Disneyland!

Yesterday Eddie and I headed to the happiest place on earth: Disneyland! We used to have passes about a year ago so we would go whenever we could but after the pass prices jumped and our lives got busier we decided it would be a waste of money to renew them. So for Valetine's Day this year Eddie bought us day passes and we finally were able to use them! Going yesterday made us miss having an annual passes so we tried to do as much as we could in one day. We had so much fun! California Adventure seemed like a different park with all the changes they've made in the last year. We enjoyed re-discovering California Adventure and it's new rides and visiting our old favorites in both parks. I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story...

As we walked into the California Adventure park the new trolley was going around with Mickey in the back:



First visit to Car's Land since it opened!

Getting on the new ride in Car's Land. It's cool because it's a mixture of a "story" ride where they take you through scenes with characters from the movie and then at the end it's a little mini roller coaster where you race another car of people. We went on the ride twice and won both times :)

We also tried another new ride in Car's Land-where you sit in these inflated tires and move about by leaning in the direction you want to go. I could tell Eddie was having a blast on them haha

One of the required stops at Disneyland was the Dole Whip stand to get a Dole Whip Float :) Last time Eddie and I had one of these was in Hawaii at the Dole Plantation!

We decided to get a picture with Pluto since he didn't have a long line. We had so much fun that we tried to get a picture with Mickey but his line was closed-there's always next time!

We headed back to California Adventure after doing a few rides at Disneyland (including Star Tours 2X). One of my favorite things to do in California Adventure is to go to the Animation Studio where they teach you to draw Disney characters. We learned to draw Agent P from a Disney channel cartoon

Eddie's drawing is on the left-I think he did much better than I :)

We did a couple more rides and then bid the parks good bye. It was such a fun day and we cherished it even more because we know we won't be back for awhile.
