The new California Adventure

Now off to everything new.  Why did I leave working at Disneyland again.  I missed out on all the fun this past summer.  Carsland and Buena Vista Street were new since I'd left.  There was quite a bit to see in the few days that I was there.  As I entered the gates all the light posts in the esplanade were covered with new attraction posters for new and old attractions in California Adventure.
Once inside I watched a cute short show around the lagoon called Just Add Water.  Goofy conducts the water like Mickey did in the Sorcerer's Apprentice.  Another new thing for me was the Mad Tea Party.  I'd seen GlowFest and ElecTRONica so this was nothing new to me.  I love Alice in Wonderland but not the Tim Burton version, which is what the Mad Tea Party is based off of.  
And speaking of Tim Burton, there was a display of Frankenweenie in the Animation Building.  Fitting.  They had a couple figures from the film in scenes in cases.  It's always amazing to me to see how small the figures actually are.
Of course the big new thing is Cars Land.  It really does feel like walking into Radiator Springs from the movie.  I just wish that I loved the movie.  Only two weeks earlier I was in Hogsmeade which I love about a thousand times more.  It was hard not to compare.  But it was very cool and a fantastic addition to California Adventure that it desperately needed.
We at Flo's V-8 Cafe.  We had the the Pork Loin in Coca-Cola BBQ sauce.  Defiantly big enough for two people.  But don't order the corn as a side, yuck! 
Once inside Cars Land we hit the attractions inside.  Radiator Springs Racers is a great ride.  Will you win or lose?  Who knows.
I'll be back.  Soon!

No time!

Lately I have not had a ton of time to work on my craft projects.  Life sometimes takes over all my fun!    I've had a lot of shifts that have pretty much taken over my whole day.  Disneyland, why must you take all my time away.
Even on my days off.   Yesterday I was back in the park for fun for a whole 16 hours!
My good friend Amber came into town with her two girlfriends from college to play with me in Disneyland.

We visited both Disneyland and California Adventure parks.  Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Roger Rabbit, California Screaming, Toy Story Midway Mania, Soarin' over California, The Little Mermaid, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones, Star Tours, The Disneyland Railroad, we did it all!

We closed California Adventure with World of Color which none of the other girls had seen.

And my favorite part of the night was VIP for Fantasmic.  What a View!  We finished off the night by flying over London in Peter Pan's flight.  Not a bad way to spend a day off!
