Disney Day 2

We were up early  and ready to hit the park for day 2. Daddy sure knows how to plan a trip. He scheduled a yummy breakfast with the characters. It was much better than Goofy's kitchen from last year.



Ready to hit some rides afer a yummy breakfast



After the breakfast Caden and most of the crew minus the little ones hit up Star Tours. I am curious how many times we will go on this during this trip? I am thinking we may need to start paying people to ride on it with him - once was enough for this Mommy.

After the crew was done Mommy and Jackson along with the DeTars headed over to Toon Town for a little fun while the others waited with excitement for the Jedi Training. On our walk over the skies in Southern California did not like us very much. While they say a drizzle keeps the locals away, hail and pouring down rain makes for a soggy crazy day at the park. We managed to dodge the rain for awhile in Roger Rabbit's Toon Town ride to come out and find our strollers filling with water. Thank goodness I sent Daddy out early to grab some ponches otherwise we would have had a huge mess. So we came up with a new game plan to dodge the rain and headed for every indoor ride we could find. We hopped on Pirates and while the twins had gone on the ride last year, this was Jackson's first. He was not sure what to think, but gave it a clap at the end.
After Pirates and visit with Princess Tiana we headed back for naps so we could make it for fireworks.

It is amazing how well the kids napped in the hotel. I really thought it would be a disaster and that they could be antsy to go back to the park. I had to struggle to wake them up to make the parade.
After fighting to wake them up we find out that the parade is canceled due to rain. So we headed over to California Adventures for some fun and check out CARS LAND!

Cars Land was amazing! The rain was kind enough to stay away so we could see a super fun Pixar Parade. Jackson still was not feeling 100% and wanted to be with Daddy, but he lit up when he saw all of his Pixar friends.

We managed to keep the kids up to watch the fireworks. I almost missed them because Jackson and I kept going on the Buzz ride to distract him while Daddy was on Star Tours AGAIN!

We mangaed to come out right when it was starting. The fireworks in Disneyland are magical. Watching Tinkerbell fly over, hearing the music, and see the lights on the castle. There are no fireworks like it. It chokes me up when I hear the Disney song playing.

After a long day we headed back to the hotel. Caden and Emmeline were out on the way back, but Jackson was like the Energizer bunny. Nothing like a litle ice cream at 9:30
