Disneyland

On Wednesday, October 14, we went to Disneyland.  They opened at 8:00 am and closed at 6:00 pm.  We got there at 9:00 and it was already starting to get crowded.

At Disneyland, the have something called fast pass.  With your entry ticket, you could fast pass certain rides and bypass most of the line.  You can only get a certain amount per hour and only some of the rides had it.  The moment we got to Disneyland, my dad went to fast pass some of the rides and we went on the matterhorn first.

The Matterhorn Bobsleds goes through and around the mountain.  Inside, there are abominable snowmen that you go racing past.

Among the most crowded rides was Splash Mountain.  It was really hot so I could see why.  Sometimes the line was at 50 minutes, but other times it was over 80 minutes.  You could fast pass it, but it was still quite a wait.  The inside was based on the movie "Song of the South".  It had a bunch of scenes and music from the movie.  There were about four drops into the water.  The biggest was a 50-foot drop.  It was such a cool ride.

Autopia is a really cool ride that you drive a car around.  There is a track built into the ground that you steer over.  If you turn to hard, you will hit the middle track and get jerked around a lot.  The cars are really old fashioned and you smell the gas it uses.  I used to be really bad at it and would jerk the car around a lot.  This time though, I was actually okay.  I bumped the middle railing a few times, but it wasn't that jerky.  Those are definitely harder to drive than a real car.  Except for you don't have to worry about other cars.

One of my personal favorites is It's a Small World.  It has dolls from all countries.  Clothing and props match the culture and also many of the dances.  Throughout the course of the ride, it changes the theme song of it's a small to many different languages.  The two languages I was able to understand were Korean and English.

We went during the halloween party time, and my dad bought us tickets to the Halloween party.  The halloween party went from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm.  We got to wear our costumes around the park and trick or treat.  I dressed up as little red riding hood.  All over the park, there were treat lines.  You would go through the line and people would put candy in your bag.  You could also get some healthy snacks too.  Apples. carrots, pretzels, apple crisps, and yogurt covered cranberries were all part of the healthier treats.

Since the halloween party required an extra ticket, there weren't as many people in line for the rides.  A lot of the more crowded rides were less crowded and we went on a lot more rides during the party.
