Since we had spent 2 days at each park we let the kids decide where we spent our last day and they chose Disneyland. We mapped out what they wanted to ride and what we wanted to get accomplished on our last day. On that list of coarse was to get a few classic pictures.
After a bunch of pictures we headed to ride our favorite rides and a couple others that had long lines the other days we had been there. The story book boat ride was fun and so detailed.
The Kasey Jr Train ride was next we got to ride in a cage which made me feel better that Em wouldn't escape
Then Em was ready for a nap so we looked on the app to see what characters were out and went to meet them while Emmy slept. I waited in line while Matt took the girls to ride the Jungle Cruise
Indiana Jones was another definite favorite we did the rider swap and the fast passes since Grace and Em were to little to ride
On our way back to the Matterhorn we ran into Mary Poppins and Burt. They spent quite a bit of time visiting with the kids and playing with them before signing their books
Then it was time to go back for our fast passes to Indiana Jones. ABout half way there Gracie decided she wanted to watch the parade instead so I took her and Em back to the parade we had to go all the way to the end to find a place to sit and it was hot! We got there just as the beginning of the parade was getting to us. Oh the things we do for our kids.
We hit up a few more rides and then Matt and I traded off with the kids and took them to find their souvenir. We told the kids the beginning of the week to keep their eyes open for the souvenir they wanted and at the end of the week we would buy them.
They both decided on bubble wands which I thought were pretty awesome. One problem was that Disneyland only had the blue Flounder one and Gracie wanted the Teal Ariel one. We had seen them the day before in California Adventure but since we didn't have park hopper passes I wasn't sure what to do so I took Gracie over to California Adventure and explained the situation to the gate attendant she called her boss and they ended up letting me into the park to go find one. I was so impressed at their willingness to go above and beyond. And of coarse the girls were thrilled with their gifts. Em picked a mickey bracelet that she loves to chew on. Then we called it a day and the end of our trip. It was the Mickey Halloween Party and the park was getting really crowded and we had had a great time but wanted to get back for dinner and some time to still play in the pool.
The bubble wands did not disappoint...although we do wish it had a switch that just did the bubbles without the music..lol
