Still haven't got all the pictures uploaded but will start the update anyways...
So when I left off we were heading over to...Disney's California Adventure! Our plan was to cruise the pier, do what we could, see the parade and then visit Carsland on our way out. As we weren't able to go get groceries the night before, we were actually going to leave before closing
(we are open to close sorts- get's hard to drag DD out of the parks) to get our shopping done, have a swim and get to bed a bit early after the crazy night and early RD morning.
So I'm not going to lie- I liked the old letters- probably because of big letter "A" (I'm Allyson
We headed towards the pier- I will have to check if it was a party night at DL- it may have been, hence CA filling up
Waved and watched these guys finish:
I believe we pulled a FB for Screamin', popped on the carousel, then headed along the pier.
We rode the Golden Zephyr (twice I think) as I don't think we have before, waving to people on the Fun Wheel (aside- we like the Fun Wheel!)
Had a few go's on the swings-
Rode Goofy's Sky School a few times- DD loves this one
And then settled down to watch the parade. It really wasn't that busy- the parade route was front row seating-
Not much for lines for the rides. DD would have kept riding rides but DH and I love parades so we sat down for a break.
Aside:
DH and are a bit dorky with parades- the performers are always putting so much into it- we try to wave and at least make eye contact and smile, and encourage DD to do so too- you can really see it in the performer's eyes when they realize you are engaged in their performance.
We then headed back across the pier- I think we did Screamin' via FP (DD loves this one- she rode it on our past trip when she was 6!)
and headed for a quick look around cars land on our way out:
Crappy pic (I'm sure I took this one
) DH would have waited till the people were out of the way-
Short line, so we rode...
So fun! We loved this one and rode it lots over our trip.
it's hard taking pictures from a moving tractor!!
We had a quick look around as we knew we'd be back and headed out for the day!
Overall Carsland
it's just so fun, creative and we really enjoyed taking the time to enjoy the design features of the area.
