Sunday, June 5th – Angeles Mountains, Los Angeles, California - Day 115
Today is a big day, today we complete the full North American Disney experience. On a warm Wednesday, on the 9th of March we visited Disneyworld. Today we visit Disneyland.
I woke up at 7:30 but I’m not sure Gen slept a wink in anticipation, we were out the door at 8:30. The drive was an hour from mountain to Disney. We arrived at the Toy Story parking lot and got locked and loaded; our bags were packed anticipating we were closing the park. We jumped on the shuttle after security and a line. We were in the front gates and talking to Disney characters by 10:50 am.
The first thing you notice about Disneyland is everything is so much smaller. Disneyworld is huge where at Disneyland everything feels more comfortable. We met Pluto before boarding the Disneyland Railroad bound for Fantasyland.
We hopped off the train and directly into Pinocchio’s Daring Journey with no line followed by a trip through the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough. Another difference between the two Disney’s is Disneyworld has Cinderella’s castle while Disneyland has Sleeping Beauty’s castle.
We finally got stuck in a line when we stopped to take pictures with princesses. Gen started distributing the two backpacks full of food she packed. To sustain us Gen brought: two containers of hummus, brie, package of crackers, full celery stalk, baby carrots, pita, nuts, nectarines, bananas, apples, gummy worms, loaf of bread worth of peanut butter and jam sandwiches, and boiled eggs. We were ready to go when we met Cinderella and the human version of Ariel. They are so delightfully in character and super friendly.
Gen was furiously working the app to minimize line times, we switched to Frontierland to ride the Sailing Ship Columbia. The coolest thing was you could go below deck and see how the ship was set-up. We took a ride around the Pirates Lair on Tom Sawyer Island, and it looked cool so off we went.
