family photo (The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror)

If you haven't been to Disneyland in awhile, then you may not know there is a second theme park adjacent to it. Their entrances actually open onto one large plaza and, if you have a hopper ticket or pass, you can move between the two parks. Disneyland is on one side and the Disney California Adventure Park is on the other. Mike's brother, Dave, was just down with his family and spent 4 days at Disneyland. They had purchased 5-day passes so they gave us the 5th day since they didn't use it. So although we have plans to take the kids and make a special day of it on each of their birthdays, we thought we would take the opportunity to spend a few hours inside Calif. Adventure today, too.
Since there is Spring Break fever all over down here right now, I wasn't feeling very optimistic about our day inside the park. I anticipated large crowds, long lines and lots of frustration. Fortunately, it was all quite the opposite. The kids each selected one ride that they really wanted to go on so we could be sure to definitely do those, in the event that it was super crowded. Thomas chose the Tower of Terror and Meredith chose Ariel's Undersea Adventure. We rode Meredith's twice and got a fast pass to ride Thomas' chosen ride once.
The day really could not have been better. It was a relaxed pace and yet we still got to see and do plenty of things in our five hours there today. Most importantly, we enjoyed some quality family time making fun memories together. And now, the kids are even more excited about going up on their birthdays!
