Amber and Janelle's WCB and LA Holiday Photo TR

[ambe_bambeIndiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Donkey.]

So, the story begins, I'm at work one day and decide, hmm Mum's birthday is coming up, I wonder what I should get her and then I realized, her birthday is in February and WCB is in February, and being Mum's dream has always been to go to Disneyland I decided her birthday present was a trip to LA the week of WCB (how convenient)

So here's what we did.
Day 1: Get horrendously lost in LA, took us 4 hours to get from LAX to Hollywood Blvd, for the usual tourist stuff. (I've done it before but of course being Mum's first trip she wanted to visit) we then headed down to Anaheim to check into our hotel, Anaheim Plaza Suites which was fabulous for the price. We then headed into Disneyland for the evening and it was amazing, we walked in right as the parade was starting that was amazing, we spent most of that night just exploring and I showed Mum around only doing the rides with little or no wait.

Day 2: West Coast Bash Day 1: Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Will keep it nice and short here, this was both of our first trips to SFMM. I loved it.... Mum, not so much. It didn't click to us that "hey its called Magic Mountain, well maybe its built on a Mountain" I didn't mind the hilly exercise, infact I was just waaay to excited because I got Tatsu ERT!!!!!!!

Day 3: West Coast Bash Day 2: Knott's Berry Farm

What a fabulous day. ERT, Backstage tours, Mrs Knotts Chicken Dinner and a park full of friendly staff and awesome people. We did all 3 tours (Silver Bullet, Monte and Roundhouse) Loved the buffet lunch, won a coaster wheel in TPR Quest (we all know a wheel is what I came for) then when to Mrs Knotts for dinner with our awesome new friends from San Diego. I should also add was our first time here and we will definitely be back!

Day 4: Universal Studios VIP Experience

Today we visited Universal Studio's I wasn't fussed on visiting again, but mums first time so we opted for the VIP experience and I can tell you now it was worth every dollar. We got there and they take you up to this beautiful room full of food and movie memorabilia. You are then guided around the park and taken onto the rides, and you go infront of the people with front of line passes. Then you jump on your special VIP tram and do the backlot tour. Not the usually 45 mins sitting on a tram, it was 3 hours and we got to get off and walk around the back-lot the prop warehouse the costume department and the set of parenthood. I will just pop a little mini overview in here but when I get a chance to really sort through the photos I will do a full TR just on this.

I'm missing a few things towards the end as both the cameras died and I really need to edit the stuff I took on my mobile before it can be posted

Days 5, 6, 7 and 8: Disneyland Resort!

I don't think there's much else you can say but yep its Disneyland full of Mickey Mouse goodness, we also decided to do the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour as mum and I are mega Disney Fan Girls.

Now for the photos.

Now these ones are just in any random order across the few days.

Once I get the Photopass CD I will add those in too.

Amazing photos. As for that Skittles sign I too was like wtf. I think more so cause I am from Canada. Never really got it.
