The Land of Disney Pt. 2

We took a pontoon boat set-up as a raft to the island dodging huge canoes full of canoeists, the sailing ship Columbia, and the Mark Twain Riverboat. We stopped after a tunnel haunted with pirate’s gold to have another bite to eat. Down the island we went over a fun bouncy bridge before the kids climbed around the stone castle. Dragging John away we crossed the river again. 



At this point, we are lucky that we’ve experienced so little wait time. The lines were becoming longer and more inevitable. We went to Critter Country to see The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. It was a fun, psychedelic experience featuring the Heffalumps from Pooh’s dream. We even got a hug and an autograph from Eeyore and Tigger. 


Next stop, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. I was unaware that this existed in Disneyland until we arrived. I was really looking forward to it and it did not disappoint. The level of detail put into recreating a port in a galaxy far, far away was astounding. The line wait times were astronomical at 110 minutes for Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run so we just decided to walk around. We met Rey, Fennec Shand, Vi Moradi, a random Wookie and R2D2. We were hanging out near the Millenium Falcon when Rey took all the kids and had them harness the force to push R2D2 back. The kids were enthralled.

The morning was stifling hot, we were looking forward to the swim.   We drove to the visitor centre at Lake Mead Recreation Centre. We could see Lake Mead on the way. The water was well below the high-water line on the rocks. At the visitor centre we got our passport stamped, filled our water bottles, and received junior ranger booklets. The air conditioning was so nice we set up the kids to work on their booklets and hung around. The kids finished up enough activities that they were sworn in by a very nice ranger before we left.   We decided to go see the Hoover Dam first. We dropped the trailer in the parking lot. We heard it might need to be opened at the security checkpoint and we couldn’t be bothered. The H...
