The Jones Girls

Rob joined us to go to Downtown Disney to watch Toy Story 3 at the AMC Theaters.    This is the very first time that the girls have seen a movie in the Big Screen Theatre…a what better place to take them for their first time than the MEGA AMC Theatre at Downtown Disney!!

We saw the 4:15pm showing.    We got some great seats, the theatre was not crowded at all.   I got everyone popcorn and licorice.  Everyone was excited and so happy.   It was a great Toy Story 3.    We LOVED it!

Then we went back to the parking structure to get the stroller and a few things and we headed out to the trams and went to Disneyland.  We grabbed some dinner…Turkey legs and roasted corn – can I just say YUM!!

After dinner we sat back and watched Fantasmic!!  This is the first time the girls saw it since last year.   The dragon is HUGE and there are some neat new water effects and pyro fireworks.

Afterwards we watched the fireworks then I got them cute Minnie Mouse keychains.   Then we got back in our car at 10:30pm to drive home.  It was a lot of fun and another exciting day at Disneyland!!

California Adventure Disneyland opened up an amazing water light show 10 days ago.  Today we spent the day there and then saw the show at 10:15pm tonight.  Feli joined us today.

We waited in line for 45 minutes to get fast passes in the morning. This gave us Priority Seating for a good view.

During the day we saw the theatrical performance Aladdin.  The show will be ending at the end of August and a new performance will begin in the late fall or by December.    It was spectacular and the Genie was so funny!

Then we went to see Nemo & Crush interactive show.  Maryssa especially enjoyed this show!

After that, we went to Play House Disney.  Feli had just as much fun as the girls did!!

We had gotten Fast Passes for the ride Soaring.   Maryssa was too short, so Feli stayed with Maryssa and got her cotton candy while I took the other girls on Soaring.  They went crazy and LOVED it!!  It is a truly amazing experience.

At 5:15 we grabbed a spot to watch the Pixar Parade while getting a bite to eat.    It was fun and relaxing.   The characters squirted water on us!!

Then we went to It’s A Bugs Life Land and rode some rides and watched a 3D movie there.

We did a little shopping and I got the girls Fantasmic Micky Ears and a few other things.   

At 9pm we jumped in line to wait to get our spot to watch World of Color.  One of the Cast Members told me that over 25,000 people a day were watching the show!!  That is amazing!!

The show was spectacular.    We weren’t expecting to get as wet as we did.    Thank goodness I had brought blankets to cover up the girls to protect them from getting wet and to keep them warm.   They stayed pretty dry but I got pretty wet.

Today our neighbors, Amy and Rob, came over for dinner.    I told them that today was the last day the Electric Parade would be at Disneyland.    We decided that we would go see it tonight. 

So, we left 3 hours early to make sure we got a good place to watch the parade.   Could you believe there was no room to sit!!  We lucked out and found a handicap area, since Amanda has club radian hand and she loses balance, she qualifies to be in the handicap area.   We got an upfront and great spot.  We had to wait over 2 hours for the parade.   I brought lots of dessert snacks and drinks for the girls.    Finally about 30 minutes before the parade which happens to be their bedtime, at 8:30pm they all crashed out.  I had brought their warm jackets and thick, warm blankets.  They were all bundled up with full bellies and crashed out.

They woke up right before the parade and loved watching it.  I am so glad Amy came with us.  We had such a wonderful time.

This weekend is the last weekend for the Electric Parade at Disneyland.  It will be moving to Disneyworld in Florida.

With this in mind, we decided to go to Disneyland today.  Our friend Britney went with us.  We had a total blast. We went on every ride in Fantasy Land.    The girls had a blast driving cars and a nice cast member gave us fast passes to go on a couple of rides without waiting in line.

So, Britney took the triplets to the Rocket Ship ride and I took Savannah on Star Tours and then we went on Space Mountain.  Space Mountain was the biggest ride Savannah has ever been on and this was a huge and big deal!    She was scared and loved it all at the same time.  When we coasted in after the ride, she asked, mommy, can we go again!!    It was so much fun!!

At about 8pm, we ventured over to California to watch the Electric Parade.    It was really crowded and we couldn’t find a spot to park and view.   The girls were crashing out and exhausted.   So we grabbed a quick dinner and then went home.   Hopefully we can see it this weekend before it ends.

A friend of mine, Isa, who I have been friends with online was traveling down from San Francisco and staying at the Disneyland Hotel, The Grand Californian.     We planned on meeting today for the first time in person!

Isa and I were pregnant together with our multiples.   She has twin girls, Tamsin and Audrey and they just turned 4 and are a few months older than the triplets.  I also met her husband.

They had already spent the day doing rides at Disneyland so they wanted to have a nice dinner at Downtown Disney.  So, we met up with them at Downtown Disney.  We put in a reservation at The Rainforest Cafe, but it was 1 and 3/4 hour wait!   We went to their hotel and Isa changed her girls clothes.  We talked and walked through Downtown Disney for a while.  It was a bit chilly and her girls were getting very tired.  It was about 6:30pm.     She decided that they would just go up to their room and we would go ahead and go to Rainforest Cafe.

So, my friend Britney, and my 4 girls had dinner at Rainforest Cafe. The girls thought it was amazing.   They loved the animated animals, butterflies and the rainforest storm that encountered us every 1/2 hour.    After dinner they all wanted a toy and I took them down to the Rainforest Gift shop which is amazing!!  They all picked out Crocodiles.    I tell you, it is really like I have 4 boys than girls!!  LOL!
