Greetings fellow Mouse Fans!
On Saturday night, I got my first look at Disney’s California Adventure. I have to admit, I was disappointed. The park definitely lacks the magic of WDW and DL. But I quickly got over my sense of boredom with the park once I got on California Screamin! Vicki, my partner in crime this evening, and I hopped in the single rider line and with barely any wait were counting down to take-off. (I admit to missing the sound of Aerosmith that I associate with this kind of coaster!) I LOVED this ride! So fast, so smooth…perfect! And man, did I scream. We got off and ran right back to the single rider line again and this time got to ride together when the person next to me chickened out at the last minute.
From here it was off to Grizzly River Run. We were quickly ushered on to a raft with a family who were the perfect ride companions. You may get wet, you WILL get soaked!!! Similar to Kali River Rapids but with slightly steeper drops, we shrieked and giggled our way through this ride. Every time we started to breathe again, we would get drenched and lose our minds laughing. Vicki’s jeans were still damp the next morning!
Dinner al fresco followed at the Wine Country Trattoria. Yum!
Tomorrow: Final thoughts!
Be well and make magic wherever you go!
