4th Of July, Disney Style

We spent the 4th of July with our nephew at Disney's California Adventure.

A splendid time was had by all including watching a special fireworks presentation. Instead of the regular Disney-themed fireworks, we were presented with red, white, and blue fireworks. What was particularly amazing were fireworks that exploded in the shapes of stars, smiley faces, boxes, and pentagons.

Unfortunately, the show had to stop early because the wind started picking up and Disney didn't want to risk embers drifting into the nearby neighborhoods. Especially since California is a statewide tinderbox right now.

One of the biggest treats was getting to go on the new ride "Toy Story Mania". This is now officially the most addictive ride at the Disneyland Resort (sorry, Buzz Lightyear Astroblasters).

Needless to say, I was too busy shooting targets to take pictures on the ride, but here's some posters and the ride's entrance:

That ride looks fun! I wonder if they have it in Paris ... if so it might be worth a trip.

Hmmm, I don't remember that ride when I was last there.

The ride just opened a couple of weeks ago.

Unfortunately, at this time, it's only in California and Florida.
