California vacation day 4 was spent at California Adventures. When the park opened, we made a bee-line for Cars Land and it was awesome. We met Lightning McQueen and rode Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree and Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters.

After Cars Land, we got in line for the Radiator Springs Racers, and honestly, that’s where it all went downhill. When we got in line, the estimated time to wait showed 1 hour. Not bad for a place like California Adventures. THREE HOURS later, we were stuck. We had spent so much of our day waiting in line that we couldn’t leave. We had to see it through until the end. The ride was amazing, but it was definitely not worth the 3.5 hour wait it took us to get there.

From Cars Land, we grabbed lunch at Pacific Wharf. We rode the Incredicoaster multiple times, met Mr. Incredible himself, and tested our gaming skills at Pixar Pier.

At one point during the day, as we were walking by all the people and characters and rides, Jase looked around and said, “It sure is a nice day to be fishing.” 🙂

We finished our day at Goofy’s Kitchen and it was the best part of our day. Character dining is my favorite thing to do at Disney and Goofy didn’t let us down. We had a buffet of food to choose from, and the characters mingled and danced all evening. It was the perfect way to end our very busy day.

Note for the future: Plan a fast-pass for all 3 rides in Cars Land so that you don’t have to waste half the day waiting 🙂
