Good bye Disneyland, see you after summer!

Since we have the inexpensive passes to Disneyland, we are blocked out from going for most of the summer.  June 4th was one of our last days so we went in the evening, after dinner, and parked in Downtown Disney.  They have a large Lego store with some cool displays!

We got into the park and went straight over to grab a spot to watch Fantasmic, the fireworks show over the pond and Pirate Island.  We got a great spot, second row from the front and after we stretched out some sweatshirts to hold our spot, Grandma took the first shift sitting at our spot and the kids and I ran to hit one of our favorite rides, Buzz Lightyear.  The line was too long so we jumped on the rockets, right next door, which said it was less than a 15 min. wait.  This ride was a first for all of us!  The kids loved it but it went so high, I won't be riding that one again!

The wait was much longer than 30 min. so after the line, the ride, and  then stopping at the store to buy some light up stuff, like these Mickey ears, poor Grandma had been sitting on the ground for almost an hour!  We had hoped that she could take the second shift and go on a ride but the crowds were ridiculous for the show so it was almost impossible to get out of the spot we were at.  She toughed out another hour on the floor with us and we took some silly pics while we waited.  This one was taken by Ty!

Then the show began!  We loved it, lots of fireworks and pyrotechnics, so cool!  The pirate ship went by with Peter Pan and Captain Hook, Ty loved it!

The river boat came by with all the characters and princesses, Tatum loved that.

We won't be staying that late and watching the show ever again so we were glad to catch it this one time.  By the time we got home, it was almost 10:30!  But worth the wait and the late night.
