Winding Down Disney in the Rain

Disney had extremely unusual (for Southern California) rainfall during our visit.  I went to Target loaded up on ponchos and umbrellas and we decided to head on to the parks for our last day as soon as the rain slowed.

It really wasn't very bad.  Once the stroller got caught in a down pour that really soaked it, but overall it was nothing more than an occasional shower.



This was the one and only nap Lydia took in any carrier. It was in the rain and I think it was because it was the same background sound as the noise maker going under her crib. I'm kind of sad about how independent she is becoming. I still wear and hold her sometimes, but more often than not she wants to be off exploring.  It is a good thing, but every step of the growing up is bittersweet for this momma.

In Orlando when it rains at DisneyWorld, you know you can always head to Innoventions at Epcot.  Same thing in Anaheim, only there is no Epcot, but there is Ironman and there are video games.




There was much ride riding in between the rain showers and Eli even conquered Space Mountain with daddy and declared it is favorite ride of all.

We gave baby girl a quick nap pre-dinner.  Had an average dinner at the Grand Californian hotel.  But they kids did get to "make their own pizza" which was fun, but I wish that would have meant they would have "eaten more than 2 bites of their own pizza."


And then we decided to try and see the fireworks.  The rain had stopped and all they will announce is they wait until the last moment to cancel the fireworks.  And they did, wait and cancel.  But momma got a picture so I'm calling it good.



It was nice to have a last day to let the boys do what they wanted to do again and to catch up on somethings we missed on the first couple of days. It is also nice that a "rain event" in California is a 1/2 inch of rain.
