Traveling with the Grobmyers Day 8 February 2, 2024

 Today was our final day of vacation. We went over and spent the first part of the day at California Adventures. We headed to Sorin’ first. Sorin’ is one of my favorite rides. The area it is located in looks like a National Park, very wooded and National Park type signs. It’s a neat area. 

Our second ride of the day was the Cars ride. Last time we were here this ride was closed so we were excited to try it. It’s kinda like test track at WDW. The Cars area has lots of special touches as well. Disney really goes all in on theming.

California Adventures was celebrating Lunar New Year. There are food carts and special costumes. There was a small parade too that we happened to catch.

We stalked a few characters today and found a few more hanging around.

After we rode the trolley around Main Street we walked back over to Disneyland. That is one thing that they get right in California, both parks are in walking distance with Downtown Disney in the middle. We walked back over to ride the train. We did not do that yesterday. We rode around the park, came back to Main Street, and noticed they were getting ready for the parade. If you ever get the chance to watch the parade from the second floor of the train station do it. It’s a great vantage point. Before the psrade we noticed all these black birds/ravens flying around overhead and settling in the trees. It’s like they were auditioning for a remake of the birds. And they were very loud. 

Todays flora and fauna

 Thanks for coming along with us on my birthday trip. Tomorrow we head back to reality again.

 We have early breakfast reservations with Minnie this morning. We woke up early and it is pouring rain. The palm tree outside our window is rocking back and forth. I think today is a day only fit for Donald and Daisy.

We had breakfast with Minnie and some of her friends this morning. This is one of the best character meals we have done. They join us at the table and spend lots of time with us.

After breakfast and walking around for a little while we came back to our hotel room to dry off and warm up.the rain is suppose to stop in an hour or two and we will head back over. I saw lots of flowers I want to take pictures of.

Take 2

The rain has stopped so we head back to the parks. What a difference a couple of hours can make. 

Joe tried the famous Disney turkey legs. It was pretty good. I think we are going to have to try some at home.

A few scenes from around the park.

We pretty much walked on Star Wars Smugglers run and Rise of the Resistance.

Today’s flora and fauna.

The park closed early tonight for a special ticketed event. They were having a Valentine’s Special Party. So back to the hotel for us and a hot bath. Tomorrow morning is California Adventures.
