Carly really wanted to see the princesses at the Fantasy Faire walk so I decided to bite the bullet and wait in line with her. We literally waited for an hour and a half! It was officially the longest line of the entire vacation and we got into it knowing that it would be that long. The boys went off and rode rides without us, but we stayed. The went back to the Matterhorn, we complained that it was unfair, but we remained in the line. Finally as we were nearing the front (there were five people in front of us) they decided to stick around and went through to see the princesses with us. Carly was very excited to see Ariel as she is one of her favorites, and Cinderella! Jasmine was also there but not as cool because we saw her in Aladdin's cove already. I think Gus was just as excited to see the princesses as Carly was. They were fun because the ladies that played the princesses talked like them and dresses like them. They really were the Disney princesses! Who would't be impressed with that?
We spent the rest of the day wondering around riding what we had missed and re-riding favorites like Space Mountain, Autopia, Matterhorn, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, California Screamin', and we went back to the Redwood Challenge course too. That is where I had this bear siting!
Then we had reservations at Goofy's Kitchen for dinner. While planning this trip we seriously debated about the character dining because it was quite expensive, but I am glad we did it! There were at least ten different characters roaming around the restaurant while you ate. They went around from table to table saying hello, playing with the kids, and posing for pictures. Everyone got a posed picture with Goofy as you went in to be seated. Then you could wander around and find any that you missed too. The food was buffet style so it was very informal and kid friendly. It was nice to get to spend a little time with Chip and Dale and they came to you! You didn't have to wait in line to see them.Plus it was so close to both Gus and Leo's birthdays that when we made the reservation we told them we had two birthdays and they brought out cake with a candle and sang to them. And they each got a Disney birthday button with their names on them! How fun is that for your birthday! After dinner Leo was getting loopy and on our way out of the hotel and walking back down the hotel road back to the tram,he was dancing and running and laughing. Cracking himself up really. The pictures Joey took are blurry, of course, but funny still. I guess Disneyland really is the happiest place on Earth!
The last thing for the day and for Disneyland for that matter was to go and see World of Color in a good spot. Joey had gotten a Fast Pass for the show and we ended up down in front on the boardwalk, in the splash zone. Which was a great seat and you only really got misted from the water. When we got there the pier was all lit up and then the lights went out and the show started. The show was truly amazing and this time we could see and hear the whole thing. After it was over we made our slow way back to the tram and back to our cars and said our good-byes to Disneyland. Thanks for the memories and thanks for the fun!
