Bit of a late start. Lol we overslept and almost missed breakfast. The hotel we are staying at offers complimentary hot breakfast so we have been enjoying waffles, eggs, hash brown and sausage since we got here. It would have been a travesty to miss breakfast this morning! But we made it with 1/2 an hour to spare. Phew! With full bellies off to Disney Adventurepark!
Line for security was nothing this morning unlike yesterday morning (they do a bag check) and the guy this morning was super nice and kindly asked me what Kels's epi-pen was. Then let us through. After we got through the gates we headed straight for the Grizzly River Run. We did it twice cause there was no line. It was a cool water ride and we loved it. After the we headed to cars land and got fast passes for the cars ride but it had gone so fast the soonest we could get a fast pass was for 6:30pm.
So we discovered yesterday the magic of fast passes. You take your normal park admission and go to a select ride. Normal ride wait times are listed but they also have ticket centers at a few select rides that you can insert your park pass and it will print you a fast pass so you don't have to wait in line. You come back to that ride between the times listed on the fast pass ticket you were issued (say from 2:45 to 3:45) so you can go enjoy another part of the park without standing in line. We really wish we had known about that yesterday. Ah well lesson learned for the next Disney vacay!!
So on the second log ride a nice family from New Zealand recommended us going back and trying the Soaring Over California ride. So we booked it back to the ride and only waited maybe 10mins. It was a pretty cool ride. We did a lot of rides today and a lot of walking. We have been very fortunate with wait times, shows and various other things these last two days. The most we had to wait for a ride was last night for Space Mountain and that was a long one (45mins wait) but so totally worth it. The picture was epic.
We rode the Grizzly River Run about 5 or 6 times today. The Screamin Roller Coaster for 3 or 4 times. We tried to get on the ferris wheel but it broke down. There was quite a few rides down today unfortunalty. But all in all it was a fun day. Not as epic as yesterday but a fun day none the less. We got to take an animation art lesson (both kels and I did it but he would let me take a pic of his even though he did awesome!) of Captain Hook's face from Peter Pan. The more I draw and take "lessons" and talk to artists the more I realize that art is just shapes and everyone can draw shapes so therefore everyone can draw!
Our favorite was definately the other side, Disney Park original but we are glad we did the adventure park today. We've been impressed with the rides, level of service and cleanliness and sometime in the future we will come back. But for now our days at Disney are done.
Next up: Universal Studios tomorrow.
Signing off....
