A California Adventure! Disneyland

Both my sister and I, just Love (with a capital L) Disneyland. We were very lucky that we got a good deal on tickets thru our Aunt January, and were able to visit for three whole days.  It was our first visit to California Adventure as well. I was the only photographer, which is a really hard job to both have fun and document said fun. So I at least did better than our last trip, where
I think we have like two photos. We were shocked with how hot it was. Our little corner of the world has already cooled off and we thought our days with upper nineties were over.  It was still fun though and  I would do it again in a heartbeat

Our first day we stuck to California Adventure, and the crowds were not too bad. We were able to walk on most rides and get fast passes for the rest.

You think the giant Ferris wheel would be a walk in the park, 
but as we soon discovered it was it own kind of scary.

Rhiannon's note:  The moving ferris wheel ride was by far the scariest ride in California Adventure.  Once we all settled in and I noticed that this ride came with barf bags I knew we were in for some fun.  Quinton who loved California Screamin' and Tower of Terror found this ride the scariest of all.  The unpredictability of it was really quite freaky.  We later rode it again without the moving cars and it was much more enjoyable.

As always McCoy was as cool as a cucumber

Rhiannon:  Note above Zany's hand still clutching the cage.

In the line at Cars. We were lucky, we got a fast pass first thing in the morning, then when back and got the very last fast passes issued for the day. Cars is fun and super popular. but I don't want to stand in line for over an hour for any ride. 

Too cheap to buy the photo, 

This I think was the lamest ride at the park, Jumpin Jellyfish. At least they were able to walk on to it, it only lasted like 10 seconds. 

Rhiannon:  Sometimes there is a reason why you can just walk onto a ride, this one gets the Lame-O prize for the whole park!

On the golden Zephyrs

McCoy was the chosen one with the special red pass on California Soarin'. 

I really loved the Hollywood tower ride. it was a bit short though. We are in the back row. 

Our only group photo for the whole trip, and I wish I could take it agian with better focus. I guess we have to go back!

In bugs land

I loved our dinner at Cars Land. They had the best Vegetarian Shepard's pie and 
McCoy enjoyed the ribs.

Zany being a little shoeless crazy. Who is that in the back?

Declan and lightning McQueen, first day down. 
Is there anything more exhausting then a day at a theme park!
