We were able to take my parents to Disneyland and California Adventure, nothing like having free Disney tickets.  Even though we arrived at Disney in the afternoon we were able to get quite a few rides in and then the next day we headed to CA Adventure.  Luigi's tires one of the worst rides at CA Adventure but we had to take Grandma and Grandpa on it along with Heimlich's Choo Choo train (definitely the worst Disney ride possibly ever)  Ready for Mater's Jamboree  Trip to Downtown Disney Lego store  We were the first people to arrive at Adventure Land-We love when the park is so empty, too bad it does not last very long but we were able to go on all the main rides several times in the first 2 hours.  Gotta get my rice crispy turkey leg The next day we were some of the first people at Tomorrow Land-rare picture with no people in Tomorrow Land.

Yesterday we had to drain it because it was seriously lopsided and the water was overflowing on one side, so we need to get this issue fixed so we can enjoy our pool again.
