I Do Believe in Fairies! (Monday)

Stephanie says: This week has been the longest year in my life!
Sienna says: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Derek says: Ugh

We hope all Sienna's friends are enjoying being back at school this week. Sienna misses you all.




Today started with us listening to some nice Bluegrass music while we waited for Peter to post some important papers. Sienna played washboard while Derek played some kind of bangy thing.

Sienna decided that she would be very brave and would have a ride in California Screamin', the scariest ride in the parks. She did it so she could get the same tee shirt that Derek bought after we did the ride last night.

After the roller coaster ride, we walked from CAP back to Disneyland where we were going to finish off Fantasy Land and Tomorrow Land. We found another Arial grotto complete with photo opportunity.







Then it was lunch at Blue Bayou, a New Orleans style restaurant set in simulated darkeness inside the Pirates of the Carribean ride. The Monte Christo Speciale was the lowlight of the lunch. It is a deep fried sandwich made from "egg bread" with ham and cheese inside dipped in a raspberry and grape sweet sauce. Truly hideous despite a Lonely Planet recommendation! The gumbo was great, however, and the jumbalaya passable.

Back to the rides with a quick rocket trip and then a return to Buzz Light Year Astro Blaster where Derek achieved Level 4.

























Autopia was next. You drove a car with a hybrid engine around a railroad track.
Sienna says: I got to drive a real car all by myself without a license. Then she got handed a license!

We then split up with Stephanie and Sienna going to It's a Small World After All and to the Fairy Fantasy Faire. Peter went to see Innoventions while Derek and Gina had another fantastic roller coaster ride at Space Mountain.





At Fairy Fantasy Faire, Sienna saw a coronation ceremony for princesses and princes selected from the crowd. Belle, Moulin and Aurora were in attendance.
