After a lovely quick drive from San Diego arrived at the PPH around 10:30 registered and headed through California Adventure to get fast passes for GRR and Soaring. Met our friends at the Plaza Inn had a soda and headed straight to BLAB to get a fast pass. Traveling slowly through the park with a small herd of kidlets (6,4,3 and 1 1/2)
Really hot day, lots of people but the lines seemed to be flowing very smoothly. First ride the Jungle Cruise, surprisingly short line, the kids LOVE all new pirahnas, thought that was the coolest thing ever.
Next went to Buzz, used the fastpasses and we all thought the ride was awesome, would have gone again, but we needed to hoof it to Splash for fast passes before they ran out. Got our fast passes and took the kids to Winnie the Pooh, the kids really seem to like it and my little guy shouts and claps his hands all through the ride.
Rode POTC, once again, no line, what a great day, sunny weather, lots of people to watch and lines that moved quickly!
We had a 2:40 PS for Blue Bayou so we headed over early in hopes of getting a water table. This time is was not to be, we had the table in the very back closest to the restrooms and really bad service. Food of course was fine, but the service was horrendous.
Finished lunch, and it was off to fantasyland. The kids got to ride on Casey Jr on the train with the gold engine. Dumbo and Peter Pan had long lines and the older kids didn't want to wait. So they rode the carousel (my dd rode the golden horse, she was soooo excited) Pinocchio and IASW. Then off to Toontown for Gadget's go coaster. By this time the park was getting a little more crowded and the line for the matterhorn was pretty long, so we decided to head over to SPLASH, as we were walking by at 6 pm to use our fastpasses the fastpass machines ran out and closed for the night. My friend's 3 year old had never ridden Splash, he sat in the back seat with my husband and had a fabulous time, we got the best picture of him coming down the hill with a huge grin on his face.
Next, the Tiki Room and a dole whip float, it looks so nice and clean and shiny inside.
My friends were driving back to San Diego so they left after the Tiki festivities, and we headed back to the hotel.
My kids were really tired so my husband and I decided to leave them with his mom and head back to the park. Our room had a great view of DCA so they were able to watch the MSEP before they fell asleep.
DH and I hoofed it back for a quick ride on TOT and then off to Disneyland to see the fireworks. We managed to stand by the Plaza Inn and could see almost everything. So fantastic, they really outdid themselves with the music and all. Next time we take the kids, they were just too tired.
Managed to get through the crowds after the show and took a ride on the haunted mansion, then monorailed back DTD to have a drink and collapse in a heap.
