Lynch's Take Disneyland Day 4

Since Fantasy Land was sooo busy earlier in our stay, this is where we started our day. I love walking through the castle. 


In Fantasyland, pixie dust practically glimmers in the air. From the whimsical topiaries to the cobblestone streets, the entire land reflects the enchantment of the stories it tells. Inspired by medieval villages of France, Germany, Switzerland and England, the architecture features the picturesque timbers and tiled rooftops of fairy-tale cottages and castles.


We made our way to Adventureland, to embark on a bold expedition into excitement and intrigue! This part of the park is a captivating world, where natural wonders, incredible wildlife and untold danger surround you. You can enter a lost temple or delve into dark jungles. We sailed into action on the Jungle Cruise and then tumble into The Temple of the Forbidden Eye on the Indiana Jones Adventure. Then we climb into Tarzan's Treehouse (which I am pretty sure used to be called the Swiss Family Robinson's Tree House) and discovered a bird's eye view of the surrounding wilderness. 


Adventureland is a place where you can experience the thrill of exploring exotic lands, where every step of the journey is a foot further into the unknown. To that end, the outposts are reminiscent of the Victorian expeditions embarked upon by famous travelers such as Sir Richard Francis Burton, David Livingston and Isabella Bird Bishop, as well as classic adventure films. With the addition of the Indiana Jones Adventure, the famous films of George Lucas also pervade the land, adding an extra dimension of cinematic excitement — not to mention everyone's favorite archaeologist — to the terrain.


I don't know how I managed to be hungry after the non stop eating we have been doing, but I Soldiered on had clam chowder in a bread bowl. It his the spot.


Chris and I were both pooped (you do LOTS of walking) so we headed back to take naps and then get ready for our dinner at Ariel’s Grotto. We opted to eat here because they give you priority seating (which turned into standing and I'm not 100 percent sure was worth it) to see World of Color.


The World of Color nighttime water spectacular weaves water, color, fire and light into a kaleidoscope of fantasy and imagination. More than 1,000 jets of water form incredible shapes in time to the music as Disney characters come to life on a shimmering veil of mist. Since it was a holiday, we were able to experience the magic of Kringle Academy elves, Lanny and Wayne — from Disney Prep & Landing — who make a special introduction to the show.
