A day in Disneyland

If Aimee had not been with us we almost certainly would not have gone to Disneyland. To make it easier and cheaper to get there we hired a car. I booked this on line at a place directly over the road from the hotel. In spite of the open sign there was no one there. We had to wait almost half an hour before anyone turned up and then they had all sorts of forms to fill in. My assessment the more forms to fill in the less competent the company.

The car was OK, a bit old, but not too bad. Once again Google maps helped us on the way along freeways at 60 to 70 miles per hour. It was about 40 minutes at quite high speed. It was much busier than expected with about 30 cars lined up to enter the car park when we arrived 20 minutes before opening time.

Hold on tight

It didn't take too long to get into the park and then to begin to explore. We did pretty well most of the day with around 10 minutes waiting for each ride. We didn't go on absolutely everything, but there were not many we missed.

The second ride, Raiders of the Lost Ark broke down just before we got to the front of the que. It broke down again when we were in line at the end of the day, but fortunately started again. It was a great ride.

Lynda enjoyed the tea cups and "Its a small world", David the more action packed, Aimee just enjoyed it. The parade in the late afternoon was good and the food very expensive. The park closed at 8pm, earlier during the week. I don't know if we could have survived till a late close.

Almost Halloween

A hic cup on the way home. My phone ran out of battery. We left the freeway so I could recharge it from a battery pack. It meant we could get for dinner. Good food for a fraction of the cost at Disneyland. The phone ran out of puff again but we had got far enough so I knew how to get back to the hotel. A great day, but we were tired.
