Short update today. Another really busy one. Crowds were heavier today. cal at 7 am then we hopped to dl from 9 until 11:30 for second ride on racers and awesome lunch at carthay circle for world of color passes. Boys napped during a break from parks then back to dl followed by ca adventure for woc. Disneyland tomorrow at 7.

Good thing this portion of the trip is only one more day. We are all exhausted and sore. Good times!

Thanks for the updates!

Last day. We hope to meet up with someone from our home town today. He was nates favoritesocial studies teacher and will be Ben teacher in the fall. Ben is in class and friends with his daughter. I have helped him plan the class Disney trip for a few years and especially this June. Most of our day will be Disneyland I think.

Questions. decent weather. Sunny sat and sun and partly sunny mon a little cooler. Sat and Sunday seemed a lot slower. We managed the headliners with fastpass and some single rider. The rest had around thirty min waits or less. The day Ben rode racers six times the line was two hours at 8 :00 pm. No idea on frozen. Never saw soarin more than thirty min...

Less lines than Florida in July. Way more comfortable. But most queue lines aren't as interesting as wdw. Parks are small so it seems pretty crowded walking around. lots of stuff breaking. Down randomly for various amounts of time.

Our room is nice in a good location close to ca entrance. Fourth floor. We have a downtown Disney view. We are right next door to world of Disney. awesome view of dl fireworks.

Lack of daybed working fine since everyone is so tired.

I am doing ok with jet lag so far. Still getting up around 4:30 but at least that is ca time!

Off to check the FAQ.

Hi Dee!! Hey you're in Cali...you need to 'chill more' haha. Sounds like you are having a great time.

Check out the treats at the store near Critter Country. I bought a Tigger Tail (I think that was the name. They had a nice variety there). We also enjoyed the sour dough soup bowls even though it was hotter than heck when we were there. According to my BIL it gets like that a couple weeks or so in the summer and we caught that time I guess. Since most of their line queues are outside it made for some hot waits at times. We didn't go as commando as you guys are...but we stayed with family that live about 15 minutes from the parks, with the exception of two nights outside the parks.

Enjoy your last day there!

Glad you liked them! Cass would kill for them!

It sounds like you are having a ball and touring in the same style I did....doing as much as you can till you fall dead into bed. And yeah, I understand the early wake ups. I could never get used to the time change.

Stacy (my friend who lives in CA) is home this week and we went to lunch yesterday. It was nice seeing her again, but I rather it be on her turf than mine.
