USA Trip 2013: Part 11.2 - The final night in Disneyland - So long, good bye, hopefully we shall see you again

[Please refer to previous postings]

At Disney California Adventure Park we saw a few street shows. This particular one was by Phileas and Ferb.

There was another street performance. This time by the Green Army Men of Toy Story.

After going for all the rides in the Adventure Park, we decided to head back to Disneyland. We want to end the trip with a final visit....

At Disneyland, we went to Adventureland to visit Tarzan's Tree House.


Quite a climb up the artificial tree.


Can see quite a lot the park from the top of the tree-house.

We really enjoyed our 11 days in Anaheim, especially the 5 days in Disneyland and Disney Adventure Park. I just couldn't imagine that we actually got to re-visit this place after my last trip here back in 1995 during my honeymoon with my wife. Now, in tow with three kids! Hopefully, we won't have to wait so long before making another trip. Who knows later trips will be with the grand kids!!!

USA Trip 2013: Part 11.1 - The final day at Disneyland - so sad - going to all the favorite rides and things we missed earlier

[Please refer to previous postings]

Started the last day at Disneyland by wearing my Disney watch that my wife got me for my birthday.


Everyday that we went to Disneyland, we always transit via the Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. This is the grandest Disneyland hotel in the resort. Took some photos to remember this hotel.


The main lobby is so grand and very American Forest Lodge themed.


This is the main Disney merchandise shop in Downtown Disney.


This is the Lego shop in Downtown Disney.



We went to Disneyland Park first and hitched a ride in a vintage fire engine.


While waiting for the trip to start, saw Mickey and Minne Mouse dancing to a band!


Driving down Main Street, USA.


Surprised or bored?


My daughter.


Self-portrait with my other daughter.


My son at the controls of the Fire Engine.



My daughter's turn.


Having a quick lunch at a food corner near the main roundabout.


The kids with one of the Chipmunks.



After going to some of our favorite rides in Disneyland Park, we headed to Disney California Adventure Park. We took a picture of the kids with  the bronze statues of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse.

USA Trip 2013: Part 10.2 - The Star Wars stage show and Toon Town

[Please refer to previous postings]

At the center of Tomorrowland is a stage where a Star Wars Jedi Training scene is staged. Participants come from the audience. My son got a chance to participate.

Mr DarthVader and a Stormtrooper.


Kids that volunteered.



My company's bag.


A bag tag that was given when we arrived at the resort all those days ago.


My daughters looking on...




A hearty leg of turkey for lunch!


We then went to a huge complex call Innoventions. Experience the latest technologies with hands-on, interactive exhibits, games and shows. Innoventions is located inside a unique rotating building spinning in the heart of Tomorrowland. To enter you need to walk to the top. As we walked around the building along an elevated pathway, we can see the Matterhorn ride....



...The Autopia center...


A clock that is actually part of a cupboard. Part of the exhibit on children's rooms.


This is the Tomorrowland Terrace where you can dine.


The kids participating in the show. The boy in blue shirt, black pants is my son.







My son trying out a squirrel hat!


A clock tower at Fantasyland.


We then went to Mickey's Toontown. Visiting Minney and Mickey's houses. Here is Minney's sitting room.


Minney's kitchen.





My kids acting out in the Toontown Prison.



Time to go home but before that, ice cream!!!


Here is the special card that points to the location of all the photos that we took on Disney's server.


At night, the lights are beautiful.
