Our first day at the parks, we decided to hit California Adventure first. We were up and at 'em early and were at the park gates when they opened. We knew that one ride we really wanted to go on was the Radiator Springs Racers, unfortunately, we also knew that it was one of the more popular rides so as soon as we were through the gates we went to find the line for the Fast Pass for Radiator Springs Racers. I couldn't believe how long the line was already, but bless his heart, Mike said he would stand in line for the Fast Passes if we wanted to go check out some of the park. So, while he stood in line, we went to A Bug's Land. The first thing we did was go to see their 3D show "It's Tough To Be a Bug". There were only like 5 of us there and Logan and I sat right in front. Unfortunately, it was a little too real for my little guy so we ended up leaving early. From there we headed to Heimlich's Chew Chew Train ride, Tuck and Roll's Drive 'Em Buggies, and Flik's Flyers. Mike met us there and we walked down Buena Vista Street, took some pictures, and ran into Frozone and Pluto. Then it was off to CarsLand where we saw Lightning McQueen, rode Luigi's Flying Tires, saw Mater, and had a snack at Philmore's Taste In. As we were leaving CarsLand we saw Phineas and Ferb's Rock Rollin Dance Party and Donald Duck. Then we all braved California Screamin'! I was so proud of Logan, but also a little concerned as we got off the ride and he was as white as a sheet and a little shaky. He says though that that was one of his favorite rides. Crazy kid! From there it was back to CarsLand because it our time to ride Radiator Springs Racers. What a fantastic ride!! By that point we were all getting hungry so we had some lunch at Taste Pilots' Grill. At that point, I asked if anyone wanted to head back to the hotel for a break and everyone said no way, so on we went. Our next stop was Grizzly River Run to get some Fast Passes. Our Fast Pass time was actually really soon, so we did a little shoppin' and Logan got some cotton candy. Then it was time for the ride and what fun was that!!! That may be my new favorite ride! From there our soaked little bodies went to go see Minnie's Fly Girls Show and got to snap a picture with Minnie. Our next stop was the Redwood Forest where Logan did the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. Ariel's Undersea Adventure was next then Mike decided to take a break while Logan and I rode on Goofy's Sky School. Next was the Pixar Play Parade. We ended our day with Monsters Inc., Mike and Sulley to the Rescue! and Muppet*Vision 3D. It was about 7:00pm at this point and we had been going since 8:00am, so we stopped for a quick bite on the way back to the hotel and then crashed! It was a long, but fantastic day!
In the waiting area with our 3D bug goggles on waiting to see "It's Tough To Be a Bug". Logan's very first Disney experience.
Logan on Tuck and Roll's Buggies...he was absolutely out to get me...little turkey!
Mike, Logan, and I posing in front of this California Street backdrop...it actually took me a minute to realize it was a backdrop. That's right, I'm that good!
One of my most favorite pictures from the entire trip! Pluto loved Logan and Logan loved Pluto!
It was so awesome seeing Lightning McQueen! He even talked to us.
Luigi's Flying Tires was so fun...the boys did a great job moving us all around the ring.
Finally, it was time for Radiator Springs Racers...this was a phenomenal ride that took you on a drive that Sally and Lightning take when they go through the hills. See the speakers in the car? They were playing the same song that gets played during that part of the movie. So cool!
Logan was so cute with Minnie...he was a little bit shy with her, but totally excited!
Waiting for the Pixar Parade to begin...we had this whole big area all to ourselves so Logan didn't miss a thing!
Just an example as to how big these floats were!
