In full Disney mode we sprang out of bed on day #3 ready to take on California Adventure. Since CA opens an hour later than Disneyland, I had the opportunity to follow through on a promise I made to my 2 1/2 year old niece, Aryanna. I vowed to get Tinkerbell's signature and have a picture taken with the fairy. My boys were not too thrilled about the idea of waiting in line to see Tink and they were less enthusiastic when I told them (Dominick and Simon) that they too would be photographed. The picture came out adorable, despite the look on the boys' faces and Dominick asked Tinkerbell for her autograph for his adorable cousin.
Toy Story was one of the main appeals of California Adventure. Both boys enjoy all the characters and I was excited for Simon to see the life size versions. Of course, when we are finally able to get up close and personal with "Army Men" as Simon refers to them as and Woody, the kid would not wake up. So we did the best with what we had to work with.
Our next stop was the giant Carousel. It was a little intimidating to me but I braved it and it was actually kind of cool. We saw the whole park from way up high.
Dominick loved the Hollywood Tower of Terror! He went on it twice, once with me and once with Nick. At lunch we had some hot dogs at Award Weiners. Stood in a ridiculously long line for the Toy Story Mania ride, but it was worth it. We finished off the day watching the AMAZINGLY GREAT Pixar parade. After the parade it was time for the park to close. Both my boys, after three days of shenanigans, were starting to feel the effects. We walked toward the park gates, meandered through Downtown Disney and boarded the shuttle wishing the Disney parks a "see you later".
