Our second day was spent entirely at California Adventures. We had always done Park Hopper tickets before, but we saved a chunk of change by doing one park each day. There definitely isn't as much to do in California Adventure, but it was actually nice to take things at a leisurely pace. We decided that for us, it was a good decision. Luckily the park was not crowded at all for most of the day.
We were able to get onto the Radiator Springs Racers with only a 15 minute wait and then we came back 2 more times with Fast Passes. It was one of our FAVORITE rides!!
I loved the canyons and rock formations at Radiator Springs. Truly Disney at its best.
Oh, and the kids in front are cute too!
A fun shot of the kids messing around in a fishing net....can you see Sadie mixed in with the fish?
All of us on Tower of Terror -- I think Mason and Renae were the most scared.
Colby and Sadie were super gutsy and brave on all the rides. Go figure.
This was our "Infamous -- Churro Break" -- the kids wanted to ride the Goofy's Flight School Coaster again and Eric and I didn't. So the kids went by themselves. Hooray. While they waited in line and rode the ride, Eric and I got a little churro snack. We wolfed them down so the kids wouldn't be any the wiser. These pictures are HORRIBLE, but the story is worth remembering.
In our leisurely meanderings around the park (and we really did meander which is so unlike us at Disneyland) we took time to watch shows -- the Aladdin show was awesome, go on simple rides like carousels and zephyrs, and even explore some little known places. We stumbled across this magical Belle's Library inside the Disney Animation Academy in Hollywood Land. It was so cool.
I think we did pretty much everything California Adventure has to offer...except for that big Ferris Wheel -- it was too scary for SOME people in our family.
The park got really busy after dark. We stayed to watch the Wonderful World of Color show. It was a neat show, I'm glad we finally saw it, but not worth fighting the crowds to see it again in our opinion.
Cars Land is breath-taking after dark. Truly awe inspiring.
