Since we're seasoned D-Land vets, we knew that on our DCA day, Toy Story Midway Mania had to be our first ride of the morning...or else we'd have to wait in a ridiculously LONG line later in the day. So we did the sprint back to the pier and snagged some stylin' 3D glasses:
Cute kids in Bugs' Land.
Bug eyes!
That evening we headed over to the Disneyland Hotel for dinner at Goofy's Kitchen. Before the trip, during the planning stages, I asked the kids to choose one restaurant that they wanted to eat at while in the 'Land'. They both, without hesitation, chose Goofy's!
Dancing 'The Twist' with Goofy. I love that my reserved boy is starting to come out of his shell! Finally! Molly, as we all know, has never been in a shell! :)

Our last day of vacation. Sniff, sniff. We made sure to grab lots of fastpasses early on so that we could hit our favorite rides a couple more times. This trip worked out REALLY well for Grayson since Molly wasn't quite ready (or tall enough) to ride most of the 'headliners'. But we were still able to use her entrance ticket to collect fastpasses, so we always had 4 for each ride. Which meant that G got to go once with me and then again with Dave, with very little time spent waiting in lines! But as you'll see, once you scroll down, next trip a certain brave little girl may use all her fastpasses for herself!

While G and I were off using said fastpasses, Dave and Molly got to experience something new! Little Miss got asked to pilot (steer?) the Mark Twain riverboat! So cute (and Daddy was great about taking pictures).
See her sweet little name that she wrote all by herself? Love it.
After that Dave and I switched kids, and Molly and I hung out in Adventureland while the boys rode Indiana Jones one last time.
We enjoyed one last yummy lunch in the park and had time for a few more rides before heading out. Mind you we had been in the park(s) for 4 days now, and for 4 days Molly had refused to go on any of the 'thrill' rides. Then, with just 3 rides left, she decided to be a daredevil! First, she went on (and loved) Star Tours, and then?...
Space Mountain!!! Granted, she was just a hair over the 40 inch height requirement, and 3-4 different cast members checked her against the measuring sticks as we proceeded thru the line, but in the end she made it on and even let out some "woo hoos" during the ride! Our next trip will be even more fun if she, too, decides to be a thrill-seeker (and is finally tall enough to go on most everything)!
And that was that. Another great trip.
And do you know what my husband said in the car after we got home???

"That was fun. Let's start saving for next year."
Woo hoo!
