We started the morning off by leaving bright an early so we could get the the park by 7:00 am. As we often did, we parked in the Daisy parking area and took the tram to Downtown Disney.
We decided to stop and take some pictures since there were not very many people at the park.
As I was taking a picture of Tommi and Jimmy I thought, we haven't had any pictures of us as a family in Disneyland and then someone tapped me on the shoulder and offered to take our picture so I could be in it.
The first ride we decided to go on was Peter Pan because the line is always really long. Even with the Magic Morning pass the line was still 30+ minutes long.
After that we went on Snow White, Pinocchio and Mr. Toads.
We then decided to go to Storybook Land and it was fun to see all the miniature plants and houses.
The line for its a small world was as short as we had seen it so we took a ride on it and we are sure glad, it was by far Jimmy's favorite ride he went on.
After, we decided to go to Mark Twain's Island which was recently redone and is now the "Pirates Lair" since we didn't get the chance to on Tuesday. It was fun walking around taking pictures and we were surprised at how fun it was as it was full of surprises.
We then where walking around, making our way out of the park for lunch and a nap when we ran into Princess Tiana.
There were a few nice things that we found out with a multi day pass to Disneyland. One thing that was nice is that you could go in the morning and then leave in the afternoon when it is hot and the most crowded and take a nap and eat lunch and then go back when it cools down and are less people again.After our nap we came back and watched the Celebration Parade. We found out that we don't do very well with parades because we can't handle rude people. There were two Hispanic guys in their 20's that came up about 2 minutes before the parade started and stood right in front of a family with 5 kids and acted like they didn't speak English whenever the family asked them to move when we overheard them speaking English later. There was also an Asian lady in her 40's who cut in front of a group of kids so she could get a picture then stayed there for the rest of the parade and we just couldn't understand how they thought they were more important than those kids who had been waiting for about an hour to watch the parade from the front. Despite all that, we decided we would have a good time anyways.
After the parade we went on the Finding Nemo Subs and sadly none of the pictures turned out because the lighting and windows, but here is a fun one of us standing in line.
We then had dinner while we sat waiting for Fantasmic to start. We were happier with the people at the place we were at because the adults, instead of cutting in front of the kids, actually let the kids go in the front so they could see. We also were standing by a lady that looked like Sarah Walker from Chuck... She had several kids, but she did speak with a slight Australian accent.
We were really excited to see the new World of Color at California Adventure, but decided the effort to actually see it was not worth it. To see it you have to get a fastpass for one of the 3 shows and so we thought we would give it a shot. When we went into the park at not even 10 minutes after it opened the fastpass line for it was all the way backed up to the entrance gate, at least a 3 hr wait. We went on a few rides and then came back and they were all sold out (and I am sure half the people waiting in line didn't even get a fastpass). Then there was a line of those who had fastpasses for the show about an hour before the show so they could get a spot where you could actually see... we figured that waiting 4 hours in line was not worth it. We had to watch it from a different location where we could only see part of it. We thought it was cool, but it was very similar to Fantasmic, just without real people and no fireworks.
