I spent a whopping thirteen hours in Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure yesterday, and enjoyed every minute of it. Here are the photographs to prove it. Some of the highlights include the Tower of Terror, Muppet*Vision 3D, the Electrical Parade, the Indiana Jones Adventure, test-driving a Segway HT at Innoventions, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Space Mountain and Splash Mountain were closed.
The best thing in the parks is called FastPass. Using this saved me and Becca more than an hour of waiting time. Instead of waiting on line for the popular rides, we picked up a ticket for each. The ticket told us what time to return when we could move close to the front of the line. Between receiving the FastPass and our return time, we did some activities that did not require a wait.
At the end of the night we saw the fireworks. It had to be one of the most beautiful displays of fireworks I’ve ever seen, and it was timed well with the music. It was also probably the most expensive fireworks show I’ve seen put on, and they do it every day. That’s amazing… but I guess it’s just part of the magic of Disney.
yeah, disney’s pretty cool. i’m going to the world version in 6 weeks! 🙂
and they have fast pass at great adventure now too… except they’re cheap bastards and make you pay an additional fee to get it…. jerks.
We loved the Fast Pass when we went to Disneyland, too… until I lost my main ticket and we couldn’t get any more of them. 🙁
