I love Disney's photo pass program. Getting really good quality, professional pictures of all the best spots in the two parks in which all of us are in the picture is priceless to me. Here are the best pics from 2024.

I cannot get enough of Jocelyn's face here, looking at me as I'm overacting.
We spent our last day in Disneyland, starting first thing in the morning again. We rode all of our favorite rides again, then took a break in the afternoon. We had to be back in the park after dark to see Fantasmic! and the fireworks. It was one of the highlights of the whole trip.

Thursday was our break day. We slept in until the earth shook around 8:15 in the morning. We had an earthquake! It was minor and nothing really happened but a little shaking, but it was exciting. After going to the pool and into Downtown Disney for lunch at KingPins, we got ready to enter the park at 3:00 for the Oogie Boogie Bash. We didn't quite know what to expect but it turned out to be a night of fun. Lots of photo opportunities and treat trails. The lines for all of the merriment were too long for us so we rode some rides, went to our Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Party and watched the Villians parade, walked the Villians trail, which we could see from our hotel room and were excited to see from the ground, then headed back to the hotel late into the night.

For day two, we had a leisurely breakfast with Matt and Richie before they departed, then we went into California Adventure. World of Color was closed during our visit but we still made the most of our day.

During lunch at Lamplighter's Lounge, we had a perfect view of the Incredicoaster. Both girls watched it through the whole meal with big smiles on their faces so we got quite a few good pics.
After lunch we went to the Toy Story Midway. We got our glasses for Toy Story Mania and modeled them.
The wait to get in took a while but we were having fun with our glasses.
Kathryn wore her glasses but she preferred them off her face and on her head.
Jocelyn liked wearing hers and copying Kurt's facial expressions.
