Yip, we cruised through LA to Anaheim and checked into our slum, er, I mean hotel Friday night. Yes, I kinda meant slum, we are in a older type motor inn, and I knew what we were in for, but the hotel in Burlingame was SO nice, that this is beyond a step down! Its going from the Hilton to the street. No hot breakfast buffet with coffee 24/7 (oh yah baby, was that ever nice) just some stale pastries and coffee from 7-9. Ok, its not that bad.I was too cheap to spend a lot of money to sleep here, and that’s what it is. We are out all day, and crashing here for rest, then back again in the morning. But there is a fridge and a microwave, so I won’t have to buy a microwave, use it, then return it to Walmart. (a trick I learned from a co-worker, bless her smart mind).
We hit those main gates with that famous little mouse Saturday, and were the kids ever excited! Our very first ride was the Jungle Cruise, while we waited for our FastPass with Indiana Jones. The kids were enthralled, but Kade was completely over the moon on Indiana Jones. He has never watched the movies, of course, but saw the ride preview on the website when we were planning and has be fixated on it (and a few other rides) since then. It is a scary dang ride, but the only part that scared him was a giant snake, and he was over that. It was a crashing bashing helluva ride and he was thrilled! And that set the tone for him, the crazier the better! Thunder Mountain Railway (which Ivy went on, she’s tall enough for that wild ride, and now she talks about it constantly) and another little coaster are his other favorites.
My favorite is the Buzz Lightyear, you take little laser guns and hit the targets while in your little buggy, which swivels side to side with a joystick, its awesome!
We are having a hoot, the weather is amazing, 22-25 Celsius, so just perfect. We just had naps and are off to California Adventure Park now, to try that one out for the first time, as no one has been there yet out of us.
