Disneyland



You know how when anybody talks about Disneyland and they go "oh, it's not that big" well, they're full of crap. It's freakin huge. And full of people. Oh my goodness. We had to get up at 5.30am and get on the freeway and we ended up on one massive freeways 8 lanes wide, in one direction but I drove like a pro and we got there at 7.30 and got tickets just in time to get in. We went on some rides and they were so good, really long and the quality is just so good. Space Mountain is an indoor roller coaster with lights. I also enjoyed the psychedelic flavours of the Winnie the Pooh ride which was bright and colourful and was pooh bears "honey" induced dream-state.. Very interesting, I'll leave some other things up to Alice so I don't take everything..

Well Andrew is right he does drive like a pro, but only with me directing him I might add. Disneyland was completely different to how I remember it. You have to have a strategy or else be prepared to stand in queues ALL day. The longest we waited was an hour and a half for space mountain, it was worth it. They had the chilli peppers playing with bright flashing lights and holograms while you ride the rollercoaster. We blitzed Indiania Jones, Pirates and the Haunted mansion early, wow!!! Amazing holograms and spooky flying things galore. I just wish I could get Andrew to smile in a photo........


Oh no, they shrunk me


And then made me HUGE


And at the end of the day we cruised away on the happiest cruise in the world.

So glad to see you have arrived and are having fun. YEs- Disney and LA are 'really that big', pretty amazing, but everything int he US seems to be 'super sized' (by the way, if you go to McD's, don't supersize unless it is going to be your only meal for the day! Please search out Biscuits & gravy at a breakfast restaurant, Alice promised she'd try them. You like LA, can't wait til you're in LV!

Yes, Hollyweird is full of "interesting" people, especially at night. You will find similar types in all the major cities, including San Francisco (I wonder if "The Human Jukebox" is still there!).
Las Vegas is huge too, you'll love all the lights and things to see, like the fountains at the Bellagio and the pirate ships at Treasure Island. Maybe you two can take a gondola ride inside the Venetian...
Be sure to call us if you need anything while you're here and continue to have a great time!
Love, Dot
