Greetings,
My wife and I are visiting Los Angeles from Kansas City, MO and we had no intention of visiting Disneyland or California Adventure, despite the fact that it always comes up as an option for something to do. We come to LA once or twice a year and do various things around the city. This particular trip involved seeing Leon Bridges at the Hollywood Bowl and doing Temecula wineries. Well, Sunday night, we are hanging out at a friend's birthday party. We get to talking and one of the friends at the party is a member of the Pixarmonic orchestra down at Pixar Pier. They had two tickets that they never use, so we were the lucky recipients of them! We weren't able to get down to DL until 5pm, but were prepared for a 7 hour DCA/DL adventure!
-We had visited in the summer of 2015 for the first time to celebrate the 60th Anniversary.
-We did not enter the park until 5:40.
-Watched Pixarmonic Orchestra show at 5:45.
-Booked it to DL and rode Matterhorn post-parade.
-Picked up Incredicoaster FP, walked back to DCA, rode Ariel, Incredicoaster, picked up Soarin FP, walked through Cars Land, rode Monsters, Inc. Rode Soarin. WHEW We breezed through it, but made sure we experienced the whole park.
-Headed back over to DL with a BTMRR FP. We hopped on at about 9:25. It was an unbelievable experience. I was talking about it the entire night. We timed it perfectly so that we were riding the ride during the fireworks and some of the most beautiful fireworks were framed perfectly within the ride. It was seriously one of the most magical experiences I have ever had at a Disney park.
-We then walked on to Pirates, walked through Galaxy's Edge, ate some skewers at Bengals, grabbed an Indy FP, took some castle photos, walked through Fantasyland, rode Star Tours. Ventured back to Adventureland for Indy, and finally, hopped into the Space Mountain line at 11:35 for our final ride of the night.
-It was a lot of movement, but it never felt like we were rushed. Obviously going into it, we knew we were limited on time, but wanted to maximize it. My priority was making sure we at least walked through both parks entirely. I wanted to make sure we just experienced the atmosphere and magic of the parks. We did that and much more!
-We did the MaxPass and took some photos, but not a lot, Pretty decent deal for what it is.
