Day 9 – Disneyland

We all enjoyed a sensational last day at Disneyland.

We started the day in California Adventure Park at 9am and rode the relatively new Guardians of the Galaxy ride, which took over the building from the old Hollywood Tower Hotel ride.

We also rode California Screamin’ again several times and Toy Story’s Midway Mania, before one more ride on Radiator Springs. We sat at a table in the shade overlooking Symphony Swings and ate lunch before riding the Soarin’ over the World ride.

We then walked across to the Disneyland park and rode a lot of our favourites including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (several times), and took this photo below of the Feral Goat tsum tsum in Jessica’s hand whilst on the ride …

We also enjoyed rides on Star Tours, tea cups, Autopia before eating dinner at one of our favourite restaurants and locations in Disneyland, the Hungry Bear Cafe.

After dinner, we slowly walked back down Main Street and spent some time in the shops before walking back to the California Adventure Park to ride California Screamin’ again one last time before it closed for the evening (and before it is rebranded to another ride next year).

We walked out of the park slowly and stopped off at a few shops before departing for the last time for this trip and driving back to our hotel arriving at around 10pm.

Tomorrow is our last day in the USA for this trip and our 15 hour flight back to Melbourne departs around 10pm local time.  We have a few more items on the shopping list to attend tomorrow and also have the unenviable task of fitting everything into the suitcases and bags.
