The Finale Part 2

Our final two days at the parks were awesome because we also got to go stay with Grandpa Great and Grandma Bev and Chloe.  I admit we were mostly sleeping when we were there, but we still got to play with Chloe a little bit!  We slept in a bit on Friday and then were part of the rope drop at Disneyland Park.  We got so much done in that first HOUR!



We rode this ride twice in a row.  It's our new favorite!

Then we did some fancy footwork in the Princess lines to get all but one princess to sign a poster!  We will need to wait to show you all the pictures for when our fancy photos get here but these should suffice.



We even got to play with Merida!! She drew herself into our poster.  And we were the only ones there so she just hung out with us which we loved.


We put to good use a bunch of rider swap passes that we had been saving up.  Mommy had even got some from her previous trip and they worked!


This is what Cara would do while I was on the big rides.  She didn't mind waiting in line and would just entertain herself with things she'd find on the ground.


We stayed for the fireworks on Friday which Daddy had never done with us and this time Cara was even awake.  We enjoyed very sticky cotton candy!


Saturday morning, the last day our passes were good for, brought with it the unusual offer of an extra magic hour for passholders!  The only problem was that it started at 7 am!  Mommy really wanted to be there that early but she let us all sleep an extra half hour and we got in at 7:30.  We had the park almost to ourselves which was good because we got in a final ride on Midway Mania waiting in NO line at all! We weren't planning on staying all day so we kind of had to pick and choose what we did.  Only favorite rides!  Cara apparently did NOT get enough sleep since she spent a few hours suddenly bursting into tears.

Grandpa has since informed that this would be his face after two hours at Disneyland with Mommy!




Daddy fixed this by scooping her up and taking her into Disneyland and getting in the long line for Peter Pan just like she wanted.



We enjoyed taking our very first ride on the Davy Crockett Canoes.  It's hard work when you have kiddos according to my mommy! But I loved it and said I wanted to do it AGAIN.


Then it was really time to start our good byes.  We took silly pictures.




And then waited in a ridiculously long line for our final ride, Pirates of the Caribbean.  (Mommy's choking up just thinking about it!)

We took a final picture in front of the under construction Main Street Train Depot,


And we hit the road.  Mommy really did cry leaving the parking structure and then would off and on get choked up thinking about it.  Cara and I were mostly just tired.


It was a great finale.  Stay tuned for just two more posts about Disney.  One with our "good" pictures and one with Mommy's "Disney How To's".
