California Adventure

We spent our second day in California Adventures. This is Disney's version of the old fashion theme park at the beach but with Hollywood Studios thrown in for the Disney twist.

On the California Pier, they had the new ride, Toy Story Mania. Since there was no FastPass option, we headed there on the rope drop. We then proceeded to wait about 45 minutes.

But the fun we had!

Splash Mountain

This is team Choisez prior to going over the falls of Splash Mountain.

Unlike Disney World, you ride single rider for this log flume with one double seat in the rear.

The trick here is that you must be at least 5 feet to ride in the first spot. Since I was not going to volunteer, Jim got the best seat in the house.

Indy's Helper

Nicole got to help Indiana Jones with one of his adventures. Here she is helping the "assistant" solve a clue.

Disneyland

So we finally arrive in Disneyland. We leave the Comfort Inn where we stayed overnight and head to the Disneyland Hotel. We check in at 9:00 am and then walk to Disneyland.

The hotel is located on the other side of Downtown Disney. This whole area has completely changed since Jim and I were here 14 years ago.

We enter Disneyland and who do we find but Jessica's hero, Indiana Jones in Adventureland. She was so excited she got to touch him! I could not image what would have happened if it was Harrison Ford. Nicole was a part of the show and we had a great day at the park. We loved the quaintness of the park and never felt rushed to get everywhere like we do in Disney World.

We ate in one of the restaurants in the Bayou and of course I had to have the ratitoulle and the Mickey Mouse beignets.
