A visit to Radiator Springs

Poor Laurie had  a miserable tummy overnight  so we weren't too sure as to whether we'd all get to the Parks today.  Thankfully she woke up feeling so much better so after I'd finished the laundry (unfortunately dirty washing doesn't go away while on holiday) we headed back to Mimi's for breakfast.  It is so cheap and as I said, they have the best coffee....but boy, am I hanging out for New Zealand porridge or vegemite on toast!!

Anyway, we decided to head to Disney California Adventure today and got there about 10.30.  We headed straight to the Radiator Springs Racers fast pass machines and got our fastpass tickets for 5.20 tonight.

We wondered around the park slowly, and went on each ride as we came to it.  We were much slower paced today as we were fairly tired after 4 straight days of Seaworld, Legoland, San Diego Zoo, USS midway and Disneyland.  While the sun shone most of the day, a cold wind picked up around 1pm, so we weren't as enthusiastic as we could have been.  We probably did about 1/2 the park

Favourites today....
Mum- Aladdin show
Lauren and Bryan- California Screaming and Radiator Springs
Tay and me- Radiator Springs and Aladdin...although Goofy's Sky school was fun too.

I was really proud of Mum.  She has a fear of heights but still came on Mickey's Fun Wheel with me.  Her and I went in a stationery car while Bry and the girls went in a moving one.  I'll try to do a more detailed entry on the attractions we have been on soon...too tired at the moment.

We loved Cars land.  It looks exactly like the movie.  We even meet Lightning McQueen and Mater (we said hi from you Flynny).  Lightning McQueen called Mum a "hot lady".  We were so pleased we had picked up the fastpass for the Radiator Springs Racers ride this morning.  It is such a popular ride.  If we hadn't had a fastpass, we would have had to have waited at least an hour in the queue to ride it.  With the fastpass, we had a 10 min wait. 

Anyway, here's some pics from the day...we're also getting ones taking from the Disney photographers but don't have access to email them as yet.

Tomorrow we're probably going to take a break from Disney and go exploring.
