Disneyland Trip Day 3

Our final day! Grandma Jo and Papa Lars surprised the kids and showed up in our hotel room Thursday morning. The kids were SO excited! They were suppose to be there all week with us but the family dog Chief got really sick so they didn't want to leave him. We are glad they came to share our last day with us! For our last and final day, we decided to head back to Disneyland to ride our favorite rides and then later we would go do our last rides in California Adventure. One of my favorite rides, It's a Small World, was super busy every other day so we decided to head there 1st thing. It was great because we only waited like 2 min. Reagan was really wanting to find Cinderella and Aerial so I promised her we would find them today. Luckily, after we got off its a small world, Cinderella was with a few other princesses so we went to stand in the long line while the others went on Matterhorn and Tea Cups. We were next in line for Cinderella and they told us we needed to wait because they were changing out princesses. I was upset because we stood in line for like 40 min for Cinderella and she was about to leave. The lady in front of us over heard the guy say they were switching so she told him that we were part of their group, THANK YOU! Now we got to see Cinderella and now we needed to find Aerial! And what do you know? Right as we we left Cinderella and were heading for Winnie the Pooh, Aerial was out standing with only like 5 people in line. YAY we got all the princesses!!:) We were getting hot so we decided to head to California Adventure to hit up the splash pads and ride a few rides over there. That water felt amazing! We decided to have Ihop for dinner and then we would head back to Disneyland for their night Parade. Papa was tired so he headed back to the hotel while the rest of us went to the Parade. This parade was much better than the one in California Adventure!

Disneyland Trip Part 2

Day 2 we headed over to California Adventure for the day. We really just wanted to go do the Toy Story ride, Little Mermaid ride and go see Cars Land. We saw a few characters but nothing like at Disneyland. California Adventure has 2 splash pads in a Bugs Land so that was nice to visit because California was having record breaking heat. It was hot! Brian did get to go on 2 rides that he wanted to ride. He rode the Tower of Terror by himself and went on the Grizzly Rafting ride with Reagan. I think he enjoyed it more than Reagan did :) We ate dinner in park tonight because we decided to watch the Pixar Parade. The kids really enjoyed seeing all the characters. After the parade was over, we went on a few more rides before it was time to line up for the World of Color show. It's a water show with tons of color and they show clips from different Disney movies. It's a must see!
