Goodbye Park Hopping

By now it seems pretty evident that the 3-day Disney park hopper has been more than adequate for these particular travelers. Evan and Alex have ridden California Screamin’ 8-9 times and the Tower of Terror 4 times - the biggest ticket items. Norbert and I have covered pretty much all rides bar the ones Evan & Alex loved the most, and some of them more than once and feel like we’ve hit all the highlights we expected, and a few more - Star Tours was WAY more fun than I expected; mmm Beignets and New Orleans coffee……New Orleans jazz in the afternoon with a mint julep….both completely unexpected, but terrific!

Parents with little kids understandably need more time to do the rounds of Character Breakfasts and stage shows [CK and GK, take note!], but we’ve focused on the on/off rides and pool time. Unfortunately the weather has turned much hotter, and Disney-time + pool time has led to some sunburns all around. You think we’d know better L TSA prevented us from bringing along all the sunscreen we had but I didn’t buy any as soon as we got here, so I’m taking all the heat for this one (in more ways than one)

The World of Color water/light spectacular was supposed to be on this evening’s agenda, but SOMEBODY named Norbert failed to push the button on the Fastpass machine that would have spit out his admission to this event. L oh well, it wasn’t meant to be. Maybe I should have gone alone and cheered along with thousands of other strangers; it wouldn’t have been the first time! Instead we all came home; we need to get through Anaheim-LA traffic and LAX airport traffic in the morning, so preparations need to run smoothly. Once we get off the plane in San Francisco, we’ve got to make our way downtown and find our way to Hotel #2 - Motel Capri and the next part of our California adventure.
