California Adventure

After a good nights rest we were ready for another day. We headed to California Adventure today. Breakfast a little earlier this morning so we were able to get to the park before it opened. There was a little crowd formed already but not that big. It will be nice to get started before the crowd gets bigger.
The first thing we wanted to do was get a fastpass to the cars ride. It is a new ride and very popular. The line was long for that so while dad got that with Ashley the rest of us headed to Tower of Terror. Allison loves this ride but it also makes her fer very nervous. I am glad the wait wasn't that long so she didn't get too nervous before we got on. I on the other hand definitely got nervous. I don't like falling.
I survived and Allison wanted Ashley to ride it but I knew that it was going to take alot of convincing to get her to ride it. When we met back up with her she found other things to do to avoid it. We found Mr. Incredible and had to get a picture for dad with his look alike.
We then found some snow.
The girls thought it was fun but also remembered that we get plenty of that at home. Next it was on to see Olaf.
And then Anna and Elsa.
The kids weren't really into seeing characters but these were two that they did want to see. Animation Studios was in the same area so we decided to check it out. I was so impressed at how easy they made it to draw Winnie the Pooh.
We had so much fun drawing Winnie the Pooh that the girls wanted to do it again. Next we drew Baymax.
I could have done this all day it was really interesting and fun. Allison finally convinced Ashley to ride Tower of Terror so we headed over there. It was Ashley's decision but she was really nervous the whole time we were in line.
Ashley did and will probably not do it again but she can say that she did it. Allison did some reading up before we left and wanted to try out a traffic cone full of Mac and Cheese.
It was a fun lunch. After lunch the Madison and Allison really wanted to ride Screamin. They really wanted to do it as a family so they started trying to convince Ashley that she would be ok.
She did but probably won't ever do it again. After several other rides it was finally time for our fastpass to Cars. When we got over to the ride it was insane to see how busy it was. There was over a 2 hour wait if you didn't have a fastpass.
It was a fun ride. I wish the wait wasn't so long because I would have loved to ride it again. We ended our day by seeing Aladdin and planned on seeing the light show but everyone was so tired so decided to call it a night.
It was a fun tiring day and we just wanted to go to bed but we got locked out of our room again.
Not very impressed with this Embassy Suites. The repair guy tried to make us feel like it was our fault. Not impressed.
