We drove to Anaheim after church on Sunday the 15th of March. The traffic between Las Vegas and Barstow, California was absolutely brutal; stop and go the whole way. So our six hour drive turned into eight. But early Monday morning we got up and hit the park right at opening. First thing in the morning the park is pretty empty and we RAN from ride to ride, doing all of our favorites before the park got busy and the lines got long. So we hit “Pirates of the Caribbean” “Haunted Mansion” and “Indiana Jones” a couple of times first off, and then over to “Buzz Lightyear” (my personal favorite.) We also collected Fast Passes all morning so that by the afternoon we had a collection of passes that got us on to all of our rides without a wait. We had the three-day park hopper passes, but we spent the whole of Monday in the Disneyland park. At the end of the day we hit some of the big motion rides, like “Space Mountain” and “Star Tours”, and I ended up pretty green around the gills.
On Tuesday we got up early again and did our one early entrance day to Disneyland and executed our speed round of our favorite rides before heading over to the California adventure land when they opened a couple of hours later. There they had a new ride, “Toy Story 3-D”, which is my new favorite in California land. Mom and the girls did the roller coaster, but my stomach was still out of sorts from the day before, so I sat and held their purses for them. We lazed around the California land, hitting the “Tower of Terror”, “Monsters Inc.”, and “Bugs’ Life” until it closed that evening and then we went back to Disneyland for seconds on our favorite rides. Wednesday we did a combination of the two parks, hopping back and forth and hitting our favorites all around. All three nights we stayed until after the evening fireworks, almost until closing. I’m attaching a photo of us in front of Tomorrowland just before the fireworks. And then on Thursday morning, but not too early so as to avoid the rush hour, we headed back home to St. George where we found everything just as we’d left it. So, this was another successful family trip.
