Disneyland: Day Two, Part One

We are home at the hotel for a bit trying to get Finley to take a nap so we can stay out late tonight for Fantasmic and Fireworks.  This morning we headed straight for California Adventure, hoping to get a chance to ride the other two new rides in Cars Land, Luigi's Tires and Radiator Springs Racers. We got to the park about 15 minutes after opening and there was already a 90 minute wait for the Racers, so sent Clifton and Finley to ride the Tires while I tried to obtain some Fastpasses.  They were already for 3 pm in the afternoon and the line was one of the longest I have ever seen.  I Fastpassed Soarin' instead and I went back to meet up with Finley while she met Mater.

We walked back by the Fastpass line and there was no line, but I had to wait until 9:15 am (10 minutes away) to secure three new passes.  Luckily, a cast member took pity on me and printed me three Fastpasses for the Racers...for 10 pm tonight, the last batch of passes available.  This meant we had three Fastpasses that we could use on Tower of Terror, hooray!

Finley loved Soarin', it was like a helicopter ride in Hawaii =)  We headed over to ride the Monsters Inc ride and it had no line, so we rode it three times.  Finley was in heaven.  Then it was onto Bugs World to ride Flik's Flyers and Ladybug Spin.  We then made our way over to the Pleasure Pier to ride the Ferris Wheel, Swings, Zephyr and Jellyfish Jump.  We also had a quick lunch.  Then it was onto Little Mermaid, once again there was barely a line.  I was expecting things to be way worse today than yesterday, but other than Cars Land, California Adventure was easy.  We went over to the Cozy Cone Motel to get a cone cup before Disney Jr Live.  Finley had a blast and then we happened upon Sully.  That interaction was hysterical.  Finley asked him where Mike and Randall were, he led her over to the ride, it was too cute!  We finished the day at Tower of Terror.  Finley is asking to ride Space Mountain again (yay!) but I am pretty sure she is done with the Tower of Terror, which is fine by me.
