Duffy and Shellie May in White Water Snacks

OK, guilty. We are still in White Water Snacks.

Duffy and Shellie May are grand

Duffy and Shellie May (and my mom and me) spent some time in the Grand Californian. It is a great place to relax.

Duffy and Shellie May and food

The answer? We were going to the Grand Californian!

The reason...?

Nachos, of course! Half-and-half (half chicken, half beef). Everything on the side because that's how my friend wanted it and we were splitting the order.

NACHOS

Duffy's journey

Then we took a long walk...

...because the path towards Soarin' was all closed off, mostly. Do you know where we were going? Or why?

Duffy and Shellie May waiting (again)

I called to move our reservation at Cafe Orleans to what I thought was a better time for us...kind of a mistake but oh well...

Duffy and Shellie May and Doc

Duffy and Shellie May were both feeling fine, but they still said hello to Doc McStuffins.

Duffy and Shellie May in the Animation Building

Oh! That is a somewhat better picture of the Animation Building (except for my hands...oops....) But you can see a LITTLE of how great it is!

Duffy and Shellie May waiting

And then we made our way toward Disney California Adventure! Ouch, that sun!

And....waited again...but this is in the amazing Animation Building! (Which is also air-conditioned...hooray!)

Shellie May with scenery

I assume we had a little while to wait! Hey, it is Figaro!

I don't quite understand why there is a replica of Rapunzel's prison here, but who am I to judge?

Regal Duffy and Shellie May

"These colors are so fancy!" said Shellie May.

Duffy in a Fairy Tale

I...do not remember why we were here. Probably meeting my friend who cannot ride Space Mountain.

Duffy and Baymax

Can't resist a Baymax photo, even if it's just a sign for an attraction that had not been there for a long time...

Duffy at Document Control

HEY we get to ride Space Mountain! In the special side car and everything!

SO EXCITED!

Shellie May going through Frontierland

It is a beautiful (warm) morning!

Where do you think we are going...?

Shellie May in the west

Bonus, you can see my silhouette!

Successful mission

We are back in Disneyland with our Fastpasses!

And we met another Duffy! This one seemed to be on display keeping a Cast Member company in Frontierland.

Duffy is a runner

It is already time to get Radiator Springs Racers Fastpasses....so Duffy and I bravely made our way...

Out of Frontierland...

...down Main Street...

...through the Esplanade...

...onto Buena Vista Street...

(I am not sure if people would be allowed to Disneybound like this today, but they could in March 2015...)

...Towards A Bug's Land, where we get a Fastpass for Radiator Springs Racers...

...then cut through A Bug's Land...

...into Hollywoodland to get a Fastpass to meet Anna and Elsa (you needed a Fastpass back in March 2015).

"WHEW!"

"Hey, those outfits do not match each other very well..."

And yes, I like Elias & Co. so much I even took a photo of the floor at the entrance!

Duffy and rocks

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was delightful!

Duffy and Shellie May waiting

This is the special place you can wait if someone in your party uses a wheelchair! It was early in the morning; it would have been probably as quick to go in the regular line, but that has stairs.

Shellie May and the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness

"We are going to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!"

Duffy and Shellie May waiting

My mom and I got a castle picture while we waited for my friend. (Not shown, castle picture.) But hey, inadvertent Walt in the backgroundd!

Duffy and Shellie May and Tomorrow

Pretty sure my mom and I (and the bears) are headed to get a Space Mountain fastpass...except...Space Mountain was closed! Oh no!

One more day at Disneyland

Duffy and Shellie May and I have one last day at Disneyland!

Duffy and Shellie May at Camelot Inn and Suites

We have come back to our castle! (Camelot Inn and Suites)

Duffy and Shellie May saying good night

Good night, Buena Vista Street! Good night, Disney California Adventure! We love you!
