Day 5 and 6 - Monday and Tuesday:
Monday we slept in a little (thank goodness - we needed it) and then contacted Disney to change hotels. As I said before, Desert Palms was disgustingly unclean, the shower went stone cold as soon as someone upstairs turned theirs on and then Amy had a hair on her breakfast danish - that was it!!! So, Disney moved us to a much nicer hotel called the Crowne Plaza Resort and Hotel. It was MUCH better - they let us check into our room early and get on with our day at Disney, the hotel also had it's own shuttle to and from Disney that was on time and had a regular schedule (unlike the trolley system, which we waited 30 minutes for on Sunday to get to our hotel). So, with that little inconvenience behind us, we were off to finish Disneyland side of the park on Monday so we could do the California Adventure side on Tuesday and Wednesday. Monday's highlights were riding Indian Jones ride (Kelsie HATED this ride), seeing the "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" 3-D show, Star Tours ride, riding the Mark Twain river boat and hanging out at Tom Sawyer's Island - it was fun crossing bridges and going through caves. We had dinner that night at Goofy's kitchen and saw Goofy, Pluto, Minnie, the Mad Hatter, Pinocchio and Gepetto but the highlights were Minnie and Princess Aurora (from Sleeping Beauty). We had a full day and off to bed.
Tuesday we were headed to California Adventure side of the park. Favorites in the park this day was the Monsters, Inc. ride, the Bug's Life 3-D show (Kelsie didn't like the glasses), Talk Time with Crush (from Nemo - really cute show), we went to an animators class and learned how to draw Donald Duck, we saw Mr. Incredible on the street and got a pic with him. We had a great time over in the Bug's Life area doing all the "fair" rides - bumper cars, spinning lady bugs, etc. After a full day we decided we still had the energy to stay for the parade and fireworks show in the Disneyland park. We had great seats for both and really enjoyed it. After the fireworks show, we closed down the park by doing the Buzz Lightyear ride again, the Runaway Mountain Train ride and ended the night by finally riding Space Mountain. Kelsie and I were nervous to ride it but it ended up being our favorite ride yet - really fun - it was the first time the line wasn't over an hour. Since it was 11 p.m. by the time we left - we were exhausted and were planning to sleep in!!! More to come.....

Looks like a lot of fun. You must have been exhausted at the end of each day! I'm enjoying your pics.
