c Disneyland here we come. We got up early and decided to get breakfast in the park. We were in by 8am and in our first line of the day (Starbucks). We got into it and got our experience level up with the Genie+. First LL secured for the Matterhorn bobsleds. I remember last time here Desi didn’t want to do this ride, but this time the whole family got on the ride and had a blast! Next stop tea cups, they were like 5 feet away, and then Alice in wonderland right next door and no wait. the beautiful thing about 8am in the park no one is there! After following the rabbit we found our way to StarWars Galaxy’s edge and did smugglers run. Ellie requested a rollercoaster so we left starwars and off to Fronteirland for Big Thunder Mountain railroad. It is everything we remembered it to be, oh wait that was Disneyworld? Or was it Disneyland? Well, I guess that says it all, it’s the same ride. Next stop food! Julie picked the Bengal BBQ, mobile ordering was awesome! The food there was amazing! A very good quick service meal! 

Nothing says Disney like walking back and forth across the park, so thats what we did and went and did Startours! We then thought we would do autopia but the line was long and we had a date with Rise of the Resistance that could not be missed. So we decided to and get in its a small world line, hey it’s only a 5min and it moves quick. 45 minutes later and a lot of Caroline singing It’s a small “land” after all we got off that ride and were off to Rise of the resistance and back across the park again.  Let’s just say that was an awesome interactive experience. We booked our next LL at Space mountain so back across the park we go!! 

At this point the park is quite crowded and getting very hot! Time for ice cream break, caffeine, and some advil! We made a plan for the rest of the day, we have 5:30 dinner plans and Fantasmic tonight so we need to get through a bunch more. Next LL Buzz Blasters, a classic and also the same as DisneyWorld! At this point we’re running out of LL possibilities. While going back and forth across the park we did the canoes totally thought this was going to be more Jungle cruise, turns out it was just us and a bunch of people paddling our selves in a 2000 lb canoe. We did the Winnie the pooh adventure,  The king’s carousel, Jungle Cruise, and Pirates of the Caribbean before Dinner. Dinner turned out to be more linner but it was still good. The dessert was a chocolate ball shell with a tiny little raspberry cake inside all sitting on top of a pile of fruity pebbles and a mini pitcher of hot pink chocolate, amazing! Ellie got a nice chocolate in a fancy sundae glass.

After dinner Ellie and Julie went to Snow White’s Adventure and Caroline and Desi did Splash Mountain. We then met up for Fantasmic! After more than 11 hours in the park and 25,000+ steps it was time to crash!

 

Tomorrow California Adventure!
