For a first timer, I am not missing Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, and am a little bummed Haunted Mansion will be closed, along with Grizzly Peak. I plan to ride the Falcon as many times as is practical, and to fastpass the heck out of California Adventure the one day we're there. I'll be shocked if my young ones can make it three days with as much as we have in store for them, though. They're lazy couch kids, not lying. I may just shove sugar down their mouths. I used to walk 2 miles to get to the bus stop when I was a kid, then another 45 minute ride to school. And in the 110 afternoon sun it was up like 2 small hills, 2 moderates ones, and I think 3 holy cow this is terrible (and at the end) kind of hills. I really am that cliche. My kids just don't have that so we will see how this goes. Boy is 7 and girl is 4. She is braver than he is. I think we're going to be going more for the "let's have a great experience" than "how many rides can we cram in a day", but we are all very, very excited!!
