Olsen's take Disneyland 2015: California Adventure

Nov 16, 2015

We got home late last night so are having a recuperation day. Of course I have so much to blog about so wanted to get started right away. We seriously had the best time. I feel like it was even better then the last time we went which was almost 3 years ago. We arrived in California around 4:30pm on Sunday evening. We went and checked into our condo, then went and picked up some grocery's to last us the week, and then had to go eat at In N Out Burger which is our favourite. Our Condo was right across from Magic Way and right across the street from the Disneyland hotel so we were pretty close to the park. It was still a 15 minute walk right to the gate's but we got to walk through Downtown Disney to get there which is always exciting. We walked through Downtown Disney to go get our autograph books. It is all lit up beautifully and there is so much noise and excitement. We headed back to the Condo so we could get a good night's sleep. Roy and Connie flew in that evening and were spending the week with us too.





The next day we headed to California Adventure Park where we would be spending our first day. We got there as soon as the gates opened. The boys went off and got our fast passes to Radiator Spring Racers and the girls and I went straight for Anna and Elsa's meet and greet. It was so cute watching Hayley see and interact with them. She was in heaven. Then we went and met Olaf. Hayley really loved meeting the Characters. She loves Princess Sofia but I wasn't sure if they had a meet and greet with her. As we were walking down the street we just happened to see her walk out so we ran and followed her and got to meet her. Hayley was so excited.









The park wasn't too busy so we didn't have to wait in any really long lines. Hayley wasn't too sure about some of the rides at first. She kept wondering if the characters were real. We had to keep assuring her that they were just machines. Radiator Springs Racers is like the best ride but Hayley didn't like it and cried for most of it. We didn't take her on any of the bigger rides. We loved the grizzly Peak water raft ride. There wasn't a wait at all so we went on and got soaked and then went on again right after because we were already wet. We laughed the whole ride. My favourite is Tower of Terror. I love that ride. I love heights and I love big drops.






They have the best treats. I had to get my Sundae in this little souvenir Mickey sink. Isn't it cute.



We took Hayley to the Frozen sing along and she just loved it. She belted out all the words and the highlight was fake snow coming from the ceiling as we sang "Let it go" with Elsa and Anna. We left around supper time to go eat at the Rain Forest Cafe. It is a restaurant all decorated like your eating in an actual rain forest. Our table was right next to a big Gorilla that moved and made noises. The food was really good too. After supper we went back into California Adventure and rode some more rides then watched World of Color. It is my favourite show. Its a water and light show that is seriously so incredible. The kids loved it. That concluded our first day in the Parks. We headed home and all slept so well. It really was the best day ever.
