Day 2: Disneyland

Well, that was Disneyland.
We got up at 7am and found the Hotel's Continental Breakfast without much difficulty. After the muesli and fresh fruit we moved on to the freeway and told the Sat-nav to take us to Disneyland. Eventually it found the way through the confusing over bridges and we arrived at the huge Disneyland resort, practically a city in itself ( it even has multiple freeway off ramps reserved solely for this attraction).
Finding our way through the 5 story parking facility, we caught the specially designed transports to the main gate. Finally, at 9:30am on Friday 11th June we entered the Land of Disney.
Working our way up the unique main street, full with the inevitable souvenir shops, food stalls and even a movie theater showing 6 classic Mickey Mouse films. The buildings were all singularly designed and the entire place could have been an actual town.
We next found ourselves in the first of many lands in Disneyland: Adventureland. We made straight for the Indiana Jones Adventure Ride, renowned as the best ride at Disneyland. It didn't disappoint, with a fast ride in darkness across rope bridges, dodging snakes and rolling boulders.
Throughout the day we went on to do almost every ride at "The Happiest Place on Earth", in order:
The jungle cruise, the Pirates of the Caribbean "Dead Men Tell no Tales", Splash Mountain (which stuck to its name as the huge drop got us soaked!), Star Tours (a Star Wars spin-off that took us rather off course from our supposed destination of Endor), Innoventions, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Space Mountain and The haunted Mansion. These filled up our time rather nicely. After dinner and a little bit of shopping, we finally saw the spectacular show "Fantasmic" which lit up the "Rivers of America" area and included great lightshows and fireworks.
Wanting to skip the later rush, we left as they were setting off the final fireworks, and said goodbye to the lit up Disneyland, as we exited via Main Street. Over 12 hours had passed since we had first entered the gates.
Now I can truly say I've done Disneyland, the full experience after a spectacular day.
Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt!
