Disneyland

So, I finally made it to Disneyland!! YAY!! It was fun. Christophe and I went with Christophe's friend Brandon and his girlfriend Katie. We left Monday night and got into Anaheim and went straight to our hotel. (Note, don't ever stay at Extended Stay, something something Studios. They have horrible customer service.) We woke up Tuesday morning and got to Disneyland about 9:30 or 10:00 and left about 4 ish. This day my favorite ride would definitely be Space Mountain, although Splash Mountain was also fun. Below is a picture of us after riding splash Mountain, you can't really tell, but I am basically soaking wet. If you notice the trash can next to me, it says Waste Please. We thought that the way this was worded was quite funny, as if Disneyland was asking us to waste things.


Then on Wednesday we started off at California Adventures riding The Tower of Terror, which as a blast! After riding a few other rides and The Tower of Terror again, we went to the Aladdin show. This was very well done, and the jokes updated for our times. We then went back over to Disneyland. One ride that I don't really like is the Matterhorn. Christophe and I were in one car and my knees were smashing against the car with every jerk and Christophe felt like he had no room either, so my advice is not to ride 2 adults in one car, take your own.


Then on Thursday we just relaxed and spent a couple of hours at the beach. I love the beach and just lying there soaking up the sun. I did stick my feet in the water for about a second, but it was really really cold. That night we meet up with Katie's old roommate for dinner right by the beach, after which Brandon and Katie went to "look for shells along the beach." That is right, he proposed. While they were gone, Christophe started taking pictures of the sunset with his phone, so I took some on the camera for him.

Then Friday we just hung out and then walked around Universal City right by Universal Studios, and went to a movie and then finally we headed out so we could make our flight back to cold Utah. This is my first trip to Disneyland, if you made it through that, I hope it makes since.

Yea Beck!! I am glad you had fun. Sorry about your hotel experience. After being there it probably makes you want to move to the heat even more, huh. Maybe soon. Love you!
