One last ride at Disney California Adventure

So we hurried to go get some popcone (sweet and spicy!). I put it in my bag, then rushed on over to ride one last ride.

One more time on Mater's Junkyard Jamboree

We rode Mater's Junkyard Jamboree a total of four times!

Yes, Shellie May was probably too short to ride, but she enjoyed sitting in my lap anyway.

Shellie May Back at Mater's Junkyard Jamboree

If you time it right, you can see some fireworks from Mater's Junkyard Jamboree!

"Wow! That is a garish jukebox. I like it!"

Heading back to Radiator Springs

Then my mom was ready to go back to the room, but she didn't mind going alone. Which left us free to go...

...back to Radiator Springs!

"Yay! But what are we going to do?"

Can you guess?

Shellie May enjoying the glow at the Mad T Party

"Wow! It's like a big blue rainbow!"

And then...the music was over. We heard like half a song. But at least we kind of saw it!

Shellie May at the Mad T Party

Shellie May's at the Mad T Party!

"WOW! This music is very loud!"

Waiting for Mater

"One more cycle and I think we get to ride!"

"WHEEE! I'm excited!"

Mater's Junkyard Jamboree at night

"WOW! Mater's Junkyard Jamboree is pretty at night!"

And there was almost no line!

Shellie May on Radiator Springs Racers

Shellie May had her VERY OWN SEAT on Radiator Springs Racers!!!

Mom kindly took a photo of me, but I think she's used to cameras that, you know, aren't awful.

"OH MY GOODNESS THAT WAS SO FUN CAN WE RIDE AGAIN PLEASE????"

Maybe next trip, sweetheart.

"Aw."

But don't worry. We can have more fun in Cars Land for a much shorter wait.

"Yay!"

Shellie May about to board

"Oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness!!!!!!!"

"WE ARE NEXT IN LINE TO RIDE!!!!!!!!!"

Lincoln Continental Breakfast

"Do you think we can get a Lincoln Continental Breakfast?" asked Shellie May.

"Shellie May, that is just a fun sign. And it is a pun. The Lincoln Continental is a type of car.

Shellie May thought about that. "Does that mean that Lincoln Continentals serve the breakfast?"

"Maybe."

"Because if a sign said 'ham and eggs breakfast,' I would expect them to serve ham and eggs...." Shellie May looked horrified.

"I'm pretty sure they would serve car food like motor oil," I said. "Not food made out of cars."

"Oh. Whew!" She paused. "Although I don't think motor oil would taste very good, would it?"

Shellie May can see the cars

"Oh my goodness I can see the cars I think we are going to load soon OH WOW I'M EXCITED!"

The funny thing is, Shellie May has been on this ride before! But she's still as excited as a little cub.

(I love that about her!)

Shellie May in queue

Eventually, the line started moving again. Yay!

Shellie May by red rocks

"Wow! This looks kind of like home!"

Shellie May with a spotlight and Radiator Springs

"Oh no! We have to stop, don't we?" asked Shellie May.

"What?"

"Because there's a stoplight!"

"Oh, Shellie May, that is a spotlight. Well, actually, more of a search light, actually."

"Oh," said Shellie May. "Hey! That spring looks like a radiator! Wow!!! Will you take my picture with it?"

Still in line for Radiator Springs Racers

We...are...still...in...line!

Shellie May posing in the Radiator Springs queue

"Hi!" said Shellie May.

The Single Rider line went pretty well for a brief amount of time before the ride broke down! Some people left the line, but we waited.

Shellie May is going to ride Radiator Springs Racers!

Then I met up with my mom again (she'd had to go back to the room to get her sweatshirt--it was CHILLY!). Helpful hint: If you are meeting up with someone at the entrance of Cars Land, be sure to specify WHICH ENTRANCE. I was pretty sure I'd told my mom the main entrance, which I figure is the one with the postcard, but no luck. We wasted some time waiting.

And speaking of wasting time waiting!

My mom didn't arrive until after Radiator Springs Racers FPs had been distributed, so we did Single Rider, which was posted at, I don't know, 30 or 40 minutes?

"I am being very patient!" said Shellie May.

Shellie May swinging around Paradise Pier

"WHEEEE!" said Shellie May.

"Wheeeee!" I said.

 

I sure do love the Golden Zephyr.

Shellie May takes a ride

We still had a little time, and you know what that means...

Golden Zephyr!

Is that the Fun Wheel reflected in the seat?!

Shellie May at dusk

Looking out at Jumpin' Jellyfish. (I believe that ride is in Tokyo DisneySea too!)

Shellie May on King Triton Carousel

"I love carousels!" cried Shellie May.

Shellie May with Pretty Lights on Paradise Pier

"Paradise Pier's lights are very pretty, but we're almost on the carousel, right?"

Shelie May loves carousels

"I love carousels! Do you think I will get to ride soon?"

"Hey, stop looking at the canopy. I want to ride!"

Shellie May at Paradise Pier

Trying to get a cute picture.

Cute, but you're too dark, Shellie May.

Ack! Now you're too close and too bright!"

...well, some better.

Shellie May at Duffy's Meet and Greet

"Wow! There are lights even when Duffy's gone!"

"Hellooooo! Is this a painting of a lighthouse in Cape Cod?"

My mom had gone back to the room to get her sweatshirt, but I believe it was a CM who took our picture!

Shellie May is resting AGAIN

You can't tell, but it's totally starting to get darker!

Shellie May! You can't possibly be tired. We were just sitting down for 20 minutes!

Shellie May at Turtle Talk with Crush

"Is this supposed to look spooky?" asked Shellie May.

Hm...maybe...

The show was fun! Shellie May got tongue tied and didn't ask Crush anything, though. Oh well. Maybe next time!
