Disneyland, Day 4



 Today, Mr Duffy and I dressed as Cinderella and Prince Charming.

 We shared a blue Mickey sugar cookie.

 We shared a mocha frappuccino, too.

 Our first stop of the day was it's a small world.


 My traditional picture at the bear topiary.






 Getting a photo of this hippo with its eyes open is a challenge, and a lot of Disney message boards are full of posts where members talk about this. I got the eyes, but the rest of the photo is too dark. But, the eyes!


 The Three Caballeros.




 I love the final room, where all of the international dolls come together to sing the song. It is very uplifting.





 We stayed in Fantasyland for a bit. We stopped by the White Rabbit's house and knocked on his door. He wasn't home, and I am sure he was probably late for something.


 We took a break in this giant teacup.


 Then onto King Arthur's Carousel.



 We went for a ride on Alice in Wonderland.





 Then we went on the relaxing Storybookland. Mr Duffy and I got to sit at the front of the boat.

 We got swallowed by Monstro the Whale!

 But we made it out and were fine.

 I love that the trees stay tiny here.




 This is one of the places Aladdin and Jasmine flew above when they were soaring on the magic carpet.



 Up on the hill is where Cinderella lived.

 Jasmine's Palace.





 Arendelle, frozen after Elsa lost control.

 Pinocchio's village.


 Prince Eric's boat.


 What a busy morning! We got a lot done in a short amount of time. We were ready for breakfast. We had to get Mickey Mouse pancakes and River Belle Terrace potatoes.


 After breakfast, we took a serene ride on the Mark Twain Steamboat around the Rivers of America.












 We got to see the new additions, this time from the water.

 Those cranes were busy working on the Star Wars land.










 I love all of the foliage on the island and around the river.








 After we got back on land, we shared a popcorn. Disneyland popcorn is the best.




 We went across to California Adventure. I visited my bear friends in Rushin' River Outfitters.

 We had a busy day and after not too long in DCA, we went back to our room at the Paradise Pier Hotel. We shared some bubbly and watched some shows.



 I ran downstairs to the Surfside Lounge to pick up some fresh dessert and snapped some photos in the cafe.


Another long and fun day down, and more to go!

Disneyland Day 3

Mr Duffy joined me today. We went to the Market House then made our way through the park.

 We went to the Matterhorn. I like waiting for the gulls to start yelling, "Mine! Mine!" It's really funny.


 The Matterhorn is a fun ride, but one of the wilder ones and not so easy to pose for photos on it.


 We headed over to Critter Country to go on the Winnie the Pooh ride and to go in the candy store.

 One of our traditional places to pose for photos.

 Look at all of those yummy treats! Caramel apples, chocolate covered marshmallows, giant cookies, cake pops, and so many more goodies. I had a rumbly in my tumbly for something sweet.

 To counter all the sweetness from the desserts, I picked up a salty Mickey pretzel for snacking as we walked. A few hours had passed and we decided on lunch.

 We went to the Carnation Cafe on Main Street. They had this delicious shrimp pasta. My favorite thing to eat here is their fried pickle appetizer. YUM!


 After lunch, we went to Adventureland to ride the Jungle Cruise.









 After our ride ended, we walked over to California Adventure and went on more rides. When it was dinner time, we ate at the wine country trattoria, one of our favorite restaurants in the whole resprt.

 They serve up delicious bread.

Mr Duffy got the veggie pasta.

 I got the linguine and clams.


 We did some shopping then decided to go to the hotel.


 We got in our pajamas and went to sleep. We had more Disneyland the next day!
