DAY 14 | Disney's Calfornia Adventure | ||
Day 2 at Disney, Our Hotel offers a useful theme park shuttle bus to the park.
Hollie and Ben really wanted to ride The Cars ride.
We rode in Giant Scalextric cars and had a hair raising race with another car.
I found my spirit car.. Day of the dead style.
Then off to the fairground section of the park, with some stomach churning old fashioned rides.
A view from the ferris wheel, complete with hyper swinging gondolas.
Hollie wished we had opted for a static one.
We did "Goofys flying school" a juddering wild mouse contraption.
The wilderness section features some familiar creatures!
We tried our luck on the raging river, in a family sized circular boat.
Hollie and Ben drew the short straw, getting saturated..I only had 1 soggy leg.
An hour plus queue ended our adventures to go on the Guardians of the Galaxy ride, which lives in the old "Tower of Terror " building..Before long it was time to bid Disney farewell.
A slightly less than elegant way to return on the shuttle bus, we barely caught the hourly run, and had to go luggage class, with a marine and his service dog " Clover".
Off to the airport to drop off the young 'uns, with a tiny tear in my eye.
Remind me, that I don't stay in hotels with numbers in their title. Horrid Motel 6 LAX with its cell like room and resident drunks, the gentle strains of the blaring traffic seem to be in the room!
Off to Panda Express for a Chinese,
A Bon voyage snap from Hollie & Ben before they board the flight home.
I will miss them, but not as much as Bens Costco card, which he loved to mention at every given opportunity.
Goodnight Dear Reader, I may or may not get any sleep tonight. xx
