Our final day at Disneyland started bright and early, arriving at the park at 7:20am. The parking lot was already filling up. We did not get the first row of parking for the first time out of our visits this week. We had my cousin Jessica with us for this day's adventure. Our first sight was the lines. (We later found out that the park stopped selling admission at 10am. OC Register)

The lines were almost to the California Adventures and Disneyland was not even open yet.
We headed straight for It's a Small World.

Jessica had never seen it during the holidays.


The kids loved showing Jessica all of the characters.



They find new things to look at their second time around.


When we came out, it was 8:30 and the clock was opening to sing to us.
We headed out and got a fasspast for Autotopia and then went to Astro Orbitor.

Carlie warmed up to Jessica very quickly.


Peter was super excited.

I had not been on this ride in years and I did not remember how fast it went. I had difficulties taking pictures because it forced you down and into the shuttle the whole ride. Not my type of ride.

Then we headed to Pixie Hollow. Terrence was there waiting for us.

Off to Casey Jr., the miniature train where Peter wanted to be in the cage very badly.


Carlie and Jessica practiced being caged animals.

Next we headed over to Mad Hatter and Jessica bought the kids' Christmas present, Mouse Ears. Peter wanted to visit the W. Rabbit but wanted someone to do it with him.


We had lunch at Carnation Cafe. We had 3 chefs visit us including our favorite.


We went on the Jungle Cruise, Pirates (except for Peter and I because he needed to go potty), grabbed fastpasses for Haunted Mansion, did Peter Pan, and rode the carousel.


As it grew dark, we were in line for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Carlie had to go potty while in line but we were able to get back in.

Can you see the Mickey ears?

We did not go on much after that except Winnie the Pooh but we did enjoy the lights everywhere.

Then we saw the back of the castle.

We headed over to It's a Small World to see the lights. We got there when it was "snowing" soap bubbles.


We looked down to share it with Carlie but she had finally fell asleep at 7:30pm.


Then we headed out the gate and watched the fireworks between the parks. That way we could get the tram easily.

Goodbye Disneyland!
