Disneyland Day 2.5

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to the blog...there has been a ton going on since our return.

Let's see we left off when we were headed to Wine Country Trattoria (at California Adventure Park) for an early dinner.  We entered California Adventure through the Grand Californian Hotel.  We were a bit early for dinner, so we decided to ride, The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure.  The kids both loved it and there was only one part when Ursula was scary looking, but it passed quickly and Morgan was not that afraid. 

We decided to have dinner at Wine Country Trattoria so we could get VIP standing area for World of Color which was happening at 8:15PM that night.  So our dinner was scheduled for 4:10PM and it was a decent dinner...definitely more expensive than it should have been, but it was great to eat and get ready for World of Color.    Here is a picture of us on the way to dinner:

We were done with dinner around 6PM so we headed to A Bug's Land and went to the 3D movie, "It's Tough to be a Bug"...not appropriate for Morgan's age, but Tommy really liked it.  Morgan just hid her head in my lap the entire movie.  Then we headed farther into A Bug's Land and rode: Flik's Flyers (Really slow motion around in animal cracker boxes - Morgan, Tommy and Me), Tuck and Roll Drive 'Em Buggies (Bumper Cars - Tommy and Mike), Francis' Ladybug Boogie (Fast-paced figure 8 spinning - Jan, Tommy, Morgan and Me) and Heimlich's Chew Chew Train (Really slow good for all ages - Anne, Emrie, Morgan, Tommy, Mike and Me).

By the time we did all of those rides, it was time to go and figure out the situation with World of Color.  Our tickets said to get there at 7:45PM and we would be taken to the place where we could stand.  We arrived around 7:30PM and there was already a ton of people milling about to try and figure out where to stand.  It paid to get there early because they took us in early.  Here is a picture of us waiting :)

World of Color was totally worth it!  It was an amazing display of a ton of the Disney movies.  Along with fire and fireworks.  It was unbelievable.  There was a part that had Pirates of the Caribbean scenes and fire that Morgan was scared of, but other than that, she loved it.  It was really cool!

Then we headed back to the hotel and promptly hit the hay. 

Cheers to an amazing display with water, fire and Disney songs!
