Disneyland: Day Three, Part Two

Clifton was meeting a friend out for dinner, so Finley and I headed out to Disneyland on our own with the plan to meet up with him for fireworks and Fantasmic. Finley said she wanted to ride the "boxes!" After a bit of discussion, I determined the boxes were Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. We Fastpassed it and headed over to Fantastyland to wait until it was ready. In Fantasyland, we rode Snow White, Pinocchio and the Carousel. After every ride Finley asked if it our Fastpass was ready. The castmembers were cracking up that she was so excited to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. After we rode it, we met up with Clifton. I had taken his pass by mistake, so we had to meet him at the gate. We headed over to Tomorrowland for pizza and Buzz Lightyear. After Buzz, it was time for fireworks. This was probably my most favorite ever. It was a combination of Wishes (from WDW) with music from all the rides in Disneyland. It was really spectacular. Between the fireworks and Fantasmic, we got a ride in on Astro Orbiter (it's called something else in Disneyland, but to us, it is Astro Orbiter!) We headed over to Frontierland and got an amazing spot for Fantasmic. It was much less crowded than last night, thank goodness. We got one more ride in on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and headed home for the night. We have an early morning tomorrow to try and secure another ride on Radiator Springs Racers.
