They walked past the Hyperion Theater, where a live show of Frozen was being performed on a routine basis. They continued walking until they got to a large, mostly empty pavilion. "What's this?" Felix asked.
"I think this is where they have the Mad T Party," Kristoff explained, "It's some kind of nightly event held here, based on Alice in Wonderland."
"Alice in Wonderland?" Ralph asked, "What's that?"
"I dunno," Kristoff responded, "But I've seen a lot of stuff with it around here. There's a cat and a guy with a big hat and orange hair."
"So which one is Alice?"
"I dunno."
Felix looked over and saw a structure composed of many large, colorful doors. Some doors had adorable monsters sticking out, such as a small, green Cyclops and a big, furry, blue monster. "Let's try out that one," Felix suggested.
"'Monsters Inc.: Mike and Sulley to the Rescue'?" Kristoff questioned.
"It looks cute," Anna said, "Especially with the little girl in the monster suit."
"I admit," Calhoun said, "it does have a nice aesthetic to it…"
"Alright," Kristoff said, "Let's check it out."
The inside portion of the queue took place inside a bus station for the fictional city of Monstropolis. There were advertisements and warnings all over the walls, televisions with commercials for different services available in the city, and vending machines with the garbage that monsters love to eat. As the six approached the taxis, the Cast Members took a good look at Ralph and told him he was too big to ride. He sadly went to the exit of the ride while his friends got into the taxi. Calhoun and Felix sat in the front, Anna and Kristoff sat in the middle, and Elsa sat all by herself in the back.
As the taxis moved, little TVs on the side of the taxis welcomed the guests to Monstropolis, only for the pleasant video to be interrupted by an emergency news broadcast about how a human child had been seen within the city. One monster claimed that the kid "picked [him] up with its mind powers and shook [him] like a doll." Another monster with a dozen eyes claimed he saw the whole thing and attested to the first monster's testimony.
The taxis went by a monster couple in a car, celebrating the female monster's birthday. The same monster who claimed the human used telekinetic powers on him was making other ludicrous claims, such as that the human wrapped him up with its long tongue and used him as a yo-yo. The big blue, furry monster had the human child hiding in his arms. He saw how much of a panic there was and knew her had to get her home. The taxis then went into a sushi restaurant. An octopus-like monster was calling to inform the authorities that there was a human child in the restaurant. The female monster from earlier, named Celia, was complaining to her boyfriend, named Mike, that he somehow ruined her birthday. Mike and the blue monster snuck into the back of another building. As the taxi was driving to catch up with them, their taxi was assaulted by the Child Detection Agency, who wanted to know if they had seen the child.
Inside the Monsters Inc. building, two teenage monsters were punching in for the night shift, complaining that nothing ever happens. The taxi then went into the locker room, where Mike wanted the blue monster, named Sulley, to hurry up so they could get the little girl back home. A chameleon-like monster chuckled that he'd race them to the Scare Floor. On the Scare Floor, he pressed a few buttons, sending a door up. He laughed that they'd never find the girl's door now. The taxi went into a room filled with moving closet doors, where Mike and Sulley immediately found the girl's door. The chameleon monster tried to jump over to the door, saying they'd never get the girl home now. Turning a corner, the taxi went by a large metal door. Behind it was the Abominable Snowman, who welcomed them to the Himalayas, before the winds blew the door shut.
"He sounded awfully similar to that truck on the cars ride," Calhoun commented.
Past the metal door was the chameleon monster, who was getting beaten up by the little girl and repeatedly changing colors as she hit him. Mike and Sulley finally got the girl to her door. Mike said it had been the most terrifying day of his life, but that he loved the kid enough to get her home. Sulley wished her a good night, telling her he had to go. The taxi went outside of Monsters Inc., where CDA units had the humans decontaminated. At the end of the ride, there was a slug-like monster with a clipboard.
