An earlier start today saw us arrive at Disneyland park during EMH about 840am.
The 3 stronger stomached riders dashed ahead to Space Mountain while me and DS15 opted to go on Buzz however the queue was already 45mins so we opted not to bother.Instead we watched a group of CMs coordinate the movement of a hot air balloon carrying a camera filming in Discoveryland

The others managed another ride on SM2 whilst we sat in the sunshine.
We made our way over to Frontierland with Juz and DD doing a FP run for BTM,

When we caught up they were still in the FP queue because the ride was not working with the return time already at 1130am.
While we waited the boys killed time killing each other!

The boys then had a quick go on the Shooting gallery before we walked over to Indiana Jones. Last visit Kyle was too small to ride much to his disgust
so he was chuffed when he measured up.

He was disappointed in the ride however saying it was "boring!"

We walked through Adventure Isle going in and out of the caves

It was then time for BTM FP but both myself and DS were not feeling up to it so we sat and chilled in the sunshine at Fuente del Oro courtyard while the others rode. We then had a lovely meal of fajitas,taco salad and sausage and fries for Kyle. Finished off with Kyles favourite of Churros.

The early start was taking its toll so we walked back through the shops then returned to the cabin for a rest.

After a much needed coffee and a spot of Disney channel we got our swimming gear together and headed up to the pool.
It was lovely and quiet at 415pm so enjoyed playing with a ball with no one nearby. Even DS15 who protested he wasnt going to swim joined in and actually enjoyed himself!

Showered and refreshed after our swim we drove to Sequoia Lodge to have dinner at Hunters Grill.
The hotel was nice but VERY busy with people everywhere. We were seated quickly but the restaurant was loud and busy. The food choice was ok but not as good as previous meals and not as hot either.
Desserts were varied but plates were not refilled quickly. We decided we had enjoyed our meal but not as much as the previous nights.
All tired we returned back to the cabin for an early night.

Loved your photographs.
I'm hoping when mine are teenagers they will similarly protest, but show that when they drop their "coolness" that they are enjoying themselves :goodvibes
