Life and Times of The Johnston family: Disneyland Day Three!!!

Sunday was our third day at the happiest place on earth! We started our day in California Adventure. First thing Tony went and got a fast pass to meet Elsa and Anna(it's so popular and busy that is how they have to do it!). While we waited(for less than a half hour...which was great for that!) we met Mickey again to get his autograph(as we didn't have their books the first time we met him). Then we changed Elizabeth into her pretty Elsa dress and went to meet her and her sister! Elizabeth was so excited she rushed to Elsa the moment she saw her!! Everyone in the room "Awed". It was so sweet!! I couldn't keep up with her so I didn't get a picture, but it was truly priceless! Elsa and Anna LOVED Elizabeth! They spent a good ten or MORE minutes with our kids! That's the longest they spent with any of the characters, and since their is a fast pass system for them you know they're on a strict time table, but it's like they just couldn't stop talking with them. I'll have to post the video Tony took with the video camera, cause I just can't even begin to explain how cute the visit was! After that we got our pager to see Olaf, had our packed breakfast and as we were waiting to see Jake(from Disney Jr's Jake and the Neverland Pirates) our pager went off. So we visited quickly with him then went to give Olaf a warm hug! We spotted Goofy as we were walking and had to stop to visit with him, cause Goofy is always fun! Then we went on Mickey's fun wheel in a swinging car, which Devin wasn't so sure about at first but by the end was loving it! Elizabeth loved it from the start! Then we went and played a couple games on the Boardwalk. I won a Dumbo stuffed animal, and Timothy Mouse(even though Tony cheated and tried to push my water gun away from the target...I still beat him! ;) ) Elizabeth won a little stuffed pink fish and turtle in the fishing and Devin won a blue what and even a fisherman mickey! It was a lot of fun!! Elizabeth did have a couple of difficult moments, but we worked through them and had a good time. While the kids played with their new fun things Tony went on Screamin'. Then we went on Toy Story Midway Mania again, as it's just such a fun ride! In fact I think we went on it a couple times that day! We went on King Triton's carousel as our kids just LOVE carousels! Elizabeth wanted to go on Ariel's ride again, but it was shut down sadly. Oh we saw the Disney Jr. Show before lunch, which was pretty cute, and the kids really enjoyed it. We went back to Carsland, and rode Radiator Springs Racers, and after eating our packed lunch we even got to meet Lightening McQueen!! Then we went over to the Disneyland park and met Pluto again(to get his autograph) and cause he's just so dang much fun! We also saw Mickey again! Then Devin fell asleep in the stroller so he and I just chilled in the shade for a couple hours while he slept and Tony wandered with Elizabeth to keep her entertained. Tony got a couple Dole whips, as a good friend of ours wanted the souvenir bowls. We were more than willing to help him out....especially since it meant eating delicious ice cream!! ;) After Devin woke up we went on Pirates of the Caribbean, which Devin hid under his blankie for most of. Then we went on the Jungle Cruise which he liked better, Elizabeth loved absolutely everything! I was amazed at her bravery this time....understanding those things aren't real helped immensely. I think we went on Pinocchio's ride this day as well. We went on Buzz's ride again as Devin would have been perfectly content to just ride that one over and over all 4 days we were there! I do remember our last ride of the day was Astro Orbiters which the kids thought was super fun, especially since it was dark when we did it! Then we went to a gift shop and bought Devin his desperately wanted Buzz Lightyear, this is really the only thing DEVIN wanted, we ended up getting him a few other things we knew he'd like, but this was his only personal request! And that Buzz has not left his side since! Elizabeth chose to get a Jessie doll, and they have had tons of fun together! Then on our way back to our hotel we stopped by a fantastic pizza place for dinner.(they literally make the pizza in front of you while you wait, it's GOOD FRESH pizza!) It was really well priced too! The kids once again played with their fun new toys for a while until it was time for bed.

Seeing Mickey again!
