Destination Disneyland - Day 3 (CA Adventure Park)

After sleeping like logs after our 14 hour day at Disneyland the day before we started off with a nice healthy breakfast of Beignet's, milk and extra large coffee's before we headed over to California Adventure Park.
All smiles.
Mila's first Beignet.
Lick of approval.
Mama recharging.
Happy Junebug

Mila sprinting through Downtown Disney to get to the park.

It was a little chaotic with the opening of Carsland, so I was very happy when we got through the gates without a hitch.  "We made it!"

A "newsboy" gave Mila a newspaper and she was very engrossed in it and wouldn't put it down.

A heel click was in order.  Too bad the camera man missed it.  It just looks like I'm trying to fix a wedgy.
By 9.30am both girls were exhausted, but Anton and I were eager to check out Carsland, so we dragged them along.
One of the rides which looked awesome.......with a 4 hour line to ride it.  Er, no thanks.
The Cozy Cone was very cozy with the crowds.
The chaos was all through Main Street of Carsland, but despite all of the fat American's we were still able to appreciate how cool it was.  We even got a glimpse of John Lasseter.
For a breath of fresh air we went on the Zeppelin ride.
Mila and June loved it.  We've got some thrill seeker's on our hands.
Mila and Daddy going up on the Jelly Fish.
You can catch a glimpse of Mila's head peeking over the top.
At 41-1/2" Mila breezed by almost all of the height requirements.
Riding the swings.
Mila and Jessie going for a nice stroll along the Boardwalk.
Jessie and June having a chat.  June doesn't trust people with big heads.
Woody and Mila having a cuddle.
Woody's sheriff badge poked Mila in the eye.  I don't think she will forgive him for that.
Jake made up for where Woody disappointed with a super pirate hug.
What a cute couple.
We stumbled across a danceclub that had a "Dance with the Villains" theme.  It was in the middle of the day and hot outside so we thought we'd cool off by watching Mila work up a sweat with Captain Hook, Mr Smee, Cruella Deville, Prince John, the Sheriff of Nottingham and the Big Bad Wolf.
June and Mila moving to the dancefloor with a little trepidation.  After all they are villains.
It didn't take long before Mila was front and centre.
And June right beside her.
 Before too long there was no stopping Mila, she was unleashing the dance maniac within.
And a final bow.
Then it was a hop, skip and a wiggle back to the room for a nap.
The wall sconce in our bathroom.
I love this shot.
Then we were off to Ariel's Grotto for dinner. We heard that the princesses like to visit there so we were excited.
Mila could hardly control her excitement.
Someone call the Fire Dept.
Ariel's Grotto did not disappoint, we saw Snow White.

And Cinderella.....
Ariel of course.
Princess Aurora in all her royal grace.
And Belle, Mila liked her dress a lot
After dinner we watched the "Magic of Colour" show which was fun, but not near as good as the "Fantasmic" show we had watched the previous night.  We strolled though Carsland one more time to see it lit up at night which was not disappointing and then we timed it perfectly to catch the fireworks at the Disneyland entrance.  We couldn't have timed it better.... except for the 4 hour line for the cars ride.
Carsland Main Street
Fireworks finale.
