We spent all of last week in southern California with five days at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. I had not been there since the completion of California Adventure and Downtown Disney. We spent quite abit of time in these new additions. By far the best ride in the California park was "Soaring Over California". What an incredible ride. Grizzly River Run is the "wet" ride. We went as a family on this. A total of eight people are loaded in the raft. By the end of the ride some part of you WILL be wet. While in California Adventure we went into the Hollywood section. This totally played games with my mind! It looks like Hollywood. We had the opportunity to see Aladdin. This rivaled any Broadway production. We also visited the Golden Vine Winery presentation. A definate highlight was the Disney Electrical Parade. I had seen it on video but the live version was outstanding!
Most of our evenings were spent in Disneyland. The 50th Anniversary Celebration will soon be coming to a close, Mickey ears with "50" scattered throughout the park and on every ride. The 50th fireworks presentation was beautiful (we saw this twice). Sleeping Beauty's Castle changed colors with each firework display. WOW!!! Our family spent alot of time in Fantasyland. I think my favorite was the Peter Pan ride. Judging by the lines it was popular with other people as well. Other family favorites include Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Matterhorn, and the Tomorrowland Rockets. We also saw the Fantasia presentation (two times). As we were leaving the park on Friday evening, Tina made the comment "I could stay a few more days". I agreed. Our family had a wonderful time!
Southern California weather was 60-70 degrees and sunny. It rained off and on Friday. We went prepared with umbrellas.
Weather today: Sunny, not a cloud in the sky and 74 degrees. I can finally dry out and mow the lawn!!!
