Day at Disneyland

Hello!
So last week, I said that it would be really great if I could post two days later, which was last Sunday. Unfortunately  I couldn't but I'm going to post what I couldn't post earlier now (...that was kind of confusing... O___O)
Anyways, last Saturday, I went to Disneyland!!! >.< This was really exciting for me because the last time I went to Disneyland was when I was a little kid and couldn't remember any of it. Also, I don't usually go to amusement parks, and I went with a bunch of friends this time ^^

Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse statue at the end of Main Street

First, I want to tell you to not expect much from my trip (it was pretty plain, honestly). Also, I tried to get a lot of photos (trust me, I tried), but I forgot a lot of times... whoops? :P

So, my day started off with waiting... -_- Yeah, waiting. My friends and I didn't get on the same tram. When I first went through the security check, the line was short, but I guess that for them, it took a really long while. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to wait for an hour and thirty minutes. (Do you know how scary it is to be a loner at Disneyland!!!?? :'( )
At 10:00 am, while I was waiting, a band came out, along with a bunch of employees dressed as a bunch of Disney Characters, such as Belle, the Mad Hatter, Mary Poppins, and Alice. Here are some pictures:
 



Soon after the show ended, my friend arrived! ^^ Then, we ditched the others (cause we wanted to travel with just the two of us) :P. We walked through main street to Fantasyland, and we decided to go on this ride first:


After the ride, we questioned why we rode it first and why we even rode it... O___O Then, we went to eat some burgers for an early lunch (gosh, food at Disneyland is really expensive -__-)
We walked through Fronteirland and passed Thunder Mountain, which was being fixed. There, we tried to shoot targets with fake rifles at the shooting range. I learned that fake rifles are really, really heavy and that I'm a pretty decent shooter :)
Later, we rode a raft by New Orleans and America's Rivers and explored the little island that has something to do with Pirates of the Carribean.

 









After that, we went through Mickey's Toontown and got cotten candy (sorry, no pictures of the food because it was really sticky :P)

My friend mentioned seeing an ice cream shop on Main Street, so we headed back because I wanted some. But, by the time we got there, it was noon, really hot, and the line was extremely long. So, we decided to settle for some frozen lemonade. We spent the next half an hour sitting on a bench eating our dessert.




"...popcorn..." :o

So many people!!! >.<






Next, we went to ride Autopia (thank god we got fast passes, otherwise we wouldn't waited there for hours). We didn't finish our lemonade yet, so we hid it in our bags.


I found out that I suck at driving...really suck.

After that, we sat at a bench in front of this huge marble ball and ate more of our frozen lemonade. Then, we went into the Innovation Center (I call it the Science Museum). It was really cool!!! >.< They had lots of new technology, like holograms, and a bunch of games , like Kinect Fruit Ninja!!!! KINECT FRUIT NINJA!!! There was also an Iron Man Exhibit, which I'm pretty sure I saw in a Wong Fu Weekend video recently...(Phil and Wes go to Hong Kong; go check it out >.>)






"Popcorn!!! ~<3" XD

...the ball was really convenient for washing my hands O___O (yeah, I know that's gross)




I finished the rest of my lemonade in there. When we got out, my friend and I decided to buy more food; I got some popcorn and she got a churro. We walked to Main Street again just in time for the parade (we had no idea about it though)

 



It's Mary Poppins again!!!

After that, we basically loitered around. The lines for everything were really long, and the both of us were too lazy to wait -n- We wanted to go on Space Mountain but the wait in line was over an hour long and getting fastpasses would mean that you would have to wait until 8:00 at night! I guess that was kind of predictable though. We probably should have gotten on it first thing in the morning.
Then, we went back into the Innovation center and played Fruit Ninja for another hour or two >.< I really suck at it, so it was pretty fun to just watch my friend play (she's really good). Around 6:00, the friends that we ditched in the morning invited us to eat dinner together at Red Rocket's (a spaghetti and pizza place). We were already going to eat there so we accepted. It was really fun to see them all again (Strangely, while we were traveling, we didn't bump into anyone that we knew)
We ate some dinner, and then we all decided to ride the Buzz Lightyear ride. It was my first time, and I think that Level 3 is pretty good.
When we were about to leave, I decided to go buy a souvenier for my brother and I. I didn't really have a lot of time left, so I entered the nearest store, the Star Wars one, and built two R2D2s (or droids) for us.

Blue for me, Orange for my brother. After I got home, I realized that I got one of the legs wrong for the blue one :'(

And finally, before we left, I took a picture of the building front of the park (I wanted to take one while the train was there ever since I got to Disneyland, but I kept missing my chances)


Well, that was my day at Disneyland, and I would say that I was pretty happy. Everything was really expensive, and I didn't get to go on many rides, but hanging out with my friends really made my day XD

That's all for now! Bye! :D
