Disneyland Star Wars Light Side Jan 2017: Day 6

Tuesday January 17th:
6:20am alarm. Packed up and showered. We went down to eat breakfast, it was very quiet! We went back to our room to pack our final things. We checked out of our room and left our luggage with the front desk. Parks opened at 10am and we were in California Adventure by 9:50am. We went straight to Radiator Springs Racers with a 15 minute wait. This was the only time we got to ride together on Racers for this trip! That was our only agenda at California Adventure for today. So we popped over to Disneyland. I realized we hadn’t met Pooh and friends yet! So we went to their meet and greet and met Tigger, Eeyore and Pooh!!!! Such a fun interaction and no line yet! Pooh wanted to come home with me to meet our dog named Winnie! We then went to Thunder with a 5 minute wait. The app said that Space was a short wait time. So we walked over there and could see the line and noticed the sign jumped up to 65 minutes. I guess everyone else saw it had been posted short and the line grew fast! We decided not to get in line because we were getting short on time. So we walked through shops and said goodbye to our baby castle. We grabbed tea in Starbucks in Downtown Disney (FYI, you can redeem your free drinks at the Downtown Disneyland location, but not in the parks). We then ate at Earl of Sandwich for lunch around noon. We walked to our hotel, got our luggage and waited for our Super Shuttle pickup. We were there about 30 minutes before our scheduled pickup time and he ended up being 10 minutes early, so we only waited about 20 minutes. We arrived at the airport about 2 hours early for our 3:40pm flight. We walked around the airport for a bit and then charged our phones. Our flight was on time and smooth (no poopy pants passengers!!!) and had a layover in Phoenix. Our layover was around 2 hours long. So we grabbed dinner at Modern Burger. Our flight showed it was going to be delayed by 10 minutes, but we left right on time at 8:05pm. We landed just after 9pm and waited about 20 minutes for our luggage. We forgot about the freeway closure due to construction, so we were stuck at a standstill for a while. So our hour drive home was really over an hour and twenty minutes. We got home to the pup just before 11pm and unpacked our bags. Lights out at midnight.

Overview:
This was a fun trip. Since we had just been at Disneyland two months before, we just took our time and enjoyed being there. The crowds were insanely heavy on Friday-Sunday. We’ve done this race weekend before and it was never this busy. It was just wall to wall people. But surprisingly, on Monday (Martin Luther King Jr Day and a holiday for most schools) the crowds really dropped a lot! And on Tuesday, it was so empty! It was surprisingly chilly for our entire trip too! Highs in the 60’s! So we had long sleeves on every day.
