It was our last full day in the parks, so we geared up in our ears and hit the pavement for our walk to the parks!
Matt spotted this license plate holder in the parking lot of our hotel- I thought it was really cute!
We had vouchers to visit Toontown an hour before it officially opened, so we headed to the back of the park. On our way Sami spotted Merida! And there was NO line!!! She spent a really long time chatting with the girls about her brothers and her horse! It was one of the best character interactions we had all week!
Toontown was very cute, and it made me miss Toontown at Disney World! They had a scavenger hunt activity that took you through all of the houses. It was a lot of fun!
Skylar loved all of the cars! In fact- she had to sit in each of them! And of course she wanted her picture taken in each one!
While I was feeding Spencer a bottle I captured this sweet moment between Sami and Matt…
There are a lot of fun interactive things, so the girls (and Matt) had a lot of fun checking them all out!
On this trip we discovered that Skylar LOVES rides! The faster the better!! She was tall enough for Gadget’s Go Coaster, so Matt took her on it!
When they got off I asked her how she liked it. She said “Oh I LOVE it! I put my hands up and I screamed!!!!”
She rode it a few more times. I think she would have rode it all day!!!
We headed over to Pixie Hollow. It was very cutely themed!
When it was our turn we saw we were meeting Iridessa. She and Sami had a chat about fairies, and Sami told her all about her animal talents. She also really liked Skylar’s Tinkerbell shirt.
Matt took the girls to play in Tarzan’s Tree House while Spencer had a bottle. It looked like a lot of fun!
We boarded a boat and took off for on a “two week” Jungle Cruise. Sami thought the corny jokes were really funny!
The Tiki Room is one of our favorites at Disney World! At Disneyland the Dole Whip counter is right next to it!! So be sure to grab your Dole Whip before you go in for the show!
We ate lunch at Redd Rockett’s Pizza Port. The girls really enjoyed the spaghetti! And playing in this cooling mist!
Sami got in a little pin trading as we entered Innoventions!
There was so much to do and see in Innoventions! I think a few parents were really bored, but all of the science is right up Sami’s alley! There was really a lot to do and see!
There was a big section about health and nutrition. One computer game taught you about the effects of smoking- check out what Skylar would look like if she became a regular smoker!!!
I think one of the neatest things we saw was the smart house! There were computers everywhere! It was very futuristic! The boys bedroom came to life to tell the story of Peter Pan! It was very cool!
Next we took a ride on Nemo’s Submarine Voyage. It was really cute!
Matt took the girls to ride the cars at Autopia. They both received driver’s licenses!
We blasted away on Buzz Lightyear, and Sami pressed some pennies.
We were feeling a bit “snacky” so we loaded up on a few favorites…
Haunted Mansion was all decked out in it’s Nightmare Before Christmas overlay. It was really neat to see!
We spent the rest of the night leisurely enjoying ourselves. We took a train ride around the park followed by a boat ride on Mark Twain’s Riverboat. It had gotten pretty chilly, so I bundled Spencer up with me in my sweatshirt. I can’t believe that shirt used to be snug on me- and now it can wrap around both of us!
We finished the night with a little Main Street USA shopping, and watched the Believe! fireworks one more time. I cried a little as we walked out of the park that night…but as always…it wasn’t goodbye…just see you real soon!
We really enjoyed Disneyland Resort, and plan to return in a few years!
