Grand Finale!

We had been hearing a lot about Disneyland's World of Color and had been very excited to go.  We got fast passes for the last day so we could go in early and get good seats.  World of Color is a water show in California Adventure with music, fire, colors, projections all in the water show.  We got in about an hour early and ate some churros (can't go to Disney without churros right?!).  It was a gorgeous perfect evening.  The kids were even content just to lay on a blanket on the ground and play my phone. haha.

Here's a photo of all of us before the show. This was the only photo the whole trip we got of all of it. It came out cute though.

Before the show, Nana took Liam to pick out some sort of light up souvenier. She was going to let him choose, but we all knew exactly what he'd pick. He picked a light up sword. It was so cool because they had tons of light up things for the show, like light up Micky ears and such.  Just fun stuff.

Let me say, this show was AMAZING and probably one of our very favorite parts of the entire trip. We pretty much stood their watching with our mouths wide open the entire time.  At one point in the show, Liam goes, "I wish we were closer so we could get splashed." Then a few minutes later, fountains starting going of at random places in the crowd. It was sooo cool!  It's obviously very hard to get photos of, but these were the best we could do.


The photos don't even remotely do it justice! I posted some videos to my facebook as well.  One of the funniest things about the show was Addy.  Let's just say this was a LOUD and bright show. And what do you know, Addy fell asleep strapped to her daddy's chest while watching the show. She didn't even wake up with the fire came on and let me tell you, that was very BRIGHT and HOT!


During the show they flashed so many photos of different movies and the kids had so much fun anticipating which was coming next. My favorite part, of course, was the Little Mermaid scenes, but Fantasia also had some pretty amazing ones. We all agree that if we had gone on a night earlier in our vacation we definitely would have gone to see this again. 
On our way out, Liam decided he wanted to ride in the stroller. Most of you know that this child will not crash until every ounce of energy is used up.  But, crash he did! 

I carried him onto the bus and low and behold there was his friend, Suzie!  She said, "Is that my Liam?!"  And I heard a few other people whisper, "That's Liam from the other night." haha. They couldn't believe he was asleep either. ;)

We had SUCH a wonderful, wonderful time. I'm still having dreams about Disneyland. On our ride home I asked everyone what their favorite parts were. It was pretty hard to answer, but these were the responses:
Me: Meeting Ariel, World of Color and Soaring Over California
Mom: It's a Small World and World of Color
Liam: Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean
Wes: Tower of Terror and Screamin' California. 
Addy: Baby Mum Mums and Minnie Mouse ;)

One last photo.  When we got back to the hotel, Addy was wide awake. On Wes and my little date we went to a candy shop and got the cutest Minnie Mouse candy apple.  I had to take a photo of Addy with it and her Mouse Ears. We enjoyed the apple on our drive home.
