As promised - Here is an update!
The next day we slept in a bit and got ready slowly. We didn't have much left to do so we didn't need to rush. Our first stop of the day was LaBrea for breakfast and COFFEE! I really am addicted to the brown stuff!
Bellies filled and caffinated, we headed to California Adventure. We took a pic of each letter for a scrapbook (that I may find time to make someday) and then went into the park. We headed straight for Paradise Pier. It was pretty at night but just stunning during the day - more pics!
We watched California Screamin' for a little while and decided to skip it because - eh hem - Mike's a chicken.
The line for Toy Story Mania was almost 2 hours on night one but was under an hour today so we hopped on (we would have waited even if it was two hours). It moved quicky and we entertained ourselves along the way. Mr. Potatoe head was funny and then we took pics with our 3-D glasses for a while. Time moved fast and then we were on! IT WAS AWESOME!!!! A 3-D game with a Buzz twist! You have to shoot things for points - it is carnival style games! It was so much fun but I lost! If the wait hadn't doubled by the time we got off, we would have ridded again. WDW needs this ride!
After Toy Story, we walked the pier and Mike played a basketball game because he can't resit.
We rode Mullholand Maddness (very jerkey) and then made our way to Grizzly Rapids. We were online behind a teenager tour group. They were loud and silly, a little bit annoying, but not unbearable. I didn't want to ride with them though - no luck there! There we were, the newlyweds, in a tube with 6 teenagers! It was funny but they took the brunt of the waterfalls and Mike and I stayed pretty dry.
Butts a little damp we headed to get fastpasses for Soarin' and then to get a quick bite. I had been oogling chocolate covered strawberries all week and Mike wanted a hotdog so it was over to Award Wieners!
During lunch, we decided to book another dinner for that night. We decided on Cafe Orleans so we headed to guest services and called in our reservation! I thought we would never get a reservation that late but, it was no problem. Reservation made, we went straight for the Aladdin show. I have heard great things so I REFUSED to skip it. All that I heard was right! This show was Broadway calibur and Mike and I both loved it. Go to DLR just for this show!
After the show, we went back to Animation Academy where we learned to draw Minnies this time. Here we are waiting to draw!
Minnie's in hand, we went to ride Soarin' (great ride) and then to find a spot for the parade. We sat right in front of the Sundial and watched the BEST parade I have ever seen! The Pixar Play Parade was just great! The characters shot water into the crowd and it was just visually gorgeous. Here are some shots.
After the parade it was straight back to DLP. That's up next!