"Young man in the first row," she said, "I like you." Felix was startled by this. "Next time, bring me a churro." Their taxi got to the station and they got off.
Outside the ride, the five were looking for Ralph. "How could we lose someone nine feet tall?" Calhoun asked.
Elsa saw Ralph approaching from the right. "There he is!" she exclaimed. She began waving so Ralph would see them.
"Hey, guys," Ralph said when he met back up with them, "Sorry I missed you guys. I was getting hungry, so I went to a hot dog place." Ralph had a hot dog with BBQ sauce, cheese, and fried onions. "Also, I got this for you, Felix." He gave Felix a chili dog.
"Well, thank you, Ralph," Felix said. Felix took a bite of his chili dog.
Kristoff took out his map of California Adventure. "Let's see…" he said, "Over yesterday and today, we went on California Screamin', Toy Story Mania, Mickey's Fun Wheel, Little Mermaid, Soarin', Animation Academy, Tower of Terror, Monsters Inc., the bumper car ride, and Radiator Springs Racers. Anything else you guys want to do here?"
Anna chimed in, "There's this 'Turtle Talk with Crush' thing over by the drawing place. I'd like to check that out."
"Oh, speaking of checking things out," Ralph said, "Look at this!" He led them over to a souvenir stand. It was entirely full of Frozen merchandise. There were T-shirts of Anna, Elsa, and/or Olaf, books about the characters, dresses for little girls, plushes and dolls of the characters, and a penny press.
"Oh, wow…" Anna commented. She looked at Calhoun. "Looks like Frozen wins the merchandise competition."
Calhoun sighed sadly. "Yeah…you guys win, no doubt." They walked over to the Disney Animation building.
After waiting for 15 minutes or so, a Cast Member announced that the show was going to begin in a few minutes and invited people to line up for it. They got in line.
In the seating for Turtle Talk, the adults all sat in the back and the little children sat in the front. At the front of the theater was a screen that showed the ocean floor. A Cast Member welcomed everyone to the show, and told people safety instructions in case of emergency. A school of fish swam onscreen, and provide visual assistance for the Cast Member. She said that there was to be no eating, drinking, smoking, or flash photography. She then told everyone to yell "Hey, Crush!" which everyone did.
Crush the turtle swam onscreen. He spoke like a surfer dude, and said hello to all the dudes and chicks. He admired all the humans in the human tank. He taught the humans how to speak turtle by combining the words "totally" and "sweet" into the phrase "totally sweet!" He then allowed kids to ask him questions. One little boy asked Crush if he had ever met any mermaids. Crush responded that "Mermaids are, like, totally mythological, dude!" Though Crush said he had a crab friend named Sebastian who claimed he had met a mermaid before, but Crush had never met Sebastian's mermaid friend. After a few questions, Crush was visited by his friend, Dory the blue tang, or "Lil' Blue" as Crush called her. She played Hide-and-Seek and the kids had to help Crush find her. After finding Dory, she decided to teach everyone how to "speak whale." Speaking whale worked a little too well, as a whale swam up to the screen and squished Dory against the "glass." Thankfully, the whale swam away when everyone said "Good-bye, whale!" to it. Crush thanked everyone for visiting and hoped to see them again soon.
As they left the theater, Anna commented, "I like Crush. He was a pretty cool dude." They went into the gift shop. There were lots of expensive art pieces for sale. There were paintings, drawings, and figures of Disney characters for sale.
Elsa inspected a sculpture of herself. "Impressive craftsmanship," she said, "The eyes are a bit off, but otherwise, pretty good."
Anna found a pin of Crush. "Aww, this is cute!" she said, "I think I'm gonna get it." She took it up to the cashier and purchased it. She took it off the paper and pinned it to her shirt.
When they got out of the shop, Kristoff looked at the map. "Is there anything else you guys want to do here?" Everyone agreed that they had done everything that they needed to at California Adventure. "In that case," he said, putting the map away, "Let's head back across the way to Disneyland proper."
