Day 3 in LA - Disneyland Park

Went to Disneyland a few days ago.  We got there at 9.35am in the morning from by the 640 bus in Downtown LA and was met with LINES. 

LINES
Those who know me, know I hate lining up for stuff.

But it's Disney.  And theme parks are ALL about lines.


It was hard to take photos without having other people accidentally chime. For example:


But that's cool. The more the merrier.


Having been to the Tokyo Disneyland before, this was a bit anti-climatic.  I didn't realise that all the Disneyland's would look the same, let alone have the same rides.  So yeah.  Best thing about this visit was that I got to ride on the Space Mountain roller coaster.  When I was in Japan, the ride was actually closed for maintenance. Super good ride - I loved it.

A few attractions they had were live talks or shows, and they ALWAYS had a shameless plug for Wreck-it Ralph.  It worked because I really want to watch it now.

HEY RALPH!
See that? Another splash ride!


Lunch time!

I haven't drunk so much soft drink in a long while.  During uni, I stuck with water and coffee and avoided sugary drinks like coke but I've had a regular coke (which is like freaking massive) pretty much everyday because it's been super hot in the afternoons.  However my skin started breaking out :'(  so I'm back to buying water. Boiled water tastes so strongly of chlorine.

BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM FRIES!
I got the healthier option and my dad looked at me like I was crazy.

The healthier option - vego

Mark Twain cruise




Carved pumpkins are cute

LIGHTS GALORE
But I liked the Disney Castle and Christmas tree better :)

Magical

Mandatory selfie with the tree 

Less than a month until Xmas

Hopefully I'll get round to posting up Day 2 stuff HAHA.  I went to Santa Monica Pier today and it was AMAZING.  Yesterday I said that I'd be happy to never come here again, but I think I'll be back just for the pier and the views. And the Promenade shopping strip. Holy crap, that place is beautiful.

I also had another run in with 2 abnormal people today on public transport.  Honestly, every day I spent in LA, I spend it half in awe and half in fear.

It's raining in LA. Hope the weather in Syd is looking up.

I don't miss home yet - but with this growing fear and insecurity, I think I will soon.


Fingers crossed that SF is much better. Much much better. 

3 screams of joy:

It's H-O-T in Sydney.

I must say you are the best selfie-taker I know, armed (pun intended) with that naturally long wingspan to also take group-selfies (groupies?).
