Adventure in California

We have been having lots of fun. Today we visited Disney's newest attraction; California Adventure! It's not as popular as Disneyland so the lines were way down and waiting in line was no big deal. My favorite ride over on this side was the Toy Story ride or rather game. On this ride you were put into a cart with cannons. The idea of the game was to hit all of the objects, such as dishes and cows…. All in a 3-D environment. Pretty cool! :)

This was pretty cool. Mr. Potato Head sang and danced for us while we were in line.

We all wore these stylish 3-D Glasses!

At the Golden Gate

Inside California Adventure felt more like a fair than an amusement park.

Later that afternoon it was back to Disneyland for a great southern Lunch at the Blue Bayou. It is located in the New Orleans section of Disneyland inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It is perhaps one of the hardest places to get into. Reservations were booked until nine that night. Thankfully we were able to get a reservation for two o'clock that afternoon.

Here we ate our meal by candle light and by the serinating paper lamps. They made it look as if we were really down south, outside at night. The crickets were chirping and the fireflies were dancing in the moonlight as a shooting star streaked the night sky. It was very hard to take picture in there so here are some of my best ones….

The very classy menu

If you are ever in Disneyland don't miss out on this dining experience. It's not one you will soon forget. But be prepared to pay this restaurant isn't cheap.

The food was excellent I had a Portobello mushroom boiled in vinaigrette with sautéed spinach and some other southern spices that I have no idea the name for. Everyone else had chicken, fish and ribs but they were not as interesting.

The Girls and their suckers

We then proceeded back over to California Adventure using the parks monorail system taking a detour through downtown Disney. Back in California Adventure we decided to go for a ride on the Grizzly river ride. We got socked! Lots of fun. Later that night after drying off at the hotel the Girls and I went back to Disneyland for the spectacular firework show. Boy what a day!
