Thursday was our last day at Disneyland and we set off early. Our three day hopper pass gave us one Magic Morning entry, which means we got in at 7am before the main gates opened at 8am. This meant there were much smaller crowds and that basically no queues for rides. But only certain areas of the park were open.
Ellen and Katherine took advantage of this and immediately rushed off to the Space Mountain ride - after reading Mr P’s recommendation. They managed to get onto to it twice in 15 minutes. They then had a few more rides before we had a quick breakfast and then headed off to California Adventure.
This had some big rides - which the girls enjoyed - though they found the California Screamin’ rollercoaster a bit overwhelming - Ellen was a bit pale after it and Katherine a little shaky.
It also had some great shows. We saw a High School Musical concert - which was very impressive - and a fantastic stage play performance of Aladdin. This was really first class with lots of humour and a flying carpet. We were up extremely high in the balcony but it was still great to see.
I also enjoyed the animation area. In one you got to talk to Crush the turtle out of Finding Nemo. It was incredible to see an animated character talking with people in the audience - I’m not sure how they did it but it was incredible. We also went into a session where they taught you how to draw cartoon characters.
That was the end of our Disney experience - a fantastic family holiday experience.
On Thursday night we went out for dinner. Ross and Sussana had it all organised and so when we arrived at the restaurant the menus were printed with Happy Anniversary for our wedding anniversary, which was a lovely surprise.
