On our last Disneyland day (for this week, at least!), we ran into Goofy first thing in the morning-- what a fun start to the day!
A snack while everyone else rode Indy-- one of these days she'll be tall enough for everything, but for now, she's totally appeased with a few chunks of chicken.
More snacks-- this would prove to be the theme of the day. This time, churros from the Haunted Mansion churro cart (the best one!).
We made sure to check out the Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island as it had just reopened.
Exploring the island.
Getting wet feet on the pontoon bridge.
The kids loved that they were free to explore the island (with a buddy). It was a nice break from the structured lines as well as a break from the crowds!
- Splash Mountain -
The kids convinced Grandpa (not that it took much convincing!) and Rob to take them on Splash Mountain a couple of times.
We took a spin on Winnie the Pooh and then headed to French Market for some Mickey-inspired lunch.
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad -
Rides, rides, rides
We were hanging out in Fantasyland and saw Belle and Gaston quickly walking through but Belle stopped to talk to Ellie when she saw that Ellie had on a "Belle" shirt! It totally made Ellie's day (and Grandpa's because it meant we didn't have to wait in line to meet her!)!!
Waiting in line for King Arthur Carrousel.

We watched part of the afternoon parade after we got off of It's a Small World-- Ellie was excited to see Belle again!
Jolly Holiday for dinner is always a favorite! Ellie loved spending the day with Rob (since he brought clementines) and Lauren (since she carried her around and shared her mouse ears)!
More snacks! Dole whip floats and the Tiki Room!
Crazy drivers on the Autopia.
Grandma took Ben and Ellie back to the hotel to go to bed and everyone else headed to Space Mountain for more thrills.
We watched the fireworks from the Space Mountain exit-- while it's not my first choice place to watch, it was fun!
More snacks-- I guess the apple balances out the churro. We just HAD to get churros from the Star Tours churro cart because some people (Janne!) think it's the best cart-- those people would be wrong! Since we were there, we went on Star Tours a couple of times.
We finished up the night with Big Thunder Mountain (my fave!) and ice cream on Main Street!
