We were a little slow moving this morning, and slept in a bit. When we arrived at the park, we entered California Adventure first. The first thing we did was grab a Fastpass for Soarin’ for later that day.
We didn’t have a ton of time before our dining reservation, so we checked wait times and went to the Mickey Fun Wheel (stationary, of course- none of that moving car for me!). I used the zoom on my real camera and got some pretty cool pictures of the mountains in the distance, and a fake mountain much closer (almost all of my pictures are just taken with my phone, which was an iPhone 6 at the time of this trip)
After our short stay in the park, we headed out and walked over to the Disneyland hotel for a reservation at Goofy’s Kitchen
We once again entered DCA, and went to use our Soarin’ Fastpass.
After our trip around the world, we entered a short stand-by line and rode California Screamin’
hopped over to Disneyland and grabbed a Fastpass for Star Tours a few hours later.
From there, we headed to the Star Wars Launch Bay to meet Chewbacca and Darth Vader. I get the biggest, cheesiest grin on my face every time I meet Chewie haha…
We were hanging around afterwards, checking out the Star Wars stuff when a cast member came over, commented on our tshirts and then handed us a card with a picture of Bobba Fett and let us know he had seen him hanging around back by the cantina.
We headed back there, where there was a cast member standing by a nondescript door. We just hung out for a bit, waiting for Bobba Fett to appear but after standing around for about 10 minutes we went over and asked the cast member what time he would be showing up. The cast member smiled at us and pushed a button we hadn’t noticed, and within a minute Bobba Fett had emerged. Apparently we had to ask about him.
It was really cool to meet a rare character like that!
We finally headed back outside after spending well over an hour in the Launch Bay, where we ran into some Stormtroopers.
We decided we wanted to meet another character, so we checked the app and decided on Belle.
We were getting close to our dinner reservation in Downtown Disney, but we ran over to grab a Fastpass for Indiana Jones first.
Our supper that evening was at Naples, which I really enjoyed.
