Today as our last day in Anaheim, so we spent it at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. 

We started with another character breakfast which was FUN!


Then rode our favourite disneyland rides and the disneyland railroad. 



We spent the afternoon at Disney California Adventure, riding our favourite rides there. 

Once again my face on the radiator springs racers was rather entertaining. 

We met Donald!

And rode the toy story midway mania ride. This photo of the Mr Potato Head made me laugh. 

Aaron rode California Screamin again. 

And I rode the carousel haha. 

We went back to the hotel for a break then back to disneyland for a bit. There we shopped and rode the jungle cruise. 


We went to the Cove bar at DCA for dinner, including a yum cocktail for me. 

Then went to our seating for World of Colour, an amazing light and water show. It was so impressive! The pictures below were all projected on water being shot in the air. 








Tomorrow we fly to Vegas for our final two nights in the US. Can't wait!

Universal and Hollywood

Today we went on a tour to Universal Studios. 



We had a pretty awesome day doing the usual things you do there, like rides:



did the studio tour,



saw some cool stuff from Back to the Future



saw the animal actors show,






met Juice, who was in The Proposal,

and watched the Waterworld show. 



Following Universal, our tour bus went to Hollywood Boulevard.


This was particularly amazing tonight as the road was closed for Paul McCartney to perform a concert in the middle of the street for Jimmy Kimmel Live. There were so so many people there so we had to watch most of it on big screens but it was still amazing. He performed lots of Beatles and Wings songs. Pics are blurry but here's a couple.

Disneyland

Today we spent the day at disneyland again!

We slept in this morning so we missed out on the free hotel breakfast. As we were passing Plaza Inn at  Disneyland, we noticed they were having a character breakfast so we decided to eat there.  It was so much fun!




We tried to do as many things as we could today that we hadn't done before, such as the Peter Pan ride and the Enchanted Tiki Lounge with Dole Whips!  The enchanted tiki lounge is so cool! Full of singing birds and flowers - it's one of the first uses of animatronics at disneyland (it opened in the early 1960s). 


We also rode the ship Columbia which we hadn't done before. It takes you around the rivers of America, where you see different things along the way. 





We also rode its a small world. 



Of course we took a pic of the Maori one. 

We took advantage of the single rider lines on many rides throughout the park so we could walk on instead of waiting up to 45 min. 

We also got to meet up with David and the Disney Ninja from fresh baked disney (www.freshbakeddisney.com) which was pretty cool!

We had lots of fun today but we are both exhausted again so currently trying to decide if we should go back this evening for the fireworks or watch them tomorrow evening instead.
