After the morning at Disneyland, we returned to the hotel and took a tour that detailed the architecture of the Grand Californian hotel and its Arts and Crafts design. Then we headed back to California Adventure and caught an animation presentation and the Aladdin musical. Aladdin was a great production - and housed in a marvelous and huge theater. After that, we rode the Zephyr and California Screamin' one last time. Then the park closed @ 6 - too early.

We headed back to Disneyland to catch the 50th anniversary parade, then the fireworks show. We did some shopping as the park closed down and then enjoyed some time in front of the fireplace at the hotel -- it actually turned cool in the evening. All in all, a great day, even with the "last day" doom hanging over it.
