We always take this day a little slower as this park feels more like EPCOT or the MGM (or whatever they call it now) in WDW. The entire main street of Hollywood is currently blocked off and really takes away from the experience as it leaves narrow corridors to walk down and between the World of COlor construction and some other midway stuff being redone... it felt a little odd to say the least, but we had a good time.Oh, and Aladdin wasn’t showing this day, so we had to plan to come back Friday for that, which really messed up our last day plans.
We had to wait almost an hour for that new Toy Story Mania or whatever it was called. I can't believe how many people but in line in front of us to catch up with their "group, family, etc." That was my big complaint of the trip. I can't figure whey they didn't put Fast Pass on this ride! We also had to wait 30 minutes for Mulholland Madness, not sure that was worth it. We usually skip a lot of that midway type stuff in CA because we didn’t think the theming or anything was special enough. So we are excited for the big changes they are making in California Adventure. We’d rather do Soarin’ (one of our fav’s) multiple times. But as you can see we only made it one once on this day.
Then we went DL to upgrade our "Give A Day" vouchers for annual passes. Kenneth ended up upgrading our 3-day park hoppers and GAD vouchers to get annual passes because we know we are coming back at least once this year.
We went on Star Tours (which seemed like the umpteenth time, I am not sure I even got them all in the list… but it was such a short wait and the little one kept asking). Then we rode the Blue Monorail and sat with the drive to Storytellers for dinner.
By then we were done for the day. And Awsumb was asleep so we actually took a cab from The Grand to our hotel to get home quickly. Worth every penny.
It was a little more overcast, but not cold.
