...... Disneyland! Advertised as the 'Happiest Place on Earth' but also a Mecca for people watching. I swear I saw a sumo wrestling mother there today amongst many other weird and truly wonderful. God knows we have our own set of weirdos in the UK but this place is people spotting at a premium (didn't I say that in last years blog?)
Anyway, onto the real reason to visit Disneyland - the rides. Sadly, our favourite ride ( Indiana Jones) has now shut for maintenance which threw us both as we always run over to that ride to start our day. The other disappointment was that the Splash Mountain ride closed while we were queuing up - I've only riden this twice because it always seems to break down!
The other rides we took in were The Haunted Mansion, The Matterhorn (3 times), Buzz Lightyear (see picture - twice), Star Tours, Snow White (what a waste of time!), Roger Rabbit, Pirates of the Caribbean and last but not least the Finding Nemo exhibit which is the old submarine ride (name escapes me) that's been re-furbed. When it re-opened last month there was a 3.5 hour waiting - we waited an hour as it's so popular (most other rides today were only about 20-40 mins) so was it worth it? Not sure. It's good, it's popular but it's only OK - perhaps I'm too old for this particular ride :0
I believe this is my seventh visit to Disneyland (eight if you count Orlando) and I think it's Alan's sixth (plus two vis
its for him to Orlando) and do we ever get bored of it? Do we hell - in fact we're off to the Californian Adventure on Friday (that's if we get over today - I'm
knackered!) to get some more ooooh's and wooooh's and you never know I may even be pursuaded to ride the roller coaster :)Off to the bar now for a couple of nightcaps - although I think I may fall asleep on with my drink in my hand - it's been a long day!
