Day 25 - DLR & DCA

Today was our first day at Disneyland. We also had plans to walk over to Disney's California Adventure for World of Color.

Sleeping Beauty Castle

We started off with a quick breakkie of cereal/toast at the condo then headed off on the short 10 min stroll to the Disney Tram. We got there before opening and exchanged our printed vouchers for tickets. Somehow we got an early entry pass and we waltzed on in.


We headed to Fantasyland and started our assault on the rides. But first we got a snack!

It was very fresh and chocolatey!

Carousel

Brandon's favourite, Peter Pan

Toad's Wild Ride

We found a monkey in the Casey Jr. Circus Train

We rode the Teacups

And tried to pull a sword from a stone!

This picture cracks me up. Anyone who's been on this ride would know why!

Then we headed over to Toontown for some more fun.

We posed for photos and rode Roger Rabbits Car Toon Spin.

Then we went on Gadget's Go Coaster with Peyton probably 3 or 4 times. She loved it as it was the only rollercoaster she was tall enough for.

Brandon and nanny entertained themselves here while we rode the roller coaster

It was really starting to get crowded by then so we headed across to DCA to pick up our pre booked World of Color/Colour Picnic and tickets for the evenings show. The kids got the light up bracelets in their meal and we got a World of Color carry bag. We had the one with the fried chicken and salad and I quite enjoyed it. After we ate our lunch we headed back to the condo for a nap.

We had something light for dinner and headed back to DCA for the World of Colour show. I wasn't fussed at all with our spot as I couldn't see much over everyone's heads. We did arrive early but the sheer volume of people meant seeing much was impossible for someone as short as me. We waited over an hour for the show to start and in the end it was sort of an anticlimax for me. Admittedly what I did see was amazing but I guess I didn't get the whole overall experience. Peyton fell asleep in the pram before it was even half over. I would attempt to see it again but gosh I wish they had seating so everyone got a decent view. 


The only photos of WOC are a few of the Mickey Wheel lit up.

After the show we headed back to the condo as we were all pretty tired.
