Disneyland

Last weekend Stephanie and I went to Disneyland which was our second big weekend after the camping trip. We both took Friday off because we got 2fer tickets, or you get to visit both Disneyland and California Adventure for the price of one ticket. We headed out around 8am, got breakfast and zipped up to Anaheim in about 1.5 hours. We parked and headed on in. Stephanie was excited as it was her idea to go. When she was younger Stephanie had visited Disneyland quite a few times and it had been awhile since she had gone. I wasn't as excited because Maya and I went in January of last year because she knew someone who worked there and could get us in for free. However, we were going to "California Adventure" which is Disney's new theme parked based off California. So we headed through the gates full of glee that we were at the happiest place in the world. That morning we hit Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Carribean, and The Haunted Mansion. Lines on average were 30-40 minutes and I got a picture of the Japanese girls at The Haunted Mansion. We then had gourmet peanutbutter and jelly sandwhiches I had made earlier in the day in the thought that food at Disneyland sucked, and was too expensive. I had also brought a bunch of water which wasn't enough. After lunch we hit Big Thunder Mountain, The Tea Cups, Alice in Wonderland,and The Matterhorn. We then got some ice cream, did the Matterhorn again, then It's a Small World and finally hopped on the monorail to Downdown Disney and walked back to the entrance. We then headed to our hotel at the Marriote Suites. Watched some Simpsons (a strange part was the Simpsons episode Homer and Marge go to a fancy retail mall that looked exactly like Downtown Disney while Lisa babysat Bart). We were on the same block as some restaurants so we ate at Joe's Crabshack. The next day we headed to "California Adventure" after grabbing some breakfast. Neither of us had been to the park so everything was new. We hit Soarin' Over California first which I was nervous because it was video with motion similar to the Star Wars ride at Disneyland which made me motion sick. I handled it fine. We then hit Grizzly River Run (got wet), Mulholland Madness, Maliboomer (my first free fall ride), the ferriswheel. Once again P&J sandwhiches then the rollercoaster California Screamin' which shut down after waiting half an hour (with 10 min to go). So we went to The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror which had only been open for a year or two. We managed to return to the California Screamin' just when it reopened and almost got are exact same position. After that we headed to the bar, got some drink then headed home. We had a great time but I think we got our fill of Disney and crowds as we saw some strange people including one guy who had a poor tatoo that read "All bitches ain't shit." At Disneyland you enjoy the rides and weep for humanity.
