Disneyland - California Adventure - DAY 2

Day 2 we headed over to California Adventure. I'd never been there before. We were a bit bummed because the big ferris wheel was not going. They are doing a major overhaul on the middle of the park and the water area was empty. Construction workers all over.

When we first got in there a bunch of the characters were out in the square. We saw Goofy and Pluto a few times but Sam didnt want to meet them. Of course she wanted to meet Minnie and Mickey!

Minnie really liked Alyssas sunglasses!

Samantha loves Mickey Mouse!

on the Golden Zephyr

the jelly fish ride. We were hoping that this ride would make her want to do the tower of terror but she didnt even want to go near that ride. We goofed up by callling in by its name. We got her to go into the haunted house by calling it the "Halloween House" she still didnt like it though. Didnt like the Pirates of the Caribbean either! too dark for her liking...

She kept looking over which freaked Alyssa out!

We all got soaked on the Grizzly River Run

walking around with wet socks all day makes for smelly feet!




California Screamin'
Samantha was about 6 inches to short for this super fun twisty rollercoaster. She got to ride King Tritans merry go round a few times while the tall ones took there turns (we fast passed so the wait asnt too long)

We also did Soarin over California. Which Sam thought was really cool. We flew over all the fun places in CA and they even gave us the smells...oceans and orange fields

YUM turkey legs!

'fun' games waiting in line

Playhouse Disney show

it was all about Minnies surprise birthday party. Handy Manny, Little Einsteins, and Winnie the Pooh all helped Donald, Goofy and Daisy figure out how to do their part of the surprise. It was really cute!

Fliks 3d show

the happy couple of parents of a four year old!

Flik's flyers

Poor Alyssa, I swear she would wait and wait and jsut when she thought it would be their turn the door would shut. It happened about 5 or 6 times. It was ridiculous!

Francis' Ladybug Boogie

they didnt spin around like the tea cups but it still looked like a stomach turner!

the pixar play parade!

the parade:

the video is over 10 minutes long!

After the parade we went Disneyland. Alyssa and Sam road Astro Orbitor while Jon and I road on Star Wars. Then we took the train around the park and wenton Thunder Mountain Railroad together again. We left the park got Red Robin to go then went back to the hotel for a soak in the hot tub to end the day!
