Disneyland

So last weekend was a trip to Disneyland - The Happiest Place on Earth apparently. I went down with Ms H. (pronounced haych) and her friends from college. The drive to LA takes about five hours, however I wasn't driving so I was able to sleep for the most part. However what must be said about the main big motorways here is that they are very very straight and usually the only thing you have to watch for is for other traffic. So really Im glad I wasn't driving, it would have been pretty boring otherwise..

We were staying at O's place, as he lives down in LA. Which was great as it meant that we didn't have to fork out for accommodation :D We got there pretty late, after stopping off for dinner at the world's slowest Carl's Junior (a Burger King like place). We might as well just had sat down at a restaurant, because the food wasn't very fast at all..

Since I have the skills we got nicely discounted park hopper tickets. Park hopper you may ask? Well they built another theme park next to Disneyland - California Adventure. It's more of a thrill park with more intense rides - however they are still very tame, like the roller-coaster. It did a loop, went highish, spun round, etc., but maybe it just takes a lot more to scare/excite me these days..

We stayed at least twelve hours at the Disney site. Sure this meant that when we got hungry we gave into the exorbitant food prices and minuscule portions.. anyway the day was quite fun, getting wet, getting fooled by the optical illusions on the Indiana Jones ride, having a laugh on the rides, etc.. The only thing that bothered me was not having comfortable enough shoes. Getting one pretty soaked didn't help, but it didn't spoil my day :) I think I also had my Disneyland fill for the next couple years so hopefully by that time the finding nemo ride wont have a two+ hour wait so I can actually go on it..
