Our Disneyland annual passes expired back in September (Trung's in December since it took me three months to convince him to get one) and recently, the girls have been asking to go back. After receiving an e-mail from my cousin from Texas asking us to join them for two days after school ends and finding out at least a handful of our friends have annual passes, I finally gave in and renewed our passes. I had to convince Trung again since passes aren't cheap, but I had a AAA discount (I joined just for the Disneyland tickets discount), so I got AAA for only $44.50 and received a $36 discount for the passes. Not too bad if you ask me.
I was excited about going back to California Adventure, so I got everyone to wake up early to get there by opening. With a slight detour getting to the parking structure and an unusually long wait to get out printed passes made into cards, we were finally in the resort at 9. We made good use of our time and hit several popular rides in the morning, then taking it easy indoors during the heat of the day. We went on a couple fast pass rides just before leaving to have dinner at Star BBQ, which has changed since we last went several months ago. Trung and I discussed afterwards how it wasn't as good as it used to be, but maybe because we are used to it by now and the experience is not as new and exciting.
Family visit to Radiator Springs
The girls wanted to sit together whenever possible
Lydia took my otter, and then Trung switched for my seal. I got stuck with just a fish. :(
Trung took Lydia to ride Goofy's flying school, which Sophie is too short for, so we "flew" over to see Minnie instead.
Lydia didn't want to be in the picture. Too bad because Dug was so cute!
At least she was excited to see Russell.
Sophie's first time on the Radiator Springs Racers, though you can barely see her in the middle front seat. Such a fun ride, no wonder our fast passes were for 4:25 even though I got them at 9 AM!
You probably wouldn't guess that we were on the Tower of Terror from this picture. It was Trung and my first time on it and probably my last...I just don't like that "dead drop" feeling, but at least now I can say that I've been on it at least once.
Dinner at Star BBQ with everyone that went to Disney.
