Day 9: Disneyland and Ontario Mills

Day starts as usual for The Candy Cane Inn with breakfast delivered to our room.  Out the door ready to get to the park for it opening at 8am.  Arrive just as it opens and off to ride Indian Jones.
It's broken, so grab a fast pass and off to Splash Mountain.

Splash Mountain

Ride completed, so over to Thunder Mountain.
It's now time for our fast pass for Indian Jones, so walk over to see it's working and it is!!
Still it's a 10 min wait even with the fast pass, but it's over 70 mins in normal stand-by.

This was Meg's first time on the ride and she screamed and held my hand during the whole ride.

Still she managed it.

Time getting on so off to Snow White and The Carousel.

On The Carousel

It's now approaching 9:45am, so over to California Adventure for it opening.

Get into the park and wait at the Pier for the tape drop and head off to California Screamin' as it's been fixed and it's open.

Paradise Pier

Waiting to go!

Meg comes on for her first ride on a proper coaster and as I've said to her for ages she would love it, she does.

After this the wait for Midway Madness is 60 mins, but oh, we've a front of queue slip from the other day, so straight onto the ride.  Love this ride.  I get the highest score for the two cars!!  In your face.

Over to Goofy's Flight School and ride as single riders as the queue is quite long. 

Meg wants to go back on California Screamin', so back and ride this as single riders too.

The park is now getting very busy and as we go over to the tortilla factory we find it closed :-(.

We take the small walk back to the hotel and collect the car and drive the 30 odd miles to Ontario Mills Mall. 

It takes about 40 mins and we grab lunch.  spend the next hour and half shopping and buying more clothing.

Think we'll have to get another bag!  Just as well our luggage is 9 bags.

Drive back to The Candy Cane and relax for a while.

What to do for tea??

Mrs Knotts Chicken.
Drive the 10 mins to Knott's Berry Farm and park the car.  Over to get a chicken meal to take away.
Lovely Fried Chicken, Mashed potatoes, Baked Beans, Biscuits and Gravy all eaten in the car on plates from the take-away!!  Classy!

We also purchased some Boysenberry Jam and Sauce to take home.

Back to the hotel to relax and get some sleep.  At 2am Denise's phone goes off!!  Back to sleep.
