BEST.BIRTHDAY.EVER. Disney California Adventure (Day One)

Today is the DAY!!!  

Planning our day

Frozen Fun is at Disney California Adventure so we spent Eloise’s Big Day there.  What better way to celebrate Eloise’s 6^th birthday than meeting Elsa and Anna?  (Warning: There are a whole lot of photos)

Eloise's Big Birthday Celebration

At opening, we headed straight for Cars Land to Fastpass our way onto Radiator Springs Racers (our first time!).  We spent the morning on the rides here (not going to lie, but I love DJ’s Dance Party) until it was time for MissE’s Queen for the Day makeover.

She had an 'Elsa' makeover at the Anna & Elsa’s Boutique at Downtown Disney while Daddy and Eden headed to RIDEMAKERZ®.  

Let the Elsa-fication begin!

Meanwhile at Ridemakerz...

Queen Eloise

MissE was now ready to meet Anna & Elsa!

Eloise wasn't the only excited one to meet Anna

"Eden, did you steal that penny from the well?"

"Remember the time you punched Hans in the face?"

We had a late lunch at Ariel’s Grotto to meet the Princesses.  Eden decided to heckle the Princesses and paid for it when Snow White kissed his hand and left a lipstick mark.  Eden burst into tears! 

Mulan made him feel better as they compared muscles.

And Eloise compared shoes with Cinderella

And there was more cake...

Then it was time for more rides!  On the way, we met these two rascals...

Chip, Eloise and Dale

Chip N' Dale … where did Eloise go?

A plus with going to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure in January is that it’s the temperature is pleasant and it’s off-peak so the lines are short – yay!  But the downside is the winter hours (shorter) and a few of our favourite attractions are closed like the World of Colour.  Boo!  So we finished the evening at Olaf’s Snow Fest and Freeze the Night! A Family Dance party.  We definitely needed more time here.

Marshmallow!

Favourite ride survey:

Me: Radiator Spring Racers (because I didn’t get to go on The Twilight Zone Tower Terror… again!  Grrr!)

MrH: The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror… it’s a love hate relationship.

MissE: Radiator Spring Racers

MrE: It was a tie between Ariel’s Undersea Adventure (although he’s embarrassed to admit it) and Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!
