Disneyland Family Vacation Day 3 (Photo and Video Story)

November 20, 2012 By Emily 12 Comments

Day 3 was a full day of park hopping!  We started the morning in Disneyland, and then headed back to Disney California Adventure in the afternoon!

Gotta love a grainy forward facing iPhone picture! I love this little man! He was just so happy to be on vacation and headed back to Disneyland!

My little man just loved meeting his favorite Disney characters! He even showed Pluto his Optimus Prime! Pluto actually took it from him, and gave it a hug and a kiss, which made my son’s day!

I was not able to partake in these sweet treats, but everyone else got something!

Leave it to Tigger to mess with the kiddos! Squishy thought he was hilarious!

A quick snuggle with Eeyore.

Poor Pooh Bear didn’t know what was coming when Squishy tackled him with a kiss!!

Clearly, he was happy to meet these guys!

Next up we headed to take on a few rides, Dumbo, Peter Pan, and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride were all big hits!  At this time, we took a nice break for lunch, and Squishy fell asleep again.  During this break I got some reading in, and Daddy and Auntie went for some big people rides including Space Mountain and Star Wars!

At this time we switched to the other park, and the first thing my son asked for when he woke up was some Strawberry Ice Cream.  Being we were right in front of Clarabelle’s Ice Cream Parlor we had to stop and enjoy a cold treat!  He was pretty excited about his ice cream….

However, when Auntie came back from the gift shop with the soundtrack to Cars Land (yes, it has it’s very own soundtrack!), my son took that excitement to a whole new level!!  I love this face!

We stopped to get a family picture in our matching shirts!  Day 3’s matching shirts were brought to you by the letter T!  Daddy was in Tigger, Squishy in Toy Story, and Mommy in Tinkerbell!

Squish was pretty insistent that I take his picture by this car, what can I say? The boy loves cars!

After discovering we missed the last showing of the Muppets, we headed over to Turtle Talk with Crush.  If you get a chance next time you are there this was a great attraction! Crush (from Finding Nemo), came onto the screen in the picture and actually interacted with the audience as it was in front of him.  This means each show is different because each audience is different!

Of course we had to head back over to Cars Land! All my little man wanted to do there was ride Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree over and over.  Since the line was so short, why not! I think he rode it four times in a row!

Pure Joy!!

The sun was starting to set on our day!  Time to get a picnic dinner before heading over to the World of Color.  We were actually able to pre-order our dinner which included a fast pass in the price of the meal!

Squishy enjoyed some Daddy shoulder time before the show started.  It was pretty crowded, so if you do World of Color make sure you get your fast pass for the best seats!

We loved having the park hopper pass for the third day of our trip.  It made it very easy to catch the rides we had missed in the parks the day before, and spend a great half day in each park.  World of Color is certainly the best way to end a day at Disney California Adventure!

Catch up on our trip!

    He’s got one happy face and it doesn’t look like he stopped smiling for a second.
