Disneyland With Ella - Day 3

Third day we did Disneyland again.  We were at the gate at 7:45AM.  We got a magic morning pass which allowed us to get in the park an hour early.  I knew what we should use the time for.  Frozen.  The line to meet Anna and Elsa gets to be about 5-6 hours long.  As soon as they opened the gate we walked quickly to the end of Main street which is roped off until 8am.  As soon as they took down the rope, we dashed to the Frozen line.  It was a mad rush.  Within 4 minutes the line was over two hours long.  The wait didn't seem nearly as long as it was, about an hour and 20 minutes but Ella got to meet the characters.  Hopefully it's something she remembers :)
Goats at Disneyland?
Ooh, now this was a nice little treat.  Beignets.  They were delicious.  Fresh, warm, and super good.  Ella's first time having a beignet and also a mint julep.
Big Thunder Railroad or something like that.  We went on day one and decided to go again.   Sat down for the ride and they had everyone get off.  The ride got shut down for some kind of issue.  That stinks! But wait, they were handing out passes to get on any ride with no wait.  These are even better than fast passes.  You can get on the rides that don't have fast passes without waiting.  Sweet!  I ended up getting two of them.  Score!
We caught the parade at Disney.
It's a small world had been shut down for I think almost a year.  We lucked out, it re opened the last day we were there.  It was a long wait because it just re opened.   I decided to use on of my ride passes and skip the wait.  One of the guys working there said come with me and put your pass back in your wallet.  He took me to the front of the line and we didn't wait even two minutes.  Score again!  Still had two passes to use.
Had to make the rounds at Toontown.  This place always smells like a diaper changing station, maybe it's just me but...
and back to Autopia
Fireworks and saying goodbye to Disneyland.  Ella fell asleep on the ground waiting for the shuttle back to our Hotel.  3 days in a row, going 7am to midnight.  Making memories.  I had a blast with my sweet little girl.  Cherished every minute of our time together.
