Disney reloaded

Disneyland is great, there is no questioning that but it is very interesting how different your experiences there can be. The first time Bekki and I were on our own, exploring the park, taking rides that appealed to us and enjoyed to just stroll around the park. This time we went there with a group of people who had all been there multiple times and knew all the good rides and fun places to go and drag you along that you hardly have any time to soak up all the wonderful impressions around you. The second time was definitely more fun but I also really enjoyed the first time with all its dreaminess and its romance and I am very happy that we were lucky enough to experience both ways and in that order.

Kenny took us there at around 11 o'clock, we were a bit earlier than the others, and we decided to go into California Adventure first, where Bekki and I hadn't been yet and we went straight to the only rollercoaster. Bekki had never been on one before and she was very exited for her first ride. It looked good from the ground, with a lot of steep kurves and a looping but it was quite slow and it lacked the final kick that gives you the butterflies in the tummy. Nevertheless it was good fun and Kenny took a video of the ride which isn't very exiting but it's kind of funny to hear me scream.

(I'll try to post the video here when my Computer goes back to normal, it's killing me at the moment)

We met the others, Dani, Mike, Lauren, Ivy, and Lauren, at the "Hollywood, Tower of Terror", the only ride that has the potential to give you the thrills, and had a really good day with them. We rode some rides and stood in line for a long time which wasn't so bad because we had great company. It was a rather wet and cold day and after a few hours the light drizzle turned into heavy rain that drenched us to the bones. It stayed like that for the rest of the day but it didn't have any impact on the good time we had.

For lunch we left the park because the food in there is so expensive, and went to a place called Mimi's, which looked far to classy for that group of wet and loud people that we were but they treated us very well and fed us with so much free bread, that we were already full when they took our orders and we only bought cups of soup or little entrees.

We stayed in the park until 11pm and had such a fun day with all these wonderful people and it made me so thankful for how everything had worked out for Bekki and me and for all the great things we are experiencing here. Lucky us...

Superheroes in rain gear!
