DL Day 3 - the one where we are all exhausted but refuse to stop.
We fought the urge to sleep in and stumbled into a low wait time DL around 8:30. We headed straight for Alice with a 5 minute wait. We got side tracked by wandering characters
But it was still a walk on when we arrived. The boys decided to be brave (& I decided that I could use an adjustment), so we jumped in line for Matterhorn. The 15 minute posted wait turned out to be closer to 20 & we all had a good laugh at our jump scare from the yeti.
My son had wanted to ride Nemo so we headed there next.
I mobile ordered French Toast sticks, a breakfast slider, coffees & tea from Galactic grill while we were in line for Nemo. We settled in for those next and had breakfast with a famous Disney duck!
We rode Pinocchio and Snow White, did the castle walk through and then headed to Adventureland for our 11am Indy LL.
We spotted so many characters this morning!
But before we can ride Indy…
This was all that was left of the 6 Beneigts by the time the bag made it to me.
We stopped to listen to our favorite Captain along the way
Finally, we made it to Indiana Jones
This ride is SO WORTH it. We loved it & hope that they work it in at Animal Kingdom somehow!
Then we took a jungle cruise with Skipper Aimee
I had booked a Big Thunder LL at some point 
so we headed there and mobile ordered pizza planet while we were in line. We didn’t want a lot of food and figured that splitting a couple of pieces of pizza and an alien macron would be just enough. Is it the best pizza? Nope. Did it do the job? You betcha!
Since we were there, we rode Buzz again because we are competitive and love bragging rights.
We hadn’t ridden Peter Pan yet & everyone wanted to since it had a 25 wait. So off we went.
It was hot and time for dole whip & the beautiful sounds (and AC) of the Tiki room.
DD & I had a LL for Space & DS/DH had one for Autopia so we split up for those around 3pm. After browsing through the gift shop, we all headed over to ride Rise again with a 60 minute standby time. We ran into the Mandolorian in Batuu
We moved quickly through the outside Rise queue but once we got into the inside, we crawled for a bit. I went ahead and booked a MFSR LL with an immediate return time because I saw the writing on the wall. Sure enough, the ride went down so we bailed to use our LL.
When we exited MFSR, I checked to see what was available next & Rise had just come back up with a 20 minute wait. We race walked & walked right in to join the resistance
We were all feeling the effects of 9 days of walking (we had been to SF, Yosemite, Monterey and Morro Bay before DL), so we headed to Downtown Disney for dinner & to call it a night. While we were eating our Black Tap burgers, the kids asked if I could get a Webslingers LL for our last vacation hoo-rah (we are a competitive bunch). So, with LL in app, we went into DCA and ran into this guy
We had a great time on Webslingers and headed back to the HOJO to pack for an early flight back to the east the next morning.
We loved Disneyland and the ease of it all. Space Mountain here is far superior to WDW in my opinion, the quick service food is far & away better than WDW, but we missed being in the bubble.
We left CA at 7:30am PST and arrived home in WV at 10:50 pm. DD had just enough time to change, pack her soccer bag & head off for Midnight Madness. Her last 1st practice of the season & the official start of her Senior year. It was a great trip to finish the summer with!
