Disneyland

The land of wonderment and joy....ahh Disneyland. Our first time!

It really is a remarkable place. We arrived a little tired and jaded really after getting up at 6.30, walking to Hollywood and Vine to catch the Metro subway train than changing downtown to and walking to a bus stop to catch a bus headed for Disneyland which took almost two hours to get there, going through what is apparently the biggest spaghetti junction in the US - that was impressive!Anyway, by the time that we dumped our bags in the luggage store at the hotel and walked through the gates of Disneyland it was about 10:30.

Everything looks perfect - like the set on that movie the Truman Show. There is no rubbish, no chipped paint, no carnies operating rides with greasy hair, a scowl and a ciggie hanging out their mouths. Everything is just perfect. Buildings are all themed and the lands were SO big and full of so much stuff that it was mind blowing!




Our first ride was Space Mountain - a rollercoaster in the dark as if you are in space. It was awesone - we went back again later in the day!


After that we were adrenalised, with smiles on our faces and eager to get back out there and discover what else the place had to offer! Other highlights were Star Tours (just like being in a space ship on a Star Wars movie!), the Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Carribean, the Pirate Lair Island, the Matterhorn and Splash Mountain! That one had to be the best! Eva rode it three times - once by herself. We stayed until the fireworks finished at 10pm after which we are both totally exhausted!
 We definitely pushed it and got the absolute most that we could out of the day!~

Thankyou Disneyland - the place is definitely a little bit of magic.
