Today had one mission - to get to Radiator Springs Racers in Cars Land as quickly as possible. We knew this was a popular ride, so it was important we got there quickly otherwise the queues would be massive. Even on a week day. We were through the gates and power walking and we got there with only a 20 minute wait in front of us - so pretty good (when we left it was 45!). The ride itself is well worth it. It's a bit like Test Track in Epcot, but with the Cars theming and more interest in the race track part itself. Well worth it!
We then explored Radiator Springs, which is just like the movie in pretty much every way (even the amber light blinks slower every third blink!). We met Red the fire truck and had a few photos taken along the way. Can't recommend a visit enough!
Mrs B did California Screaming which she enjoyed. Too terrifying for me! It's a good, long roller coaster and she declared to be one of the best she ridden. Mrs B and Master B then did the Silly Symphony Swings, which are chair swings that spin round like a merry-go-round and Goofy's Sky School which is a kiddie coaster. Master B declared it to be very good.
We stopped and had lunch at Flo's V8 Cafe which served American home-cooked fare. The food and the shakes were excellent.
We then went to the Aladdin show. Now I didn't hold out much hope for this as I'd been to a few Disney shows and they were all a bit too singing and dancing. But this was much more like a pantomime and it was actually very, very good. It was a compressed version of the movie and the actors were great and the songs were really well done. I can't believe they are shutting this soon to make way for more bloody Frozen stuff. They are going to use the theatre for a Frozen show. So there goes another attraction for families and replaces it with something for little girls. Like there isn't enough for little girls in Disney already... Moan over :-)
We then went back to the hotel pool for a dip and a cool off as we were planning on heading back into Disneyland to see the night time parade.
It was much busier in there than we thought it would be, but we got a spot near the start of the parade and watched a fantastic set of floats and characters. Another one that beats Orlando. We then had the fireworks afterwards, which were great, whilst we watched projections on the small world building.
