Weekend Getaway - Day 2 & 3: Disneyland and California Adventure

After eating breakfast Tony and I walked to the park.  It was a little over a mile to from the hotel, so not bad at all.  We had to wait in a few lines before getting all the way into Disneyland, but it wasn't bad.  We decided to go on the Jungle Cruise first and then Indiana Jones.  We figured most people would go on the bigger, newer rides first so we wouldn't have to wait long for our rides.  We were correct and we were on the first cruise of the morning.  Pretty exciting.  

During the day we took pictures by or on the rides that our kids like the most and then sent them to Margie to show them.  It was supposed to make them feel special that we were thinking about them, but apparently it just made them jealous. Allie even sent a sad face when we sent her a photo, so we sent a sad face back.  It was pretty funny.  

We did go over to California Adventure at lunch time.  We were able to go on a lot of rides and it was a lot of fun.  After doing all the rides we wanted to do there, we went back to Disneyland for dinner and a few more rides.  We took a risk of waiting in line for the Rise of the Resistance.  It said it was like 75 minutes, but then it ended up being closer to 50 minutes.  After walking around Star Wars land, we then decided to go back to the hotel.

We saw that they had a shuttle to the parking lot that was right by our hotel, so we hopped on that and that got us much closer to our hotel.  Tony walked to Joe's that night for some Italian Ice and brought it back to our hotel room.  

The next morning Tony and I walked back to the park.  We started at California Adventure and went to ride Toy Story Mania.  Unfortunately, the ride was down.  Tony went on the Incredicoaster while I waited for him.  After we went on Ariel and then went back to Toy Story.  We were able to ride that a couple times before moving on to Cars Land.  We did the single rider line for the Cars ride and then went on some more rides before having lunch.  After lunch we rode the rest of the rides that we wanted to ride in California Adventure before moving on to Disneyland.

We were able to ride more rides, buy some souvenirs, eat yummy food, and enjoy ourselves in the park.  After we did all that we wanted to, we shopped our way out of the park before going back to the hotel.  It was a lot of fun and we both had a great time.
