After spending all morning and most of the afternoon at Disneyland we decided to head back to the hotel for a little bit to cool off. When we booked this trip many months ago, we pretty much chose our hotel based on the pool features alone (and a good recommendation from a friend...thanks Andrea). There was a splash park and a beach entry kiddy pool in one area and then a regular pool in a totally different fenced in area...we loved this because we knew we wouldn't have to worry as much about Landon just taking a leap into the deep end (kid has absolutely NO fear when it comes to water or pretty much anything for that fact). Turns out our decision to book our hotel based on the water features alone was a pretty good decision! The boys had a blast!
After a dip in the pool and some dinner we headed back over to the park and decided to go into California Adventure and check out the new Cars Land...this place was awesome! My pictures don't do any justice.
This is by far the busiest area of both parks combined, but luckily that night we all got onto Luigi's Flying Tires pretty quick and Josh and Zane were able to get right on to the most popular ride in the area Radiator Springs Racers even though there was a 75 minute wait (we may or may not have pulled the D-card on this one)! I was never able to get on this one, they wouldn't give us a "child-swap pass" since it was too close to closing time and every other time we went they didn't care about us pulling the D-card and we refused to wait 2 hours for a ride! But from what Josh and Zane told me, it was a pretty freakin' cool ride!
While Josh and Zane were on the Racers ride, Landon and I walked (well, he strolled) around Cars Land to really check it out and snap a few pictures!
We were lucky enough to catch Mater right before he was headed into the garage for the night - Landon wasn't too sure about the friendly tow-truck, but he humored me for a quick picture!
Definitely a wonderful first day and night at Disneyland/California Adventure!!
