Friday was our final full day in California and our final day at Disney. We had innumerable last things to finish up and we did them all justice. Lunch was a fun highlight, the Thunder Mountain Ranch with really tasty all-you-care-to-eat BBQ and a fun musical show. Nearby there was one of Ben’s favorite attractions, a petting zoo with the most docile goats and sheep I’ve ever seen. Both kids enjoyed it a lot. We also got to check out some more of California Adventure and Ben was particularly fond of the Bugs Life sprayground, where he played for at least 30 minutes.
Later that evening, my parents took the kids home and Matt, Kelly, Donna and Ed and I stayed at the park to ride some “big kid” rides. Matt and Kelly raved about Screaming California and everyone enjoyed the Symphony Swings and the Mini Coaster. I was suckered into doing the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, which I am not keen to ever do again (being as I am about 75% chicken). After all of that, we tried to get back to Disneyland to do Indiana Jones and Space Mountain, but we were plagued by broken rides and long lines and finally EXHAUSTION.
We loved Disney and the trip overall, but it will be a long time before I’m much interested in a theme park.
