When all the work was done, we decided to celebrate and go to Disneyland!! “The HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!” 🙂
Since we only had a day, we decided to go to California Adventure which is relatively new. It was a VERY VERY HOT DAY as always in California. It was a bit difficult for us to walk around due to the heat but we sort of managed still
Everyone parks in the parking lots around the resort and then you can either walk or ride the tram to take you to the different places in Disney Resort
Downtown Disney, Disneyland or California Adventure
California Adventure is the Disneyland for bigger kids or adults since the rides are more adventurous though they have rides for kids still. The feel is not the same as being in Disneyland itself
The first ride we rode was the Tower of Terror…Gosh! If I knew what the ride was going to be about, I would not have ridden it. But come to think of it, it was one of the BEST rides….BUT! I am never riding it again 🙂 I thought it was one elevator drop – but it went up and down several times!!
I found a video on youtube that more or less shows what the ride is

Aladdin- this was almost a Broadway show – with the big theater, all the props and effects
Interesting to see all the strollers outside the theater parked 🙂
Definitely didn’t ride this one 🙂
An interesting ferris wheel!! It looks like the normal big ferris wheel
But when you look closer, the carts SWING back and forth in some parts of the wheel! It does not look scary but once you are up there, I thought it was scary 🙂
Good thing when we got nearer the ride, there was an option for a SWINGING or NON SWINGING cart! or else I would not have ridden it 🙂
They are still building new rides
One of our favorite rides. It was a Toy Story interactive ride where you shoot like in an arcade and get points, so you challenge your partner beside you and with others as well
Don’t be fooled by this sign, now everyone is telling me why I did not ride Soarin’ Over California. Apparently it is just a screen that is around you and you move with the chair

Rics,
Did you not ride Soarin’ Over California? That is my favorite ride in California Adventure.
Triccie
Triccie, Nako, everyone is asking me that and saying it was one of their favorites too- Me being a scaredy cat- as we were about to enter, we saw this warning sign and backed out!!! I added that sign here in my feature – and if you read it – it sounded like it was scary! haha!! like a roller coaster. But my niece said it is just a big screen all around you and you are sitting on a chair that moves lang naman. sayang we missed it 🙁
superb place 😛
