Read about Day 3 here. Our original plan for Day 4 was to arrive at Disney's California Adventure when it opened at 8am, spend the first half of the day there, then spend the evening at the hotel. But by this point I had caught on the the Early Morning Magic Hour being so important. Since we were up anyway, we spent from 7am to 8am at the Magic Kingdom riding some of the things missed the day before. What we were able to ride:
We were still able to make it into line before California Adventure opened at 8am. Score! This is a brand new park for us, with a completely different layout. Even with all my pre-trip studying, it took awhile for me to get my bearings. Luckily we were able to follow the crowd to Carsland, where we grabbed a FastPass for Radiator Springs Racers. Here's how we spent our morning:
After a brief snack in Carsland, we headed over to the Animation Courtyard. This is a cool building where you can partake in 3 different attractions. Plus, there was a comfy lobby area where Rob could sit.
Our final ride of the day was the Monsters Inc. ride. This is a dark ride that takes you through the Monsters Inc. movie. It was ok. We saw Spiderman greeting fans outside and Ryan didn't want to get in line to meet him. It about broke my heart, since he was quite Spiderman obsessed just a few years ago. I was able to drown my sorrows in a churro. Mmm, churros. The funny thing is on the first day, we got one churro and split it. On the second day, we got two to share. By the third day, we were getting four churros and not sharing! I honestly don't know if we will ever go to Disneyland again and the only thing I will truly miss is the churros. At this point we asked the kids what they wanted to do and they said swim in the pool, so we had a poolside lunch. Actually, I think I left the kids in the pool with Rob and I went to shop in Downtown Disney. It was so convenient! Believe it or not, we went totally un-Schneider and went back into the Magic Kingdom for the evening. What!?! We were meeting up with our California friend, Matt. It was so great to be able to spend more time with him, and he patiently listened to my kids chatter for an hour while we stood in line for Peter Pan. Then he humored them when they asked him to ride with them. What a great guy! It was the longest day of our lives! Two parks, both at opening. Being in a park after dark. Craziness! Good thing we had a light day planned for our final day! Continue reading about our adventure here.
