Ski Week in February 2020 turned out to be a really wonderful break from the normal routines of our daily lives. We decided to make a trip to Disneyland
to see all the new attractions the new Star Wars Galaxy's Edge had to offer. We were able to ride both Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance twice! While those rides required long waits we were able to ride many
of our favorite rides in other areas of the park. We rode Autopia, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Matterhorn, Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, Big Thunder Mountain, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Still, the big attraction
was visiting Galaxy's Edge and trying to get on the brand new Rise of the Resistance ride. With a little bit of planning and some luck we were able to join the virtual queue on both Tuesday and Thursday so we could
experience one of the grandest most immersive rides ever.

YES! I'm tall enough for the rides now!
I think I take this picture every time we come here.

The next morning we got up bright and early so we could enter California Adventure at 7:00am using our Early Magic Morning Pass. Good thing because we were able to ride the most popular rides before
the masses arrived at 8:00am. California Adventure is always great fun. We really love Toy Story, Incredicoaster, Radiator Springs Racers, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

After finding a way to enter the park early again, Tyler was able to get us in the virtual queue for Rise of Resistance in Boarding Group 63. This gave us
the opportunity to ride some of our favorite rides like Matterhorn, Space Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain. We also went back to Smugglers Run.
