Disneyland Day 2

Day 2 got off to a slow start. First after standing in line for the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage for about a half-hour, the ride went down. We did get a "magic" coupon allowing us to immediately get on almost any ride. Then we got in the line for Autopia and it shut down after waiting for 20 minutes. No coupon this time. Threw us off out rhythm for the morning as you can see from the ride list below. The crowds grew quickly. We were tired so we took a long nap.

Bart and Alex meet the Queen of Snow White fame. She was nicer than she looks.



In the afternoon, we went to California Adventure Park. Here is Grizzly River Run under Bear Mountain. Didn't bring our ponchos. We would do it twice on the last day.



Picture from California Screamin. We love that ride. The biggest and fastest roller coaster in both parks.




As part of the changes at California Adventure they put Mickey Mouse on the big Ferris Wheel. Makes a cool reflection on the water. At the top of the picture you can see some of the spouts for the World of Color show that opens this summer. We got to see some tests that looked very cool! Wish it was already running.



After doing Soarin' Over California twice (my favorite ride at California Adventure) we headed back to Disneyland. Guess which ride we went on first?




The family in front of their portholes, ready for the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage.




Alex is now tall enough to comfortably reach the peddles in the Autopia cars. Both of the boys are good drivers.



Bart and Alex driving for real is a scary concept.
