Magic: Day Three - Its Magical, Its Wonderful

Day Three.

(sorry i kept you waiting a few days)

Geez, I love Disneyland.

You know, I could sit here and tell you about all the rides we rode, but I realize that would make for an incredibly boring post.. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so allow these next few photographs to do the speaking for me with a few brief commentaries from myself :)

in line for Pinocchio

By some miracle, Fantasyland wasn't busy, at all. For example, Dumbo had a SIX minute long wait. That is unheard of. Really. Dumbo always has a looooong line. We even rode it twice throughout the day.

Here is Craig and I holding our wooden feather, about to board our flying elephant..

We laugh at this picture because we look so happy about this feather and also look completely exhausted.

adi, chels & craig on Alice

teacups!

Disneyland is a pricey place, unfortunately. These cute little Mickey and Minnie Mouse hats are super cute but also super expensive. So rather than buying them, we took our pictures with them on - saved us lots of money.

Another iconic photograph spot..

King Arthurs Sword in the Stone.

This is me and Craig's second take on this picture.. Our first one turned out..not so cute.

See? I told you we rode Dumbo twice.

We rode the canoes on the Rivers of America..

It was cool. We got to "help" paddle the canoe.

I say, "help," because in reality, the cast member at the front of the canoe and the one at the back did most the work..Or all the work. Either way, it was fun.

Perhaps it would have been a little more enjoyable if the girls that were in front of Craig and I could row in any sort of rhythm. Thanks to them, I kept hitting Savannah's oar. Ah, good times.

But, again..Still fun.

my love bird and i in line for Splash Mountain

Apparently, it is the in thing to hold your phone out while going down the fall on Splash Mountain. 

Yes, my daddy and Craig and holding their phones in the air.

I believe they're either videoing our drop or taking pictures of it?..

The girls on Grizzly River Rapids..the ride Miss Adi couldn't wait to go on!

In California Adventure there is a place called, Art of Animation.

Inside, there are several different activities for you to do.. You can learn how to draw Disney characters, turtle talk with Crush the sea turtle (from Finding Nemo), animate your own drawings, put your voice into a Disney movie, and much more.

 This is a Walker family favorite.

adi doing the same..

Just in case you were curious, here were our Disney character results.

Savannah - Lady (from Lady and the Tramp)

Adeline - Ariel (from The Little Mermaid)

Momma - Mulan 

Daddy - Cogsworth (from Beauty and the Beast)

Craig - Aladdin

Chelsea - Dot (from Bugs Life)

Grizzly River Rapids.. Craig spotted mom and dads camera from a ways away :)

On this particular day, poor Savannah's feet were killing her. Us Walker's have what we like to call, Toilet Paper Feet.. We have very fragile feet that shoes easily upset. 

Luckily for her (i guess), our dad had to go back to the hotel for a work call, so she went back with him leaving the four of us at the park.

Craig had talked about Disneyland's churros since before we even knew we were going on this trip.

Adi..she just loves churros.

Naturally, we had to get the two their tasty treat.

Here is Craig trying on a VERY cool shirt we found in one of Disney's many stores.

I quite love it.

Sorry girls, Craig's taken :)

Finally, we ended the night by using our last amazing gift from my moms high school friend..

Our preferred seating at the firework show, Magical!

We got to sit up by the train station on benches with nothing and no one blocking our view. 

Magical :)

Don't forget..

"MAY THE MAGIC BE WITH YOU!"
