We walked across the street and down a sidewalk to the entrance. It was fabulous! We made it to the park before the gates opened, and was so exciting. B was sure excited to see some of the Halloween decorations.
Our day was super successful, although the first 2 rides on our schedule were not open at the times we wanted, but we still made it. It was unbelievable how many rides we did before 10 am.
Here is the list we went on: Jumpin' Jelly Fish, Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind, Goofy's Sky School (2 times in a row), B, T and MBMell went on Jessi's Critter Carousel while Lola headed to Incredicoaster. We then went to Radiator Springs to Race, and then off Soarin' Across California (which is only here for a limited time).
After that we headed to Grizzly River Run. T in his typical self didn't want to go on the ride, but eventually after B and Lola headed on the ride he changed his mind. B and Lola got drenched, made friends on the raft, and quote of the ride "In it to win it!". B was giving high fives and chatting up the fellow raft buddies.
Things slowed down a little after that. We had Churros (well some did). And they were free as the machine was down and they couldn't charge us! Disney Bonus!.
T then had a problem with the next ride we wanted to go on, Monster's Inc. So we ended up getting some snacks for the adults and heading to sit in the shade to wait for the Frozen- Live at the Hyperion. The snake was good and the show was fantastic. The singing, dancing, sets, costumes were so well done. We headed to Monsters Inc after an emergency potty break (for MBMell). T decided he was going to see after B and Lola already got in line, but the people in the middle were nice enough to let us go together. Everyone enjoyed it.
After that we headed for some lunch on Pixar Pier. Lola made the first disney fail choice on food (as they said the chicken was just spiced, but it was actually breaded). She picked off the coating and enjoyed the coleslaw. The other 3 had hot dogs, and chips, while we enjoyed some shade. B also ate some of Lola's chicken.
Headed to an impromptu fast pass to do Toy Story Midway Mania. A favorite for all of us.
We finally got to go see Ariel (as the ride was closed for most of the morning). It was nice to have some air conditioning. The California Heat was getting to us. And of course we headed to get some ice cream treats after the ride. MBMell really wanted to try the Lemon non-dairy treat (like dole whip). It was pretty good, but pretty excited for the real dole whip tomorrow!
We had supper at Flo's V8 Cafe. One of Lola's Favourites. Her gluten free turkey sandwich and steak fries were just as she remembered!
we then headed to Tale of the Lion King which will be done soon at the park. The performers and songs were so good. They told the story in 20 minutes, but hit all the highs and lows of the story. And we all know Lola loves the Lion King!
After the Tale of Lion King we headed for one last ride on the Critter Carousel. Then back to the hotel to sleep.

Time to get some sleep, our feet are tired, over 21,000 steps (can't believe 2 - 4.5 year olds did that many steps) as we have another full day ahead of us.
See what tomorrow brings!
