A very early start this morning (5.45am!) as we wanted to be at Disneyland when the gates opened. The parking wasn't even open when we got there at 7.30am so the kids and I walked down (well I hobbled on crutches) to get the tickets and get in line. I got a few tips from the lady behind me in the queue so by the time the gates opened I was ready to go.
We went straight to City Hall to get a disabilities guide - well my knee is sore and I thought by the end of the day walking it would be worse. Anyway, the crutches enabled us to disability access so for most of the rides instead of having to wait in line we either went straight on or received a time to come back. It was awesome and it meant we did all the rides we wanted plus a few more and a couple twice! Silver lining right there!
We did the Star Tours which was a bit like the Fly Over Canada but a bit bumpier and then went to Fantasyland where we went on the Matterhorn which was a really cool roller coaster going through a mountain in a bobsled. While we were in Fantasy Land we did Peter Pan's Flight and Alice in Wonderland which were pretty sedate but the effects and animation were awesome!
Next we went to Frontierland but the Big Thunder wasn't running. :(
We did the Pirates of the Caribbean which was a boat one- again quite slow but the effects were great! The Haunted Mansion was here too so we did that while we were there.
We were close to Critter Country so we did Splash Mountain next- didn't get too wet thank goodness
but it was fun!
Next off to Adventureland where we had a return time 40 minutes later for the Indiana Jones ride so we did the Jungle Cruise (the guide told the worst jokes!) and then had our lunch before heading back for the ride. FAVOURITE ride EVER! We all hopped in a jeep which went along a track like crazy 4 wheel driving. So much fun!
Headed back to Tomorrowland to do Space Mountain. Had a bit of a wait and then it broke down so we went and watched a Star Wars movie in the theatre. Kaleb had another go on the Matterhorn and we went on Nemo's submarine ride. Then we went back to Space Mountain which was now working. It's a roller coaster but the whole thing is in the dark! It was great fun!
We had a look through Sleeping Beauty's Castle and then went on the Indiana Jones ride again and then headed out to get Subway for dinner. Back in and we went and got a spot for the Fantasmic show which was really awesome! It was lit up and had fountains and lasers and fireworks, not to mention all of the characters!! I loved it!
The fireworks were meant to be on after but they were cancelled due to winds so we watched a little show about Disney and then headed back to the rides. We did 'It's a small world' and then watched some of the parade on the way back. It was awesome and amazing and wonderful but exhausting!! Managed 19kms.....on crutches thank you very much!!
