Three little girls run amuck in this house, so there are days when we just HAVE to get out and get going somewhere. We love zoos, parks, beaches, and traveling around to visit friends and family. We enjoy finding awesome deals for places that are kid friendly. Taking our three girls with us as we travel around the country is by far our most favorite thing to do.

Favorite Vacation Memory
After a long day of sledding and climbing through the hills in Lake Tahoe, our family sat in front of the fireplace in our hotel and roasted marshmallows. The soft glow on my girl's faces, mixed with their hazy, tired eyes made the warmth of the fire mean so much more.
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
Not realizing how crowded the city bus would be with my girls in San Francisco!! We had to make 4 connections and fold and collapse the stroller at each stop. It was back-breaking, frustrating and a LONG DAY!

Rides that utilize fastpass at Disney's California Adventure
In case you aren't familiar, FASTPASS is a completely free service that gets you and your family on the rides at DCA much faster!!
The FASTPASS ticket basically holds your place in line for a major attraction, while your party enjoys other activities in California Adventure.
Disney staff are INCREDIBLY helpful. If you don't understand the system, don't skip out, just ask them and they will give you PLENTY of helpful information and tools.

"Fun thrills, but not overly scary"
Disney did a good thing bringing a few thrill rides to California Adventure. REAL thrillseekers and coaster riders will point out that this ride is pretty tame compared to the standard, but for Disney, it is pretty fun. The ride starts out with a fun burst of speed and eventually goes over the only upside down loop in the park. The fastpass for this ride saves you quite a bit of time on a busy day, so plan accordingly.

"Amazing Experience"
This ride is truly breathtaking. Although it is a simulated ride, you truly feel like you are flying and soaring over California.During the ride, you "hang glide" over all the top natural spots in California and even smell the smells of these locations to create a truly magical experience. One of my favorite things is to look over at my little ones on this ride who are just truly amazed at all that is going on around them.
*There is a fastpass available for this ride and it can significantly cut down your wait time.

"THE THRILL ride!!"
This is by far the most thrilling ride at DCA. The mixture of the awesome sets and creepy atmosphere add to the drama as you drop down an elevator shaft.This ride, even the wait in line, is not for the faint of heart as it is quite thrilling (and quite fun!!).
There is a fastpass for this ride, but you still have to wait a good 15 minutes from the point you meet up with the rest of the line so plan accordingly.

"Keep the kids up late for this one"
We saw World of Color the summer it opened which meant there were LONG lines waiting to get a fastpass and LOTS of crowds at the show.We waited in a one hour line to get a fastpass (which guaranteed us a spot to watch), but were then unable to pick our showtime. The machine gave us the last showtime, which meant we had to keep our then 4 & 5 year olds up till 10pm to watch the show. We also had to arrive in the fastpass return line by 9pm to hold our spot. So in total we waited in 2 hours of lines to get our spot.
The show itself was really awesome, although I wished there were more of a plot like Fantasmic. It is truly amazing the way Disney can incorporate music, theme, water, fire and lights to make a truly awe-inspiring show. Our reserved spots were pretty good, although still far away as the close up seats are in a splash zone.
Midway through the show, due to the LATE time slot, my husband had to take our 4-year-old out because she had hit the wall. He walked her back through the lines and lines of people and found that the spot near the restroom was almost as good as the one we had waited 2 hours for via the fastpass process.
Next time we visit, we will just watch the show from whatever vantage point is available to the non-fastpassers and save us 2 hours of free time in the park.

"So fun- way more than just a ride"
I love Disney rides. They put so much thought and effort into everything they do and it really shows.This ride is beautiful. Your trip through radiator springs looks just like you are in the movie CARS. After an outside stroll through the countryside you'll head into a dark ride area where you'll meet all your favorite characters, all shining and incredibly amazing to look at. After gearing up for your race, you are off- literally racing another car full of riders through the hills to the finish line. It is not only thrilling, but incredibly enjoyable, and so much fun.
Get a fastpass EARLY to save you a ton of time in line.
