California Adventure Day 1 (part 2)

One of my favorite rides was Grizzly River Run. We were a little nervous that it would be too cold but it wasn't too bad. We learned not to sit by the door which is why Mike got wetter than me. We both got to go down the waterfalls backwards in innertube. 







Another favorite ride was Soarin' Around the World. It was such a fun ride! It really felt like we were flying around the world. Germany was my favorite part and Mike's were the waterfalls in Venezuela. 






Another favorite was the Little Mermaid.  I rode this ride 5 times while Mike rode it 4. For me it was one of the best dark rides because it actually tells the whole story and the music is awesome! This was also the ride that stopped the most. We only rode it once without it stopping but its fine because I really like the ride. 









One of Mike's favorite rides was Goofy's Sky School. He loved it while I have a love-hate relationship with it. It is a fun ride and true to its name you do feel like you're flying with Goofy and the drops are fun but it's also just a tad painful and a little frightening no matter how many times you've ridden it. (I still felt like we might fall off the edge of the track) It really gets the heart racing :)






luckily, we didn't do this particular move on the ride

We also really liked the golden zephyr, jessie's critter carousel and taking pictures in front of the ferris wheel because there was no way I was riding the scariest ride in the park.

Mike can't leave without having a turkey leg

I guess it was good




I have a tail :)





I saved the best ride of the day for last. The Incredicoaster!!! I was terrified to ride this. I wanted to but I also didn't want to. So Mike promised me a treat after if I rode it once and so I agreed. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. We ended up riding it 4 times today!!!!



Ride 1

Ride 2- hands up!

Ride 3- first time in the dark

4th ride- last of the night

The park was so pretty at night. The big Christmas tree was so pretty, and I agree with Mike that it is prettier than Disneyland's big tree, but overall Disney does Christmas better. We were tired but we decided to ride Radiator Springs at night, and we really wanted to stay and do the winnie the pooh class at the animation academy at 9:30 so we waited and then we got back to the hotel and crashed. It was an awesome day!
