Disneyland

On the 18th of May it was the first day of my Disneyland experience .All my family were awake and ready to go so walked down to Disneyland . We were all very excited, especially Scarlett and me. I told Scarlett about Mickey Mouse and Minnie, and for some reason, for the rest of the holiday she kept calling Mickey, "the Mouse in the House", but then she's only 2.

We got our tickets and started our adventure for the next three days.

Because it was going to be crowded, we had planned to attack the rides separately,
Mum and I raced for Splash Mountain, which is a water roller coaster based on Braer Rabbit. The ride was great and both Mum and I got wet.

We then went on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, which was filled with real pirates, dogs and treasure....just like the movies. We moved along in a pirate boat in the water, falling down waterfalls into the dark with the voices of pirate ghost saying "Dead men tell no tales".

Scarlett was a bit scared but we all got out OK.

Craig and I then ran to the Haunted Mansion. Where you are locked in a room without windows and doors. There are 4 pictures which begin to stretch toward, and realise that they are dead.

A voice echoes around the room saying "there are no windows, and no doors, and that there is only one way to get out, by doing it my way".....becoming a ghost!

Suddenly a wall slides open and we move along a scary hallway and jump into a moving lounge and explore the Haunted Mansion. But we are not alone.... We are joined by a Ghost hitchiker...eee...owww...ooo.!

The next day we get up early and hurry back. We decide so I can ride the fast rides that
Scarlett and my Mum would ride the smaller rides, like Dumbo and the tea cups. While Craig and I went on all the roller coast rides.

Craig and I raced to the front of the queue for the Indiana Jones ride, which was exciting, bumpy, dark and mysterious. You ride in Safari car in search of gold and treasure, driving really fast, as scary props drop in front of you.

we then ran to Splash Mountain, and Craig Lost his hat when we went over the waterfall. It was so funny.

We then ran to Big Thunder. Craig was a bit upset because he lost his hat, but we only had three more rides, to go. The queues were getting longer. But finally we climbed aboard Big Thunder which was like an old fashioned steam train, except it was a roller coaster. And as you went round corners you could wave your arms in the air. Weeeee....!


The next ride was the Matterhorn. Even Craig couldn't remember which Disney movie this ride was in (and he should know because he's so old). We queued for what seemed like hours, and the ride was a bit boring except for the Yeti which kept trying to jump on our bobsled.

The final ride was Space Mountain, we queued for 55 Minutes. However this was the best ride.

You climb aboard a rocket ship and fly around the mountain in the dark, except for small shining stars off in the blurred distance. You go round and round swiftly and fast. It was definitely worth the wait.

We joined up with Mum and Scarlett to go back to hotel for a swim and some lunch. We later went back to Disneyland that night and had a Western BBQ dinner with Woody and Jessie from Toy story where we had Ribs, Chicken, Corn and Baked Beans.

Our last day at Disney I swapped Craig For Mum and we set out to do the Roller coasters.

Mum gets a bit scared, that's why I took Craig. But Mum said she could handle it.

So we went on Big Thunder which Mum loved.

We did a few more rides, and finally went to Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Where we bought Scarlett a Princess Dress, with Shoes, sceptre and crown to match.

Then we we had to go, because we had to drive to San Diego. I was sad, these were the three best days of the holiday and my life.
