Day 4 - Disneyland Park -Adventureland & Fronterland

After covering mainstreet, fantasyland, discoveryland and the studios, I thoughts it would be good to have a look around frontierland and adventureland today!

On our way to frontierland/Adventureland we walked up main street USA and seen the mouse himself with very few people in the queue so thought we would go over and say hello! After all, it all started with a mouse!!...

Mum being the tigger stalker she is wanted to see minnies party train to see if she could meet tigger again as she was plied with a new tigger t-shirt aka mine!!..I gave in....

the scrum was not pretty and an english man was giving off about it loudly to a cast member about the lack of order! But the Cast members don't really care as they don't have to do anything about it if they don't want to

It was then onto frontierland..were I spotted the first signs of halloween and i must admit i really liked it!!...

It was now near lunchtime and mum needed something to keep her going. We hadn't ate in Frontierland before but after checking a few menus we went to..

the food was good and the atmosphere was great with a live band ...

our next stop was a ride on the molly brown but we couldn't resist some pre-halloween fun....

The molly brown trip was nice and relaxing...

then it was time for another first for mum.....

yes i got her on phantom manor and she even agreed it wasn't scary afterwards!She thinks peter pans flight is more scary hehe!

Next it was on for a walk through Adventureland!

Even though i wasn't trying to meet characters they somehow found me! Just as we were walking through adventureland we saw, captain hook, mr smee, goofy and chip and dale come out for a random meet and greet. I decided only as there was no scrum, to use the oportunity....

Of Course you can't go to Adventureland and not take a photo of the ship..

there was lovely ducks around adventure Isle, I just had to photograph them, they are sooooo cute!!...

think they really like getting their picture taken! this one even posed .....

another must take pic...

To be honest i wanted to do the treehouse but our feet where killing us! So instead it was back to our most visited ride of the trip.....buzz...

continued in next post...

day 4 continued....

It was now mid afternoon and we were peckish so decided to head to the bakery but came across mmp along the way and we decided to stand and watch...well i stood and took photos....
donald...

Tigger..

At the bakery I came across another bad mooded CM. The girl that served me had a face like thunder and misery put together, then as my luck would have it, as she was about to serve me a guy came up asking for his pastry to be replaced as he didn't believe it was fresh...this put her in even worse form. when serving me she was abrupt, no smile, no please or thank you. Normally these things don't bother me but when the person works for disney it does!

The next stop was at the Disneyland hotel lobby for meet and greet - this was the only meet and greet i had planned in advance and i only like it as it is quiet!

And mum got another photo with tigger!! I dont think she could ever have enough but this time so did I....

we also met pluto..

Eeyore who pulled me in for a photo...

and Minnie..

we both got our pictures taken with these characters and stood back to let kids go first, i wasn't going to join in the pushing and shoving!

we wanted to go to the rainforest cafe for our meal this evening (another first) but it was too early so we headed back into disneyland park and decided to catch the parade for the first time on this trip...but not before catching some more great window displays...
simba..

sorry i didnt take photos of the parade, just small film clips!

After watching the parade it was approx 6pm and we had decided before going to dlp this time that we wanted to experience the Rainforest cafe!

I thought it was lovely when I went in, I love the aquarium archway...

we only had to wait 5 minutes for our seat, we were seated right beside the gorillas...

I have to say the service was great time wise..very quick!

I cannot remember the exact names of the food and I'm sorry i didn't take photos of it. mum got a steak and I got a burger and chips etc. Mum found her meat quite tough and in general wasn't overly impressed with it or the cheese cake dessert. I liked my meal and dessert(same) however part of my burger was pink inside and when I asked was it ok they changed it for me. like most ppl say about the rainforest cafe it is a little steep price wise esp when you add on the tip. I was happy enough with my meal but I don't think I would rush back.

I did love the atmosphere inside, the thunder, lightening and animals are great! Although one little boy didn't think so as he was trying to shoot the gorilla with his toy rifal and sounding very violent! His dad was encouraging it too! I thought it was kind of inappropriate! The father even left the son standing there and said "come back to the table when you're finished shooting the gorilla!) Very green peace!

Then a family sat beside us with a little boy who was petrified no matter what the family did to try and reassure him the monkeys weren't real. another family with children had to keep comforting their kids during the thunderstorm - so my advice if you have children, make sure they are old enough and not going to be scared before going here!!

We headed back to our hotel as we were both really tired! but not before a gorgeous ice cream at the ben and jerrys stand! yum! a perfect way to end a day at disneyland!
