DISNEYLAND

DAY 1
We left on a stormy cold wet and windy Monday morning...


...and arrived in sunny and warm California!



Awesome but loooong day.

DAY 2

The next day we got up and decided to spend the day in California Adventure Park.


We left California park and went back to Disneyland for some fun at night, to see all the x-mas lights and to watch the fireworks which were awesome!


DAY 3

On the third day we got to the park as it opened and everyone gathered on Main Street waiting for the rides to start. Because of the huge line ups on previous days we couldn't get onto Small World but this morning we b-lined it straight there and were the first people to ride that day!

We spent some time riding the rides around Fantasyland.


Finally got onto the submarine!


We took my mom and brother onto Astro Blasters after this and then headed over to Pooh's neck of the woods for An'ostin to see Winnie and friends.


Then we took the ferry over to Pirate Island which was AWESOME!!! There's a tree-fort and a ship-wreck and caves and grottos and piles of treasure and rickety bridges and tons of stuff to climb on and things to do!


They made a monkey-bar cage out of human skulls and bones! Sooo cool!


And when you pump this thing, it drains water out of a small pool which then reveals treasure and...

...this bloke!

My brother and I atop a whole mound of treasure!


There was a wheel that you spun which raised up a treasure chest and this bloke!

After that we headed back to the mainland and did the Haunted Mansion which was changed to A Nightmare Before Christmas theme for x-mas. We also went to the Enchanted Tiki Room.

My dad and I then went onto Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye ride which rocked!


We finished the day with Autopia which was so fun! My dad and I in one car and my mom and Rocket in another. We raced each other and had a blast!

DAY 4

This day was mostly spent at California park again and finally convinced my mom to go on California Soarin' with us!


In the spring of 2010, there's going to be a few new attractions and this is going to be The World of Colour, which will be an amazing evening light show with fountains and special effects.



DAY 5



All week the Jungle Cruise ride, Storybook boats and Casey Junior train were not running but on Friday, they were!!!












My dad took An'ostin again on it and I took my mom to the Indiana Jones ride and she loved it!
Then we made our way over to Thunder Mountain Railroad for the umpteenth time (another favourite!)

I met Santa and asked for a DSI. He said he'd make me one out of wood.





Yesterday, my dad was convinced he had seen "Juliet" from the show Lost in the Quicksilver store in Downtown Disney. The next day, there she was again! We kept bumping into her.

Finally got to take my brother onto the Storybook boat and got eaten by the whale.





Then back to Toon Town for more fun.


Finally onto Casey Junior which scared the living crap out of me.


We decided to make our way to Downtown Disney to do some shopping and get some dinner which was soooo delicious!


Then my mom did some last minute shopping and took A-man back to the hotel. My dad and I ran around the park getting in some last minute rides like Space Mountain, Astro-Blasters, Indiana Jones, Jungle Cruise, Pirates and finally wrapped up our trip with another trip through Autopia.







AWESOME TIME! THANKS DISNEY! The next morning we packed and returned home to rain and cold weather. BOOOOO!
