Disneyland: Day 3- More Characters, Amazing Shows and Drawing

We started our day off at Costco to grab food at the cafe and gas. Our day began later than usual. When we got into the parks we went straight to Radiator Springs Racers in California Adventure. It was still down! We were able to go on Heimlich's Chew Chew Train for the first time on my sister's friends recommendation and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree again before Radiator Springs Racers was up and running again.

I wanted to get better pictures with Moana and my sister wanted to get more pictures with Jack and Sally so we headed to Disneyland. Because it rained earlier today Moana was in her rainwear. We didn't talk much just took a few pictures and left. When we arrived at Jack and Sally's meet and greet spot we were told that Sally would be on break by the time we got to the front and we would only be able to get pictures with Jack. Sally would be back later so we left the line and had to time our arrival so that she would be there by the time it was our turn to meet them. With the help of a very informative cast member we were able to figure out a time to get in line so that we could meet both Jack and Sally. We were the first group to meet them when they came back from their break!

My sister and I met up with our parents, wandered around Toontown for a bit and went on It's A Small World. On our way out we saw Micky's Magical Map. This stage show was unexpectedly awesome. It depicts Mickey's journey to apprenticeship with special appearances by King Louie, Pocahontas, Mulan, Rapunzel, Tiana, Sebastian, and Stitch.

After a quick dinner we headed back to California Adventure for the new Frozen- Live At The Hyperion show that takes place where Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular show was in Hollywoodland. This is an hour long high tech stage show that has all of the oh so familiar Frozen songs and antics.

My parents went back to the hotel so my sister and I went to The Disney Animation Building for a while. Ana and Elsa were doing a meet and greet there! The line wasn't too long so we got pictures with them. The Animation Academy was doing a tutorial on how draw Jack Skellington. My sister wanted to go so we hung out in the Animation Courtyard, checked out Belle's library and watched the movie montages on the walls for about an hour while we were waiting. In the past there was also another attraction called Ursula's Grotto where you could record yourself singing Disney songs. The door was locked this time. They might be changing the area into something else. This gave us a much needed break!The timing couldn't have been any better.

Before heading back to the hotel we went on Monsters Inc. Mike and Sully To The Rescue, went back to Disneyland to ride Indiana Jones in Adventureland, Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters in Tomorrowland, Peter Pan's Flight, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and Pinocchio's Daring Journey in Fantacyland. We also saw Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln which which I haven't seen in years.

My parents came back to the park to watch the fireworks but they were cancelled because it was too windy.

Today was a long day!
