Rainforest Cafe - Downtown Disney
That is our hotel with the blue windows. Off to the left is an AMC Movie theater and off to the right is ESPN Zone and Rainforest Cafe. The location of the hotel was convenient and perfect.
ESPN Zone
Another tower of the hotel. This was the main tower.
We took the monorail from Downtown to Disneyland. Once you arrive at Disneyland the monorail puts you right next to the Nemo ride and Space Mountain. Cirdan and Ella took advantage of a short line to go on Nemo. I refuse to go on it because I fear I would get claustrophobic. You are in little submarines that go under water...you are under there with about 20 other people. Not my kind of fun!!! The girls love the ride though.
We rode on a couple more rides before heading back to the main entrance to meet my Mom and Kaiya. I went on the Dumbo ride with Ella. She LOVED controlling the elephant and making it go up and down and up and down really really fast.
On our way back we stopped in a candy shop to cool off for a minute. Everything in there smelled so good and looked so yummy. I fought the urge and didn't buy any of the yumminess.
Liked this plaque that is above the little tunnel going in to Disneyland.
We were also meeting up with the Murry family. Cirdan and Jake went over to California Adventure to get tickets for World of Color. While we stood there and waited for them the girls had a water fight. They did this a lot. I was so glad that I brought these water bottles so that they could cool off and also it made Ella drink water cause she would just suck the water out of them.
I wanted to take a nice picture with Kaiya. When I went back and looked at it I started laughing. The lady in the back looks ticked. Doesn't she know this is the happiest place on earth???
We went on a few rides with the Murry family before it got too hot for us.
Peter Pan ride...
On the dark rides Ella would cover her eyes. We would have to convince her that the ride wasn't scary for her to open her eyes. It was so funny because she would get off the ride and talk about how she loved it even though she didn't even have her eyes open for most of it.
Kaiya thought maybe if she had someone else to help her they both could do it!
Rory and Ella
Kaiya, Tatum, Rory, Kellen, Jett and Ella
If you look through the cabin you can see the girls and Jake and Jenny
We then split up and Cirdan, Ella, Jett and I went back to the hotel to relax before heading to lunch with the princesses!
We went to Ariels Grotto and waited to be called to our table
We did this with Kaiya last time we all had a lot of fun. It was nice to see all the princesses in one place rather than stand in line for who knows how long.
It was a 3 course meal. The appetizer was antipasto and bread. I ordered steak for my main course and Cirdan had the fish. Ella had spaghetti.
The dessert is the best! Just enough for a bite of your favorite desserts.
Afterwards we went back over to California Adventure to catch some shows.
We watched Aladdin. I was nervous taking Ella and Jett and it was short enough for the both of them to make it through (barely). Ella kept talking loud about wanting a snack and Jett didn't want to sit on our laps. Kids!
We went and met up with Kaiya and my mom. The girls had fun having yet another water fight.
Kaiya did not want to go on California Screamin' but Cirdan finally convinced her to go and she LOVED it! She wanted to go more times and ended up going around 3 or 4 times. I wish I was brave enough!
Ella, Jett, Kaiya and I sat and ate a Mickey Mouse pretzel while Cirdan was off on a ride and my mom was on another. Ella had a full fun day so she fell asleep while sitting on Cirdan's lap. Nighty night snow white princess!
We ended our night at Adventure...riding some rides and hanging out taking pictures.
Watching the World of Color
We tried to be action figures in this box but for some reason the flash kept covering my face. It was funny...we took a few pictures and I would move where I was standing but the flash still shined right were I was standing.
My sweetie and I
Random picture of our hotel room. It was seriously so cool! The lights lit up and you could hit a button where a disney song would play.
