Disney California Adventure : Part 8

After Mickey's Fun Wheel we went to play a boardwalk game called "Stallion Stampede".
 
This was fun! You play skee ball to make your horse go faster and whoever wins get a cute little stuffed horse.  The horses all look similar to Bullseye from "Toy Story" but vary slightly depending which lane you choose.
 
 
 
 

Mom won! Dad and hubby are so sad.


The prize!

Over by Soarin' Over California there is a little show called "Minnie's Fly Girls".  It is very 1950's feeling and fun! It's only about 10 minutes but I recommend it if you like that era.

Okay, this was my new FAVORITE thing to do at Disney California Adventure! It is the Beast's Library in the Art of Animation building.  Can I please live there?

It is a replica of the Beast's library from "Beauty and the Beast" and had so many neat features like the rose, the picture above the fireplace changing from looking new to having rips and tears and a firepace that looked real!
 


The windows on each side of the fireplace went from day to night! It really made you feel immersed in the theme.


The thing that you have to do in the library is take the character quiz.  They have fun chairs around the whole room that you can sit down in and see which Disney character you are most like.  I love that the quiz is animated.


I turned out to be most like Belle!


...and they lived Happily Ever After. =-)

All the books!

Right next door to the Beast's Library is Ursula's Grotto.  I laughed harder here than any other place in Disney.  It's hard to explain but basically you walk up to a very "under the sea" looking screen and choose whether you want to act or sing.  If you sing then Ursula steals your voice and you get to record your voice singing Disney songs.  If you act (this is by far the funniest) Ursula steals your voice and you get to do voice-overs on Disney scenes in movies.  We did all the scenes and it was beyond funny.  Highly recommend!


After we finished up at the Art of Animation building we ran into Molly! She was cruising around on her little bike and started chatting to us.  She was so funny! She stayed in character the whole time talking about how she lived with her Uncle Mac and how she deliverd mail.  She even said my jewels (my necklace) were lovely and asked if she could have them.  I told her she could borrow them and she let me wear her hat in exchange!


Here's Mom giving "directions" to Molly.
 
 
Mickey Mouse!
