Two days ago, my family left Morgan Hill and our house, and drove all the way to Los Angeles, and went to Disneyland. What follows is the events of these past 2 days.
We woke up early Tuesday morning, which was quite a task for us (I hate mornings), and started driving. The drive was fairly ordinary, lots of cars, and road. I mostly read and did some school.
Upon finally arriving in L.A. (San Dimas really) we ate lunch with our friends, with whom we would be staying, at In-n-Out. After lunch, which was great, we unloaded our stuff, and spent most of the rest of the day just hanging around the house, we played a game of basketball (plus a bit of hockey, thanks to Al's body checks), and just had fun. Breakfast Wednesday was a good nutritious start to an amazing day.
My tweets recorded the actual events, but there were a few things that I wanted to blog about that were particularly fun or memorable. The wait times for the rides were nuts! The longest wait the whole time was for Peter Pan , and that was only 20 minutes!! Dad, Alex, Nick, and I rode Astro Orbiter, which is a 2 person circular ride with optional up and down motion. Alex and I had to ride together, and Alex was driving. As soon as we sat down, I felt that Al was crushing my leg, and so the whole ride I am yelling "Al, get off my leg! Go up, go up, get off, get off my leg!"Alex refused to go up high enough to counter the centrifugal force, so I got crushed the whole time.
Another fun thing was right after I went on Winnie-the-Pooh with everyone but Mom and Dad (who were riding Indiana Jones). It was about 7:00 and a little dark, and getting cold, and I was over by Splash Mountain, and saw that the listed wait time was 5 minutes! So I started walking through the lines behind 3 other kids, all about my age, and we walked up to the front of the line, and the lady asked "How many? 3 and 1? Would you mind riding with them? No? Okay, there's your log." No waiting, just right into the log, and off we go! While we were riding around the lame story part of the ride, one of the guys handed my a newspaper section with the instructions to read it for the picture part of the ride. The pictures were hilarious! I went twice, and the second time we just switched to the empty log that was ahead of us. That few people were riding!
Last funny thing, that I will talk about, there were plenty of fun and funny things, involved one of the costumed characters. Mom saw Hook, and sent Mandy, Nick, and I off to go get pictures with him, and he was very funny, without saying anything. He was teasing a mother and her two children, and when she asked him for an autograph she called him "Mr Hook". I asked if she knew his full name (I knew because I loved the movie "Hook") and informed her that it was James T. Hook. He offered his hand in gratitude, and to tease the lady.
Right now we are still at our friend's house, and will be leaving later tommorow.
This trip was great fun, not just parts but all of the trip.
Good night!
