Our Disneyland Adventure Day 1


We're going to Disneyland!

Well actually we were just across the street but it seemed like the thing to say. We wre up early today @ 5 AM ready to get the puppies checked into Disneylands version of the Disneland Hotel for Dogs and Cats. Today was our early admission day, and we were waiting at the gate when they opened the turnstyles. It was great to see how the park had changed and how beautiful it was. Just as we imagined I guess, but even better I than I remembered.

This was a day that we had been warned about for months. Traveling to Disneyland on the 4th of July was just not recommended. But our travel plans and days off had been requested and we wre looking forward to this and the 4th of July was when we would be at Disneyland. Now we were here and .... well .... where were all the people? This was one of the slowest morings we could remember at the park. In the first hour we rode on maybe 6 rides and on one, Space Mountain,' we rode twice without leaving the ride vehicle. In the first two hours we rode more rides than we expected to ride during the whole day. It was hot and humid and maybe that was going to keep folks away but we still were going from ride to ride without any crush or people at all.

Each day we have planned a food adventure and today we were going to the Blue Bayou restaurant to enjoy one of my favorites, the Monte Cristo. Our reservations were for 11:30 am making us part of the first group of diners to get in. It looked just as I remembered it and the food was wonderful.

We took a break during the hottest part of the day, going back to our Hotel room for a little nap and to plan our afternoon.

Returning, we rode some more rides and then found a spot to watch the 50th anniversary parade and then the fireworks. Being the 4th of July we knew there would be moe fireworks than just the normal amazing fireworks show. What a wonderful day!

Now everybody is just beat and just about to fall over ... so it's off to sleep and get a bit of rest before we hit it again tomorrow.

Later...

The Group (and puppies too!)
