Disneyland Day Four

Today was a big and fun day for Finley! When we arrived, Alice, the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts were all out, but Finley wanted to head to Small World after a quick Astro Orbiter ride. We got to the park right after opening and got to meet four princesses on our way to Small World (after riding Alice twice) only to find out it was closed. So we boarded the train for New Orleans Square to ride Pooh and the Haunted Mansion. I love the Nightmare Before Christmas theme, it is going to be hard to go back to the original, especially the music. After a ride on Pirates, it was on to the Jingle Jangle Jamboree to meet Woody, Jessie and Minnie. Finley also played some reindeer games with some really sweet cast members. It was then back over to Small World after riding Pinnochio and Snow White. Finley did not like the holiday Small World, she especially missed the song. We then headed to Toon Town to visit Donald's boat, Goofy's house and to ride Gadget Go Coaster and Toon Town Spin. Goofy's House is Finley's happy place! Finley was sad that we still hadn't found Donald or Daisy, just lots of Goofy and Pluto. We rode the teacups then grabbed some lunch and then watched the holiday parade. Finley finally saw Donald and Daisy, but she still wants to meet them. We went back to Jingle Jangle Jamboree hoping to find Daisy or Donald, but there was no such luck. We did some crafts and Finley played more reindeer games. The cutest part was when Minnie came over to Finley and played the wreath toss with her. Minnie had a huge line of kids waiting to see her, so it was incredibly special that she took the time to visit with Finley unprompted. Finley rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad for the first and only time this trip, which shocked us since we rode it a dozen times last time. We rode the Haunted Mansion again, then headed over to meet Pooh, Rabbit and Tigger. Finley hopped up to Tigger, which was adorable. The park had gotten crazy busy, so we headed back to Tomorrowland to ride Autopia, Space Mountain and Star Tours, we also walked through Innoventions quickly. We also took a monorail circle tour, which Finley loved. By that time we had been at the park all day with no nap and Finley crashed. She slept all the way home and went to bed with no dinner, she was pooped! Tomorrow it is back to California Adventure and then home. Finley has already started saying she doesn't want to leave.
