltes som om det var det værd. Når det altså var overstået.....

The most different thing was that she REALLY wanted to meet the figures! Especially the princesses, who are going to have their own blog post.
We spend what feels like half a life waiting in lines. But then it really was nice taking photos with "the stars", and it felt worth it. When it was done......
