Ever since Morgen was little we have taken a trip to either Disneyland or Disneyworld almost every other year. I think at last count Morgen had been there 8 times and he is 13. So since we were already in So. Cal. for Kiel's wedding, it was an easy choice. Since we were only going for 1 day (instead of the usual 3) we bought the pass for both parks. Then spent the morning at California Adventure. 
Soarin' over California is one of my favorite rides. I love it when you can smell the oranges in the orchard and the pine over the river. The fast pass for it was later in the day, so we went on the Tower of Terror three times before going back to Soarin'.
Morgen loved getting soaked on the Grizzly River Run. I must admit that it felt pretty good, since it was a pretty hot day for Cally. My hair went a little crazy for the rest of the day, but it was worth it.
They are remodeling the lake in the middle of the park to have a laser and light show there starting next year. You can see the mess behind the boys in this photo.
One of the newest attractions: Toy Story Mania. It is a fun ride sort of like the Buzz Lightyear ride, where each passenger gets to shoot a dart gun at targets and compete for the high score. Of course Morgen kicked all of our behinds, 147,800 to my 43,800.
