LA Day 3 – DisneyLand

Well today is a big one, Disney Land, its about 50 minutes from where we are staying so we got a tour which include transport to and from and ticket prices. We had breakfast, i had some egg, bacon and toast from our hotel, their food was so crappy but mine was bearable. Marina got this gross biscuit and gravy, someone had told her she has to try it and it was the grossest thing ever, its a savory biscuit with this gross white gravy, Marina couldn’t finish it and i don’t blame her.

When you arrive at DL you are dropped off in a car park and a disney tram takes you to the main entrance, the first thing you see is a huge gift shop designed to catch people on their way out. We had a look at some of the merchandise, the prices were huge. We weren’t really sure about disney land, but we had to go, we can’t go to LA and not the place we wanted to go as kids. The first thing we did was get food as soon as possible.

There were some really fun rides, even the pooh bear ride was fun. The haunted mansion was cool it had an elevator in it where the roof expands at the same time and it feels weird, then there were ghost holograms dancing around everywhere, it was a cool effect. The star wars ride was great, when your flying around you get thrown around and really feel like the g’s are pushing you back in your seat. There was a “4D” movie called honey i shrunk the audience with the characters from honey i shrunk the kids. It was just a 3d movie but there are air vents near your feet so they can use air for effects, in one scene rats escape into the audience and you can feel them running around your legs, was funny, all the kids screamed because they thought it was real, haha. All in all it was a long day and we slept well that night.

Well here are some pics, they have titles when you click on them you will see.

Although we had fun Disney Land is a parents worst nightmare, everything is so expensive a burger fries and drink was like $10 US, bottles of water are $2.70 US. Thats not the worst part though. They should really call it line-up land. most rides took at least 30 minutes, the long rides are more like 50 minutes. Everything was really kiddy but we still had fun, we were pretty dissapointed by the end though. After waiting 45 minutes for the Indiana Jones ride it broke down, we had to get to the bus pickup point by 10.30 but we figured hey it wont take longer than 1.5 hours. We waited in line for about 60 minutes, then we found out that after the lineup you can see there is a second line up inside, and it just wasnt gonne happen, If only we payed the extra money for the fast pass we would have made it for sure. We were so pissed we had to leave, we also missed the live night show which is meant to be awesome, because we were lining up, there were so many people there trying to leave and watching the show at the same time. We nearly didnt get there on time because everytime fireworks went off people infront of us stopped moving, and parents think that having a stroller gives them right of way, they wont let you infront but they keep stopping all the time. Anyhow by the end of it i was so dissapointed and angry ERRRGGGHH DAMN YOU WALT! I’ll punch him in his frozen face disney!
