California Adventure

We went to California Adventure first thing on Monday morning to check out the new Cars Land.  It was super busy, which we had expected.  We decided that Tony and I would stand in the single rider line and check out the Lightning McQueen ride.  It took us probably 20 minutes or less and then we ended up in the same car sitting right next to each other.  So that was nice.  It was a fun ride but we didn't understand why smaller kids can't ride it.  So that meant that Josh wasn't tall enough yet.

Margie had taken the kids around to see Cars Land and then we all met back together.  The lines got pretty big fast for the new ride so Margie ended up riding it a different day.  Tony ended up taking Tyler on the ride a couple days later.  Tyler liked it - he liked that their car won the race.  I think that Josh would have liked it too since it was outside and nothing was dark or scary.  It's too bad he wasn't quite tall enough to go on it.

Since Cars Land was so busy we decided to do a couple rides at Bugs Land before we headed over to the main park.  Bugs Land is nice because the whole family can go on most the rides.  There were a couple that Megan couldn't go on, but Josh and Tyler could do them all.  I am pretty sure that they liked the bumper cars the most.  Something about hitting into people that is just so much fun.

We didn't go back again that day, but went back the next couple of days.  We did all the rides in Bugs Land and even let the boys play in the water.  It was still pretty early in the morning but since the temp was in the high 90's we knew that they would dry off quickly.  They loved the water.  I thought that it felt nice too, still can't believe how hot it was while we were there.  Over 100 degrees almost the whole time.  Steamy.

We saw the Aladdin Show and we all really liked that.  The genie is super funny.  Megan was fussy through it so Tony had to stand up with her, she feel asleep for him though.  I was glad that she wasn't fussy through the whole show.  That wouldn't have been fun for Tony.  We also went on some more rides like Monster's Inc, Woody's Roundup - which is probably the longest line that we waited in.  It is just such a fun ride.  We did the big Farris Wheel (Margie didn't, she's not a fan).

Tony and Margie did the single rider line for the Screaming roller coaster and we also got to do Soarin' Over California.  We did end up going on the water ride a couple of times and that was really fun and none of us got too wet.   A little wet feels good, lots of wet doesn't. 

They had a little water show during the day, but we didn't stay for the water and lights show that they have at night.  We figured the kids would get bored of it fast and we just wanted to get back to the hotel by then.

On Friday night Tony and Margie went back to the park after taking me and the kids back to the hotel and getting the kids to bed and they got to see a little of the show (I think).  They got to enjoy some CA fun and Disney fun as a Mommy Son date.  I was glad that they were able to do that.  They have a neat relationship.
We also got to ride the new Areal ride.  That was cute and we got on super fast.  They have made a lot of changes to CA Adventures, so it was neat to see all the different things. 

While Tony, Margie, and Tyler went on Tower of Terror I enjoyed a street performance with Megan and Josh.  Mickey came out at the end and we were right in front to see it all.  It was really fun.  I love that kind of stuff.
We all really like CA Adventures and enjoyed seeing all the new things.
