It all started with a mouse….

The day had arrived that I was most looking forward to at the end of our road trip- Disneyland Day. And it did not disappoint. We had a fun packed day and it felt great to be back in the happiest place on earth (I really don't buy into the marketing at Disney).

The incredibly tiny Sleeping Beauty Castle.

A definite highlight was watching Captain EO again. As soon as it started it took me right back to my childhood when I watched it at Disneyland Paris for the first time. I now have ‘We Are Here to Change the World’ stuck on reply in my brain.

There are two parks at Disneyland, the main park and California Adventure. The latter pays tribute to California, walking into the park felt like stepping inside a California postcard. The rides were a lot more adult orientated, but that doesn’t mean they were Aimee orientated!

California Screaming has to be the longest rollercoaster I have ever been on, and don’t get me started on the ‘technical difficulties’ we experienced on the Ferris Wheel. My first clue should have been the sick bags that are provided on entry to the ride, you see this isn’t just any ordinary Ferris wheel, oh no, the gondolas on this ride have interior rails so that they slide inward and outward as the wheel rotates. Add this to technical difficulties, which left us hanging in the air or going around AGAIN, lets just say I was very pleased when my feet were back on solid ground.

The night time show ‘Colour of Magic’ was also amazing, Matt could talk all day about the technicalities of the show, which had more than 1,200 fountains and features not only lights and water but also fire, fog, and lasers. Needless to say Disney always know how to put on a show.

Matt was very excited to see that there was a Tron show and at night a Tron techno disco. It was all a bit surreal with the podium dances and techno whistles, it was easy to forget you were in Disney.

We had a great day at Disney, now all that was left was to fight our way through the downtown LA traffic, scarier than any ride, including the ferris wheel.
