Last Day's Adventure!

For our last day at Disneyland Tommi and I decided we would treat it as if it was our first day and try and ride as many rides as possible (at least of the rides that we couldn't ride with Jimmy). We started out with Big Thunder Railroad which had a short enough line we went twice. We realized it isn't any fun riding it in the front as you are already down the drops by the time the back of the train is going over the drop.

Next we went to the Matterhorn, which we think is our favorite ride when you go on the faster side. We really liked it because we could cuddle while we rode it. It was also a lot more fun at night when it was dark.

We then went on Space Mountain and enjoyed the fastest roller coaster that Disneyland has to offer.

We then swung by Indiana Jones, but it was down and decided to go on Splash Mountain. Each time we go on it we hope to see the train go by, but we have yet to have that opportunity.

After Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones was up and running again so we rode it, which has always been one of my favorite rides, and by far one of my favorite lines to wait in.

We then decided we would head over to California Adventure as we had been on all the rides we wanted to in Disneyland. We waited in line for Toy Story Mania for about an hour (which is actually a short line for this ride). This was Tommi's favorite ride, and one definitely worth the wait in line.

By this time it was rather warm, so we got in line and went on the Grizzly River Run. All the fastpass stations for this ride were being used for world of color so everyone had to wait in line, but it was worth it. We both got soaked once again by the water cannon at the end of the ride!

To dry off we decided to go on California Screamin' which is always a fun ride.

We then had just over an hour for the next showing of Aladin to start so we went back to Disneyland and rode the rides we had gotten fast passes for (Space Moutain, Big Thunder Railroad, and Indiana Jones). We finished those rides and speed walked to Aladin, making it from Indiana Jones to Aladin in about 7 minutes (just time time before they closed the doors).

After the show we went and used our fastpass for California Screamin' and then also used our fastpass for Mulholland Madness - a fun little ride that makes you feel like you are going to fall out of the cart every turn it makes.

We finished all of this and left the park at about 5 pm and were very pleased with our last day of Disneyland. We were surprised at the amount of people at the parks on the different days. We went on Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and the busiest days were Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We decided that perhaps people have the mindset that the weekends are the busiest, but I found I would rather be there Friday and Saturday than during the week.
