I Get To Be Elsa For The Day

 One of my priorities for the day was to get on Hyperspace Mountain which is the regular Space Mountain ride with a Star Wars overlay. So I got some Fastpasses so I would be able to get on.

 I got these a bit early in the day and the return time was already for early evening!

 Mr Duffy and I really went all out with our costumes. I was Elsa, of course. Mr Duffy was Olaf. We did get a lot of people admiring us.
We started our day the usual way - with a stop in the Market House for Starbucks.

 I like the way this place is decorated with turn-of-the-century antiques.

 If you pick up this phone, you can listen in on the conversation.

 We headed off to Critter Country.

 We wanted to go on the Pooh ride which is one of our favorites.

 I wanted to get into this hunny.

 Oh, goodness! Who is that? Another bear is trying to butt in on our honey date.

 Okay, that bear didn't stay long so we got to enjoy the sticky sweetness.

 And of course when we are in Critter Country we MUST go into the candy store! Look at all those yummy apples and cookies.

 My favorite: LOLLIOPS! As big as my head!

 I saw these Colonial Mickey and Minnie lovies and thought they were cute.

 I visited with my old friend Pooh.

 I like the variety of key chains they sell here.

 This little house is just outside the Pooh store.

 Ooh, make a wish!

 "I wish I could eat some fried pickles."

 I really like how green it is here with all of the foliage.

 This is at Tarzan's Treehouse which is in Adventureland.

 Wishes do come true! Fried pickles!

 We had lunch at the cafe on Main Street. We sat at a table outside and watched the people walk by. We started with fried pickles which are so good.

 I got this yummy pasta that had broccoli, shrimp, and a cream sauce. These are some of my favorite foods.

 After a big lunch, we walked around Main Street to do some shopping. Then we went back to our hotel to rest a bit. We wanted to be digested and ready to get on Hyperspace Mountain.

 We got back in the park and it was time to use our Fastpasses. The Star Wars version is so awesome! I hope they bring it back again because this is something that every Star Wars fan should get to experience.

 I love the water fountains at the end of Main Street where it meets Fantasyland.

Beautiful flowers.

 The castle at dusk sure is pretty.

Snow White's Grotto.

 Ah, another body of water to relax near. I do like the submarine lagoon.

 This wooden soldier is in Chester Drawers which is a shop on Main Street.

 This wagon of pretty flowers is in the courtyard between Chester Drawers and the Market House.

 Inside the Main Street Opera House.

 Walt's bench.

 This is an impressive model of the Capitol Building.

 Captain EO!

 Bill Gates

 President Obama

 Sonya Sotomayer

 Rosa Parks

 Martin Luther King Jr

 Steven Spielberg

 Jim Henson

 Mary Blair

And... sniff sniff... Uncle Walt.

This is a wall of greatness that is inside the Main Street Opera House where Great Moments with Mr Lincoln is.

Whew, that was a long day. And I get to do it all over again tomorrow!

I Go On a Very Goofy Ride

 We wanted to start this day off in California Adventure. Mr Duffy was happy to wear the Tigger costume. I thought it would be too warm for me to be in a fuzzy outfit, so I went with a Snow White dress.

 I like this fountain that is at the hub at the end of Buena Vista Street. It makes a good meeting place and is a nice photo spot.

 We spent some time in the Paradise Pier area. This is the Jumpi Jellyfish ride. It seems from the ground like it is a mild ride. And it is kid-friendly. That first take-off is a bit scary. But once you are gently bouncing, it is a nice ride.

 Mr Duffy and I wanted a snack so we shared a Mickey pretzel.

 We also wanted to share a soda. We bought this awesome Avengers souvenir cup.

 After our break, we went on Goofy's Sky School. This is one wild ride. It is a small coaster but it has dramatic turns, and some times if feels like we will fly off the track.

 Crazy turns!

 It looks like one of the cars went off course and through the billboard.

 Wow, Goofy, that sure was a wild ride.

 In the area is the Little Mermaid ride. The line was quick - only about a five minute wait.

 After our ride under the sea, it was time for a proper meal. We went to the Pacific Wharf area and settled on some Asian food. I wanted edamame so I got an order of that.

 Mango sounded refreshing so I added that to my order.

 And I got this tofu with veggies in a tasty sauce. Good stuff.

 After staying in California Adventure for the day, we felt like going into Disneyland to watch the fireworks show. If you are in the it's a small world area, they do some projections on the facade that go along with the fireworks.

This is always my favorite way to end a Disneyland day.
