Disneyland/ California Adventure Trip Report (10/27)

So yesterday, i went to both disney parks and had an awesome time. We got there at 10 and made it into the park at 11 because of the annoying ticket ppl. We ran straight to TOT. I had never been on the ride before so i really really liked it. Ive heard its the worst of all of them, but i dont care. I like the part where it goes up fast and stops and then immediately drops and you never manage to get back to your seat.

We then went on Monsters Inc. I have to say i was dissapointed. It was an extremely lame weird ride. The only good thing about it was the room with all the doors.

After that i headed over to C.S. This was the longest time I waited for any ride the whole day. I'd never been on it either because it wasn't open the last time i was there. CS is now one of my favorite roller coasters ever. I love the waterfront launch, the Loop and especially the smoothness of it. It was amazing.

Next we went over to Maliboomer and rode twice. Nice short fun ride. although, I really hate the Scream sheild things. They suck!!! it be so much fun without those.

Then i went on mulholland madness while my friend waited. It was ok but it wasnt the best. It would be really interesting if they put some spinning cars on the track!

Afterwards we went back to TOT for another ride and then to CS again. with some fastpasses we had gotten earlier. After that we went to Soarin over california and got fastpasses for later in the day.

After that, we used our park hopper tickets to go to Disneyland and rushed to HM to get fastpasses because the line was huge. And then went to buy lunch. Earlier in the week, i had hurt my knee and it was starting to really act up. A cast member noticed i was limping around and told me to go to city hall. They gave me a pass that would let me and my friend go on any ride we wanted to by going through the exit! it was awesome. It basically worked as a fastpass for some rides too.

After that we hit up Space mountain, Astro Blasters, Big thunder mountain railroad, pirates, Haunted Mansion, Gadgets go coaster and Roger rabbits car toon spin.

After that, we went back to C.A. and rode Soarin, TOT and CS one more time. By then, the park was closed and so we went back to Disneyland.

Rode a whole bunch of stuff. Then watched phantasmic. Dear lord!! that show is amazing!!! i couldnt believe it! i had disliked shows for so long but i finally found one i liked! After three more rides on HM, we did the dumb thing and went on splash mountain at night... in the front two seats... wow... I felt brilliant. Both of us were completely drenched.

We then walked over to space mountain and rode that then went on Autopia. I used to love that ride... unfortunately... I dont anymore. Then, we went over to Pirates for a ride and then for the last ride, we did splash mountain in the very back.

an awesome account....you rode all my favorites except the Matterhorn...its tough on a person (very raw, bumpy, no padding there!) but always a must when we visit the parks

cant wait till i can go back again (i live in PA, so its always a major save-up for us to get out there). hopefully Rachel will do Disney College Program out there.....

thanks again

Matterhorn is on my top 5... I didnt ride it because its closed. Theyre Retracking it or something
