We were back at Disneyland again! Yesterday was the first Friday where our annual passes were not blocked. We worked half-day and picked up the little one just before nap time. She did pretty well not having a nap all day but finally fell asleep after the excitement was over. Our goal was to have a lot of character experiences since we go on the rides all the time.

The parks were definitely more crowded than I expected on a Friday afternoon. It is usually packed by the evening only, but I think everyone had the same idea we had about taking the day off.

On this trip, I wanted to visit some of the places I do not normally go to in the evening. So Pixie Hollow was the first stop. It’s a small character experience attraction that’s hidden away behind Astro Blasters at Disneyland. The wait to take a photo with Tinkerbell and a friend was about 45 minutes. They photo attraction closes at 3pm so we definitely had to see them on this trip. I love the backdrop when you meet the first fairy (we saw Silvermist). There’s giant grass blades, flowers, and mushrooms. So cute!

Next on my to-do list was the Springtime Roundup! The event usually runs until Easter, but it will be here longer this year, until June 7th! It is tucked away at the Big Thunder Ranch. There was live music and after they characters dance, they are available for photos. So you have a lot of characters to take photos with in one area with very little waits! Not a lot of people know about this event since it is hidden away. We saw Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Pluto, The White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, and Rabbit from Winnie-the-Pooh.

We took a ride on the Jungle Cruise and then headed to Mickey’s Magical Map show (pictured above). It is one of our favorite shows at Disneyland. After the show, we took the monorail back to our car to head to another event.

We only spent a few hours at Disneyland, but it was enough to put lots of smiles on our faces. We cannot wait to be back soon. Thanks for a memorable day Disneyland!
