Disneyland Resort Anaheim

Today we had a full day at Disneyland. One of the most exciting rides we have been on so far was Grizzly River Run. Jack was the unluckiest on this ride again, because he got soaked. I recorded the whole ride, and the faces on the kids and Stephen tell the story.

Soarin over California was another good ride. We were suspended in chairs, …

We arrived at LAX after a 13 hour flight, which included stopping over at Sydney, feeling quite exhausted but ready to tackle the day since we couldn't check in until 2pm at Anaheim. So we got a transfer from LAX to Anaheim, dropped our bags off at the hotel, purchased the 3 day pass for Disneyland and got straight into it.

Disneyland was …

Oh Disneyland, you stole my heart. There really is something magical about this theme park, even lining up for a ride is fun, but I am getting ahead of myself.
We arrived in Los Angeles and caught a shuttle bus out to Anaheim, and our accommodation at the Anaheim Islander Inn and Suites. We arrived in the late afternoon, checked in and then …

Dag 20 een laatste magische dag




Vanochtend weer op tijd op gestaan om 8.00 stonden we naast ons bedje. Na nog even de verhalen weer te hebben gelezen, en te hebben ontbeten zitten we om 10.00 weer in de auto. We zijn al ervaren in de route we hebben zelfs de tomtom niet meer nodig, en zo komen we een half …

Hi All,

Sleeeeeppppppyyyyy girls today, they needed a bit of kickstart to get moving so we could make full use of our …

We hebben ons verslapen. Daphne wordt als eerste wakker om 9 uur en dat is precies de tijd dat we in de auto hadden willen stappen. Maar goed, snel douchen, aankleden, ontbijten en op weg. Eerst zoeken we een Hotel in Anaheim. In het hotel hebben ze problemen met internet en kunnen we in eerste instantie niet inchecken. We moeten een half uurtje …

Got ready and rolled out by 10am through Disney District and onto the gates, not very far at all its gona take a bit of working the whole system out as we have been fed heaps of information from helpful people and it all …

DISNEYLAND! I’m not like most people I know (especially Mark!) who have dreamed of going to Disneyland since they were young. So, I had no real expectations; and oh how I was blown away. What an amazing place. The streets and surrounds were beautiful. The rides and attractions are separated into unique sections: Tomorrow land, Adventure Land …
