Disneyland trip + meeting Baymax ♡

I went to Disneyland the other day and I was talking about on twitter how I wanted to start blogging about Disneyland more since i'm always there and a lot of you seemed to like the idea so I did it!~ I'm not sure exactly what i'm going to start doing with these disneyland posts so if you have any suggestions or requests just let me know! I went on November 18th, which was really perfect because the park was a lot emptier than i'm used to it being. The main reason I wanted to go to Disneyland was because I wanted to meet baymax. After seeing Big Hero 6, I was completely in love with him. I REALLY thought the line to see him was going to be long, but I waited about 30 minutes.

He's located in Starcade, right next to Space mountain! I know its super lame but I almost cried when I met him. I really like what they did with his suit too, I thought it would be kind of lame since the movie just came out but he looks exactly how he does in the movie! And when you hug him, he hugs you back.

Oh and he BLINKS! It's honestly so cute. When little kids come up to him he bends down just like he does in the movie and blinks. I was squealing the whole time ^~^. In the middle of waiting for Baymax, they switched Hiros which was really strange to me since i've never seen Disney do that with a face character before. It was a completely different person and it was very noticeable. But I was kind of happy since the Hiro I met seemed a lot happier than the other!

Baymax is seriously all over Disney right now and I'm 100% okay with it. These balloons are so cute!~ I really want to get one when I go back.

The castle is finally decorated for the holidays and its so pretty. I feel like it looks a little different for some reason but I can't really point out what exactly it is.

My dress is from H&M and my bag is from Ebay! I kind of regret wearing this though because it was so cold out I wasn't anticipating it at all. I'm actually sick now because I was in the cold for so long.. ;- ;

I tried the Mexican food at Disneyland for the first time and it was seriously super good. I got it from Rancho Del Zocalo right next to Thunder mountain. It was really filling and for my boyfriend and I to eat it was only $26 which isn't too bad. It was a lot of food! I will definitely eat there again. I think its my new favorite comfort food ; u ; .

I didn't end up going on many rides because I was honestly walking around aimlessly. I was really sad because I hadn't gone to the park in about three weeks and I know that sounds stupid but thats a really long time for me. I saw the Holiday parade for the first time since I was really little and it was amazing! I never sit down and watch the parades but it was well worth the wait. I won't do it again, but I don't regret waiting three hours to watch it ^~^ I'm really excited to do some more Disney related blog posts for you guys! Be sure to let me know what you want~

What to pack for Disneyland ♡

A lot of you asked me to start making blog posts on Disneyland and the most requested one was to make a post about what to bring and not bring with you to Disneyland! I feel like I have enough knowledge to guide you guys in the right direction of what to bring! I know a lot of you are going to gradnight soon, so i hope this helps! 

For me an external battery is a must. I love taking pictures all around the park and since the service is lacking at Disneyland my phone dies so quickly. With a Mophie battery my phone stays alive all day! I've owned several of their products and they are an investment, but VERY worth it. I recommend the powerstation duo (let me know if you'd like a review on this product!) Along with the Mophie charger bring along your USB phone cord because.. you can't use one without the other.

Lugging around makeup isn't ideal and it can get messy. Instead just purchase some blotting sheets! I personally use the ones from NYX but any will do, really. If you want something with a bit more coverage just bring along your favorite powder and powder brush.

At night Disneyland always gets so humid and my hair always frizzes up. If you have the same problem with humidity bring along some hair ties! These are also really great to have with you if you purchase a snack while waiting in line and you need to wrap it around and throw it in your bag.

I feel like A lot of people forget that you're allowed to bring food into the park. If you are trying to save money and not spend a lot on food i'd recommend bringing some snacks! If you really want to spend no money on food while in the park i'd recommend filling a backpack with food and ice packs and purchasing a locker. They are $12 for the whole day I believe!

If you're like me, your eyes get really, really red at night. Eye drops are a must if you don't want to keep hearing "are you okay?" "you look so tired"

I would throw this all in a bag that you feel comfortable with. Some people like backpacks, some like purses, some like totes! Its all up to you! I personally always take a shoulder bag or a small backpack.  Throw in a light sweater and sunglasses, too! I've found that Disneyland and California adventure aren't ever EXTREMELY cold on a typical California night. But obviously bring something heaver if the weather is more dense. Other than those things don't forget to take your wallet and a marker if you want to get autographs from the princesses!

Things you don't really need to pack: Huge cameras (unless you're trying to take professional photos your iPhone is just fine.) Water bottles (there is free water fountains all over the park & restaurants give out free water cups if you ask) Cash (all the vendors take ATM/Credit cards)
