Disneyland Part {2}!

Day 2 of Disneyland we decided to spend the bulk of our day at California Adventures.  First stop was the new Cars Land and it was definitely worth seeing!
The Cars Racers ride is one of the newer rides at Disneyland and it did not disappoint!  We hit this ride very first in the morning as the lines for this one can get upwards of 2 hours!  
Don't mind my ugly mug but I dare say, this may be my personal new favorite ride.  I can't speak for anyone else that was on this trip with me but I for one would totally go back in a heart beat just to ride Racers over and over!
The souped up cars and street shows were so fun, I was dancing along for sure!
And Lightning McQueen driving around Radiator Springs.
Cute girls!
For lunch we dined at Ariel's Grotto.
We had patio seating which was quite pleasant in the shade and we had a great view of the roller coaster:)
And what would Ariel's Grotto be without PRINCESSES!!!!!!  First up was the beloved Belle, she was so gracious with my girls and for the record, Belle is Little R's favorite:)
You are beautiful Belle, thanks for stopping by and making my girls day:)
Oh my, the Princesses just keep coming!  Next was the stunning Snow White!  Her voice was super sweet and my girls smiles make paying for this experience totally worth it!
These beauties got to meet Sleeping Beauty two days in a row!
And last but not least (and my personal favorite) the ever charming Cinderella.
A good hug by a Princess will always make the rest of your day perfect:)
After a good lunch, the kids earned their crowns and off we went to play some boardwalk games on the Pier.
Hot dang, we have WINNERS!!
Winner!!
Winner!!
Winner!!
Winner!!
 I think this is a ride everyone loves, young and old:)  Toy Story Mania!
Grandpa shooting at G;)
G and I rode together, I won;)
Awwww.....The Little Mermaid.  Little R sure enjoyed being with grandma this trip, I'm pretty sure every ride she wanted to sit with grandma:)
Cute ride:)
MY DREAM CHAIRS HAVE BEEN FOUND!!!!  If you follow my Pinterest boards, I have these chairs pinned!  When we ran into them in the best shaded, quiet corner EVER in California Adventures, my heart skipped a beat!
They were so comfortable and roomy!  They were everything I was hoping they'd be!
We all enjoyed this out of the way corner, away from the hustle and bustle and loud music and sounds.  This spot was a little treasure find for sure!
I think we all lounged in these chairs for a good 45 minutes, it was a perfect place to re-group and head back out into the park.
Mr. D even loved them and found them online for me.  I want the pink and purple ones by my backyard pool!
I love all the hats you can buy at Disney.  Maleficent had just come out so Maleficent stuff was EVERYWHERE!  Little R looks really adorable in the Maleficent hat:)
This one was new that I'd never seen in years past, it was a giant tutu hat with mickey ears on top (obviously the tutu is covering the ears).
Such a short but funny little ride, Heimlich's Chew Chew Train;)  And notice who Little R is with once again?  That's right, grandma and grandpa right behind them:)
Baby R wasn't so sure about this train at first, I'm not sure why, but as soon as we got off she obviously wanted to go on it again and again:)
