california | day two


May 15, 2004  

Let me start by saying that even though we spent 12 hours at Disneyland yesterday, I easily could’ve found more rides to ride and more shows to see if we stayed longer. What a day! We arrived at the park shortly after 9 yesterday morning. Our first ride was the new The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at California Adventure. It’s set in an old, 13-story hotel. You’re seated in a metal cage and dropped every few stories — in total darkness. It’s terrifying and awesome at the same time!

We rode a number of roller coasters, including the Matterhorn and Splash Mountain. Fun! One of my favorites: Indiana Jones Adventure. Our day wasn’t without kid rides, too: ones from Winnie the Pooh, Roger Rabbit and A Bug’s Life. We also walked through Mickey Mouse’s house, which was pretty cute :-)

We also saw a few shows: broadway-inspired musicals from Snow White and Aladdin; and 3-D shows by the Muppets and characters from A Bug’s Life.

I did so much screaming on roller coasters that I hardly have a voice this morning. It’s a good thing we’re spending the day shopping, where I don’t have to talk to much. My legs are sore and a little sunburned, but not badly.

As promised, here are photos from yesterday’s day at Disneyland. Enjoy :-)
