California Adventure - Day 2

It was harder to get up on the second day, but we again left the hotel at 7:00 am to get to the rope drop in time. We always made time to go to Starbucks beforehand, though.

Our strategy was to hustle to Radiator Springs to ride Cars, and the wait was less than 30 minutes. We got the red car again, and we won again!

Next up was Guardians of the Galaxy: Breakout, and the girls opted out ... Tor was game, though, and he enjoyed it. (One of the benefits of Genie+ is free photo downloads ... we are in the back right):

The Incredicoaster followed, and again the girls sat out. Tor again loved the ride! (Unfortunately, Dad left his hat behind on this ride):

It was getting hot, so we made our way to Grizzly Peak for a water ride. The geysers didn't fire off (like last time), but Mom managed to get soaking wet while the kids stayed relatively dry:

Tor ran into Pluto on the way to Soarin' Around the World (and yes, that is Remy the Rat on his shoulder, from the movie Ratatouille):

Much like the first day, we criss-crossed the park in search of short lines and rides that we had never done before, including Web Slingers and Midway Mania (both video games). We also made a point of revisiting the giant ferris wheel ... the kids were not nearly as scared this time:

Whenever the kids had a free moment, they'd jump onto either the Silly Symphony Swings or the Golden Zephyr, since they always had short wait times:
