Disneyland Part 2

If you missed Part 1 of our Disneyland trip, you can check it out here.

We left off at the end of day 1. Day 2 started the same way. We got up, got ready, had breakfast at the hotel and then took the shuttle to Disneyland. Day 2 was spent in California Adventure. The last time I went to Disneyland, California Adventure had just opened up. It was sooooo different from the last time. Many more rides and a total different feel.

We walked in and should have gone over to the Radiator Spring Racers ride, but we didn't. We never got to ride that ride that second day. But we did ride it a bunch the third day.

We first went on Ariel's Undersea Adventure, then the Golden Zephyr and then Toy Story Midway Mania. We loved Toy Story Midway Mania because it is a video game and ride all in one. We all competed against each other and had a great time. The girls wanted to go on it again, so we grabbed a Fast Pass for later. Mistake #1. We should have gotten one for the Cars ride. Oh well. Next, we rode Jessie's Critter Carousel. We rode this several times throughout the trip as well.

Then, we started walking towards Cars Land and we saw a few of our friends who were also in Disney for the week. We also saw some friends near the carousel.

We rode Luigi's Rollickin Roadsters which was a choreographed cars ride to Christmas music. My parents rode the Radiator Springs Cars ride in the singles line.

We were going to go on the Monster's Inc. ride, but the Frozen show was going to start soon, so we headed over there. The girls LOVED the Frozen play. It was beautifully done and we even enjoyed it. It was an hour long, but didn't feel like it.

After the show, we went on the Jessie's carousel again.


And then we went back over to the Monster's Inc. Mike and Sulley to the Rescue ride. We then wandered the Animation Academy to see Turtle Talk with Crush and then to meet Anna and Elsa. This was the highlight of the girls trip!!!

We walked around and rode many of the rides again, but also did Soarin' Around the World, Goofy's Sky School and others.

Then we made our way over to the restaurant that we had made reservations for, so we could watch the World of Colors Show. Turns out the show wasn't until 10 pm and there was no way the girls would make it that long without a nap or break. So we still ate dinner there, but didn't do the whole package. Dinner was really good. The food in California Adventure is way better than the food in Disneyland. We also had Starbucks each day in the parks.

We left around 8:30 pm and headed back to the hotel to go to bed and get ready for day 3. But first, we stopped at Joe's Italian Ice. I wasn't going to get anything, but then I saw Dole Whip on the menu and I wasn't sure if I would get any in the park. It was soooo good.

Stay tuned for Part 3 - Day 3.

  1. Great pictures! So you have physical fast passes in Disneyland? Not on the app? That's different in Disney World!

    1. It is different. You can get them in the app, but it is way different. You actually go get physical passes (little tickets).

    1. I love Dole Whip. It is the best. We had two sets of friends who went at the same time as us, but not really with us. It was great to see them while in Disney!

    1. Yes! It really was an amazing time. I love the dole whip and wish we had it closer to home. The girls have so many princess dresses and wear them all the time. They wanted some from Disneyland, but they were $350 each. Ugh.

  11. The girls are so cute in their dresses! I love it. They have the Crush turtle talk at Disney World and Mason loved it! A trip to Disney just isn’t complete without seeing Anna and Elsa. So glad the girls got to see them!

    1. I loved Crush too. It was so cool how he interacted and everything was "live". Such a cool experience for everyone. The girls would have been so upset if they hadn't met Anna and Elsa. They are their favorite princesses by far. They are obsessed with all things Frozen.
