On day 4 of our trip, we started with a buffet breakfast at the Disneyland Hotel's Enchanted Garden. It was a character breakfast where various Disney characters will walk around and take photos with us.
The buffet spread was amazing; lots of variety and cutely decorated Disney character food. Need I say more?

It was hard to pay attention to what we'd like to have for breakfast as we were also trying to catch our favourite Disney characters for a quick photo.

Breakfast was over at approximately 11 a.m. and we quickly returned to our room to prepare for day 2 in the park.

Soon, we were back at Tomorrow Land. Lincoln wanted to try all the Star Wars rides. When we arrived, Captain Phasma and her First Order Storm Troopers were around, but I the kids were too afraid of her, none of them wanted to get their photo taken with the Captain. But I managed to get this photo of Captain Phasma.

And after that brief encounter we went on to the indoor roller coaster ride. That would be my second ride for this Disneyland visit. This roller coaster is a lot faster with more turns and drops compared to Grizzly Gulch's. The ride is..... more "violent".

I was somewhat relieved when the ride finished. Lincoln wanted to go again but I couldn't oblige. I felt like I wanted to throw up. Before we left, I snapped a shot of these droid eggs.

Next stop is the Story book stage performance. This was a lively performance which is a mash up of many favourite Disney stories such as the Jungle Book, Frozen, Aladdin, The Princess and The Frog - that's about all I can remember.

We also dropped by the PhilharMagic for a 4D show that is exactly the same as I remembered when I first watched it 8 years ago.
After this performance we immediately rushed to the Main Street to watch the Spring Carnival.

As we finished quite late from the Story Book performance, we only managed to catch the last leg of the parade. That Toy Story float was my best catch.
After the carnival finished we explored the Fairy Tale Forest - unfortunately Tinker Bell was not around, took the train from Fantasy Land to Main Street USA.

After we browsed the shops at Main Street USA it was time to watch another parade!

After the parade ended, we headed back to Tomorrow Land's Jedi Temple. Lincoln wanted to try becoming a Jedi apprentice. So there he went learning to swing and block with his light saber.
After he finished his Jedi training, we went on to the Castle to see the princesses.

From Fantasy Land we moved on to Toy Story Land which was quite small...

| And there you have it, Toy Story Land - X-T2 + XF14mm F2.8R |
We just went there to have a look and see, after which we went on to the Mystic Point. There were not many people here, so we didn't have to wait long to get on the ride.

And soon, it was time to go back to Main Street to watch the night parade again!
Can't forget the fireworks too:
By the end of the day, I've almost ran out of memory on both cards in my X-T2. No better time to go back than now....
The queue for the shuttle bus going back to the hotel was this long:
