Big Adventures, Little World

DISNEYLAND! That’s all that really needs to be said. I had mentioned to Elese a long time ago that one day I would take her to Disneyland, but I don’t think she ever full believed, so she was very excited, so was I, after all, it is a magical place. I had been to Tokyo Disneyland previously, but that was 10 years ago when I was 15 and couldn’t really remember a lot of it so I was looking forward to it and while a lot of it is based around and aimed at younger children, it’s still easy for anyone to have a great time there. There’s plenty of rides, and we went on as many as we could, including Thunder Mesa Riverboat, Phantom Manor Haunted House, Big Thunder Mountain roller coaster, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril roller coaster, It’s A Small World (which Elese hated), Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups, Alice in Wonderland’s Curious Labyrinth maze, and Star Wars Star Tours simulator. Our favourite though was definitely Space Mountain: Mission 2 which is a roller coaster that goes through, a mountain I guess, in darkness with lights and laser effects throughout the whole ride. It was great! The only thing I thought that would make it better was if it went faster. We spent most of the day there until just before it closed, wandering around, riding the rides, looking in the shops (although the shops were quite disappointing) and taking in the atmosphere of the place. It was a lot of fun, we both thoroughly enjoyed it and got to do almost everything we wanted to and planned out on doing when we arrived.
