This last week, May 13 through 17, I was in Disneyland, California! We flew into John Wayne airport and settled into our hotel room in time to see a WONDERFUL fireworks show out our window above Disneyland!
Early the next morning we used our early admittance tickets and entered the park an hour early! That was a fun filled day as we hit every ride we wanted including The Indiana Jones ride three times, The Pirates of the Caribbean ride two times, and many others! We were fortunate that they opened Splash Mountain the day we arrived when we had read that it would be closed, a happy surprise!
Another Happy surprise was seeing crewmen setting up the set where Pirates of the Caribbean will Premiere, on May 19.
The next day we went to Disney's California Adventure where we enjoyed Elevators that dropped ten floors (we rode that twice), and many very very fast roller-coasters! We ended this day with a water rafting ride that COMPLETELY drenched my Mom... hilarious. : ) All in good fun.
On the third day the went to San Juan Capistrano, an old Mission. It was really cool with lots of old walls and things. After we finished exploring the mission we made a quick detour to the beach before we bee-lined to MEDIEVAL TIMES!
What a wonderful place that was.
We supported the green barbarian knight who came in a close second place. There was a horse show and at one time a falcon flew around the arena. I even received a rose from our knight! I repeat a wonderful place.
After a mere four hours sleep we flew home with happy memories filled with magic, adventure, and swordplay!
What an exciting post, Cassie! We really DID have a blast, and I really DID get soaked! On two of the rides. And you, your sister, and your dad laughed waaaay too much when it happened.

this looks like too much fun, more than I had 24 years ago when I went and was too small to go on all the good rides...I'm a indiana jones and pirates junkie and now after looking at your wonderful photos I think a future trip to disneyland is in order!
ReplyDeleteThanks Summer! I am a Indiana Jones and Pirates Junkie too! : )

Sorry I hadn't checked your blog sooner, Cassie. These are wonderful photos and descriptions.
ReplyDeleteIt's been way too long since my family visited Disneyland, but my brother and his kids were there when the first Pirates movie premiered. They loved it.
I understand why you wouldn't check..... I don't post often. : )
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had a good time when you went there!
