Disneyland.

Last week, Katie, her parents, and I went to Disneyland. It was my first time. I have to say, at 23, I'm a little late but it was sick! I love Disneyland! I know a lot of Disney haters but none of them seem to hate Disneyland. They know how to make a stupid little ride into an experience that you'll remember vividly for the rest of your life. Before we went on any rides though, we went to Club 33 for breakfast. They had the white marble table from Mary Poppins and the piano from Walt Disney's theater. We got to ride an old elevator and see photo's of Walt Disney. We ate omelette's, potatoes, top sirloin, and fresh fruit. There was more food, but since that was all that was on my plate, that is all I can remember. Don't get me wrong, I had multiple plates of those four things. After some fine dining at Club 33, we spent the rest of the day in the park. Below are some of MY favorite Disneyland attractions:

1. My favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean. I wanted to say Splash Mountain was my favorite because of the drop at the end, but nothing can beat the pirates. Jack Sparrow is BOSS.

2. Which makes Splash Mountain my number two. This is my second favorite because of the five-story plunge at the end. Adrenaline rush.

3. The Soaring Over California ride in California Adventure was amazing. It felt like we were hang gliding over Cali. We could even smell the scent of oranges as we went over the orange fields! Since I couldn't decide which ride I liked better, I have another number three.

3. Space Mountain was surreal. "Out of this world" special effects. I seriously felt like I was flying through space. You should have seen the smile on my face, I was so happy! The best part about it is that we got to go through a second time without waiting in line. I guess some little girl took too long to get out at the end.

4. I have to say the scariest of the day and my number four goes to The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. This ride is crazy! You will know what I'm talking about when you get in the elevator and have to put on a seatbelt. Falling 13 stories definitely made my stomach tighten.

5. The ride, Indiana Jones Adventure, was pretty exciting too. It really feels like you're riding in a jeep with Indiana Jones through the use of Disney's innovative Enhanced Motion Vehicles.


We didn't go on the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage because we didn't want to wait in the extremely long line and there was no fast pass for it, but by the looks of the line and the fact that its underwater, I'm sure the ride is awesome. I was also disappointed in California Screamin, but only because they were having some technical difficulties. The Matterhorn was also under construction and I was looking forward to seeing the abominable snowman I had heard about. The Haunted Mansion was fun even though it wasn't very scary. I'm sure it was scary enough for the little ones. Love the scary images in the stretching elevator and the New Orleans plantation vibe. It was a relaxing ride for me. I also had fun on the Jungle Cruise, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters was like being inside of a video game. Katie murdered my score the first time, but I made sure there was a rematch and I got her back the second time. The two rides I didn't like were Star Tours and "It's a small world." The Star Tours ride was alright and the people around me loved it, but it made me a little motion sick. "It's a small world" is great for children, but that song might just drive you "insane in the membrane," as the Beastie Boy's once put it. Last, but definitley not least, I saw Princess Tiana perform.
