California Adventure

We got up and got going early this morning because we thought we were able to go into California Adventure an hour early.  Turns out that we can only go into Disneyland an hour early on Tuesday or Thursday.  Bummer.  So we had to stand around waiting an hour before we could get into the park.  That was not what I needed for my feet.

We had Tony go get Fast Passes to the Cars ride while the rest of us went and got into line for the Toy Story ride (one of my most favorite rides).  Tony was super fast and was able to join us quickly.  After the Toy Story ride Megan wanted to ride the carousel and quickly found her new favorite ride.  Josh stayed off the ride with me and played in the water.  tThe other kids quickly joined us after their ride in the water playing fun.

Margie and Tony took turns single riding the big Screamin' ride while I feed Allie and the kids goofed off around me.  Allie did really good to take her bottle in the stroller and the kids always enjoyed eating snacks while we waited for others on rides.

Then we headed to Cars Land and went on the Cars ride.  After the ride we went down the street to ride another ride and then we ran into Lighting McQueen.  He moved around and talked.  The kids liked seeing the car and getting their picture taken with him.

We were able to ride most of the rides that we wanted to in California land. We didn't get to do Monsters Inc.  It was first really busy and then it was shut down.  We did check out the Frozen snow exhibit but didn't stay to play in the snow.  The wait was too long and we have all played in the snow before, so we moved on our way.

Before we left we wanted to watch to parade.  Megan loved dancing around in the street while we waited for parade.  She even got a couple other little girls to dance around with her.
After a while Tyler and Josh joined in on the fun and started dancing around in the streets.  It was funny to watch them dance around all these people and not care at all at what they thought of them.  They did end up getting a little too wild and excited so we had them sit down and get ready to watch the parade.

I really like the parades and the performances at the park.  It is fun to see the performers working so hard to make kids happy.
After the parade we went back into Disneyland and went on some rides there before going back to the hotel.  We stayed almost until close again.  My feet were really hurting tonight and I was glad to come back to the hotel and give them a rest.  I hope that they hold up for another day at Disneyland tomorrow.
