Day 3 Disneyland

Monday

Rope drop at Disneyland, straight to Buzz Lightyear Astroblasters and then Star Tours, but today was not about rides, it became about character interactions.  We went to all of the places that the app said that there would be characters that we wanted to meet.

We did have 10.30 reservatiions at Minnies breakfast at the Plaza, where the food was the best of all the breakfasts we attended, it also had LOADS of characters, and the cast members were soooo lovely.  The chef was fantastic and gave us the best vegan/GF breakfast of the trip. Today we met

Those autograph books were getting full! It was getting hot and crowded so we went back to the hotel for a swim and an hour of rest as we were hoping to see the fireworks tonight.

5.00 reservation at the carnation café, while they had options that suited us, the food wasn’t really that great, wouldn’t go back. Walking out caught the Pixar play parade again. Took off to DCA and got in line for the Animation Academy, we drew Groot! This made me very happy! Afterwards we did Turtle Talk with Crush, which was surprisingly cool. Went to schmoozies  to try some of the Pixarfest offerings which were delicious, the kids reviewed them here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ITzDXUTCDM Went back to Disneyland for the fireworks, boy was it packed! Lots of people with their kids on their shoulders which wasn’t great after waiting so long for them to start, only to find a toddler giant in your direct view. The fireworks were amazing, I loved them, they made me laugh and cry, so magical.  Off to bed, we were all exhausted.
