California Land

With day 1 at Disneyland down, we still had a day to tackle California Land, located next door to Disneyland. California land was fantastic, I would even go as far as to say, I think I liked it just a little bit more than Disneyland or though it does pain me to say that :)

here are a few pics of our day:

First port of call was the High School Musical parade

Once again, Chey was picked out of the crowd to get up and dance with the High School Musical parade, not only once....but twice! See photo above, Chey in the yellow t-shirt. (above)

Water Rapids...we all got wet on this one, but has to be one of the best rides!

Poppy flew into LA this Friday morning and arrived in Anaheim just as we were about to walk out the door to get to California Land. He decided to come along for a couple of hours before he dropped from Jet lag. As you can probably tell from the photo...he is a little tired! The kids enjoyed having him with them for a short time though!

Check out the big wheel in the background of the picture below. Kell, Breyton, Cai, Poppy & I decided to go for a ride. I am not great at these sorts of rides, I get motion sickness (so does Chey; she decided to watch from the sideline...I should have done the same!). I didn't realise until we were almost in the wheel that there were two different ones...one that swings and one that just goes around slowly....guess which one we were on!

The Pixar parade was nothing on the Disneyland parade, but still alot of fun

After the Pixar parade, we made out way back to the hotel room to wake up a sleepy Poppy and have a quick swim in the pool (by this stage, the weather had really heated up during the day - nights were still cold though), then it was back to Disneyland for the night time events.

Disneyland closed at midnight, but we only made it to 10.30pm. When we booked the trip, I was certain 2 days was going to be more than enough time and I would be all theme parked out! Although I was a little theme parked out, I could really have done with another day at both parks to do all the things we missed....and we did miss alot! Especially at California land. All in all, we went to bed happier for having experienced the magical world of Disney!
