california adventure day

To be honest I think most of us were just as excited about California adventure as we were about Disneyland especially with the new cars land addition. Our kids had seen the commercial for radiator springs racers and were soooo excited. We got there that morning and the line was huge to get a fast pass so we decided to just wait in the regular line when in came time to ride it. So we did lots of other rides first, like soaring over California, The little mermaid ride (which was a huge hit with a certain little girl i know), roller coasters, and best of all the toy story ride, all before lunch time. Right after eating we headed to cars land hoping that everyone else would be eating, and we did pretty good. The line was about forty five minutes but well worth it and we were able to do the swap pass for the others who stayed with the babies. It is AMAZING how good of a job Disney does on everything and i realized this the most with cars land. It was so realistic and the kids were completely ecstatic about seeing the life size mater and lightning McQueen. I have to say i was pretty darn ecstatic too after seeing them and hearing their voices and everything. After cars land was the parade and once again we got super lucky with our spots. It was at a skinny place so nobody was sitting in front of us and I don't know why but almost every character that was walking and giving high fives came right up to our kids. They got so so much attention which was fun. The only bad thing about our day was that while we had been watching the world of color show at the end of the day, they had technical difficulties and couldn't continue the show after about ten minutes. We were kinda bummed cause we had heard it was wonderful, but we were all pretty exhausted so it was okay. This first picture is of my brother Jason with all of the kids. They had picture mattes that they had all the characters sign and it ended up being really fun for them.

This was waiting in line for Toy Story. Little did we know we were about to go on our absolute favorite ride! seriously its so fun!

My super cute parents were such good sports to deal with all of us the whole time. It made it even more special that we got to share all the memories with them!
