Today started once again with Jose and the Hummer! We were on our way to Disneyland! I remember watching the Magical World of Disney as a kid and always wanting to visit the magical land. Now, even in my 40th year, the magic and excitement that is usually reserved for the young is still very much alive!
As you walk through the gates of this other world, you can hear and feel the life of the place. Everyone smiles, everyone says Hello as you walk past, it is truly a version of the Twilight Zone, but in a very nice way.
We had planned to spend only 4 or 5 hours at Disneyland and at the California Adventure land next door, however after spending 20 minutes inside the gate, we called Jose to pick us up at 10pm instead of 5:30. Yes, we spent over 10 hours there and still only scratched the surface.
The highlight of the day was when Ash rode the "California Screamin" ride. She so desperately wanted to go on but there was fear there. She sucked it up, grabbed her single rider pass and on she went. Gav and I went to the viewing deck where the carriages took off, and there she was in the very front seat! My heart was probably pounding more than hers. Three minutes later she was back on the ground, yelling about how it was the most awesome ride ever, and very proud of herself that she went through with it.
The second highlight of the day were the fireworks at the end of the day. They truly were the most amazing fireworks I have ever seen! Each set had a theme from a different movie or genre and the fireworks were in perfect sync with the music. It truly was the perfect end to an amazing day.
