Our first full day in the USA. Well it seems everyone got lot's of sleep. Infact Thomas doesn't even remember waking up to eat dinner. After coming back to the hotel from Disneyland everyone pretty much crashed. So I went out and did some shopping. We bought an inflate-able mattress for Thomas to sleep on. Our intention this trip is to book only twin double rooms and have Tom sleep on the inflatable. The mattress and pump only coast $40USD from the legendary Walmart. I took the opportunity to buy 2 USA mobile phones again from Walmart for only $40. This makes calling here in the USA really cheap. $50 for the month with unlimited calls and text. All the kids wanted USA candy so I tried my best to cater to their needs.
We pretty much got to do everything we wanted to do at Disneyland today. Got to the park early and managed to get photo's with some of the main characters. We also got to watch the Parade which is world famous. Here in California Disney they do not have the night parade with the floats all lit up anymore. Nevertheless Genna loved all of it with floats that included movies such as Aladin, Snow White, The Princess & the frog, Peter Pan (Courtneys favourite -- because the guy playing Peter was 'HOT' -- her words not mine), Tangled, Beauty & the beast and Mary Poppins.
It is summer here and the middle of the school hoildays so the park was packed, but we used the fast pass system to our advantage and got all the rides in. Some of our favourites included, Space Mountain (an indoor coaster in the dark), Indiana Jones, Splash Mountain, Star Tours (based on star wars).
On the way home I treated the kids to "In - N - Out" Burger a unique healthyish Burger chain here in the USA. They really enjoyed it. We came back to the hotel and zonked out.
We are staying at the Howard Johnson in Fullerton about 5 miles from the Parks. It is not the best but when you get home late at night you pretty much just crash. They include breakfast which is basically, powered eggs, potatos, rice, juice, a little fruit mainly watermelon. The Table cloths at the b'fast table looked like they hadn't been washed in weeks and there was eggs on the seat when I pulled it out and we were one of the first to eat breakfast so you get the idea. But it does have free wifi internet which is how I can make this blog. Enjoy some more pics. Tomorrow is Universal Studios.
