Disneyland
….lets just say that I am not an early morning person. Waking up at 5am, 6am, etc… is not my idea of a day that is going to go well, but to get to Disneyland Park at opening, I made an exception.
I have been so intrigued to see how Disneyland and Disney World compare. Disneyland was the original theme park, but the moment you set foot on Disney property the feeling the fun just fills the air.
It took about an hour and half to get there….the park is set up very similar. The location of mainstreet and the different areas are the same as Disney World, but there are some differences. They have the crazy roller coaster called the Matterhorn Bobsleds…Jeanie and I held on to dear life. We were both in the same cart, Jeanie in my lap….I thought the cart was going to derail at points.
Space Mountain you sat in doubles whereas in Orlando it’s singles. Splash Mountain is the opposite and you ride in singles, still getting soaking wet. Before we left everyone at work was telling me certain rides that I needed to experience like Indiana Jones. Of course when I go to the park the ride was not working…ugh…
We staid until the end of the night, midnight…just before leaving we stopped at Blue Ribbon Bakery on Main Street to get Hot Chocolate and Cookies… so so so good!!!
