24 hours of disney * part two

as our monstrous adventure continued



we enjoyed the fact that california adventure wasn't too busy

 

and decided to grab some lunch at pacific wharf cafe

many of the restaurants had special monstrous summer food offerings
and we LOVED what pacific wharf cafe had added to their menu

we got ourselves a bowl of baked potato soup
in a bread bowl
which was probably my favorite part ;)

caught part of the phineas and ferb dance party

and then decided to head back towards our hotel

our thinking was that if the parks were going to hit capacity
they were going to do it somewhere around dinner
when people got out of work and school.
we wanted to have a chance to get a quick catnap
and get back before that rush

it worked perfectly!!

when we got back to the parks
i was craving sweets
and stopping in at pooh corner
only made matters worse

we ended up getting a chocolate peanut butter graham from pooh corner
fabulous!

 

and a honey lemon cupcake from the hungry bear restaurant
also very good!

this gave us the perfect opportunity to sit in the hungry bear eating area -

right on the rivers of america

in the heart of critter country

in the shade

refueling and watching 'explorers' on the davy crockett's explorer canoes

the parks were officially PACKED

and getting from one place to another was not an easy task

we had gotten a few fastpasses earlier in the day -
so we rode autopia
which is like the grand prix raceway at disney world -
only better

and spent most of our time wandering around -
watching the craziness that surrounded us

i think it is safe to say that at this point
the boys would NOT have been having much fun ;)
it was very busy
the lines for rides were VERY long
and
there wasn't much to do except watch people ...
and eat

AND ...
that is exactly what we did.

we grabbed some roasted veggie pizza from pizza planet in tomorrowland
which we both thought was really good
THEN ...
made one final stop at california adventure
before committing to disneyland for the evening

we were officially HALFWAY through our 24 hours of disney!!
