It was great! We had so much fun. We were prepared for super long lines and I brought lots of stuff for the kids in case they got bored while waiting. The longest we waited Thursday was maybe 25 minutes on the new Toy Story shooting gallery ride in California Adventure, which is way fun, btw. Ryan and Mary Kay joined us Friday, and we did wait an hour for California Screamer, only because we already had fast passes for Tower of Terror and couldn't get more. Saturday Ryan was with us and the lines seemed shorter than Friday, but not as short as Thursday.
We had a GREAT Thanksgiving Dinner at Mimi's. YUM and a great price, and no cleanup!
I was worried about Lily, because she freaked out at Lagoon back in June. I wasn't sure if she would ride anything at all. We took her on the Finding Nemo submarine first. She climbed right in with no hesitation and loved every minute of it.
Kiersten and I got in a little trouble the first day. After Nemo, we were assigned to run over and get fast passes for Space Mountain and then meet up in Fantasy Land. Turns out there was only a 5 minute wait to go on the ride right then! How could we refuse?! We grabbed the passes, then ran into line. Dad called to tell us they were in the Peter Pan ride line. I told him we'd try to find them, but if not, we'd just wait for them at the exit (hint hint).
The hint didn't take, and after an AWESOME ride on the space rollercoaster, and a run over to Fantasy Land (where I STILL made it in line to ride Peter Pan), we eventually had to spill the beans (and face the wrath).Lily went on the carosel next, then Kiersten took the kids on the teacups, which Lily and Aaron loved a
nd had to go on several times. 
I took them a couple times, but wouldn't let Aaron spin.
Aaron loved all of the rollercoasters, especially Space Mountain and California Screamer. He even went on the Tower of Terror! Nice to have a ride buddy since Mike doesn't like rides.
Everyone loved the Muppet 3D movie in California Adventure. Lily kept putting her glasses up and down, presumibly trying to figure out how it works.
There was also a live on stage (with puppets) Playhouse Disney show which Lily adored.
Well that's enough for now. Thanks Mom and Dad for a great trip!!

It was so good to hear from you too. I love your pictures. I can't believe how big your kids have gotten!!! Maybe this way we can stay in touch a little easier.
Those are some great pictures! I can't wait to take my girls to Disneyland.
So Mike's a wuss huh? ;D
The Toy Story ride was LW's favorite. (Assuming it's the same as the ride at WDW.) He refused to get out and I had to carry him while he screamed "Nooooo!" It was his one real meltdown of the trip.
