(I apologise in advance for this being an Image heavy post!)
Continuing on from my post about California Adventure Land, the next part of my trip was the "real" Disneyland. What can you say apart from "magic"?
I met all the characters I wanted to (and yes, I did queue up for photos will all of them!)
My favourite ride was probably Splash Mountain - usually long queues (although Fast Passes are available - meaning you get a ticket to come back at a later time but avoid the queue). However, it has a Single Rider line which means if you are on your own (or your group is willing to split up) you will probably only be waiting a few minutes (because there is often 1 sit left in the little boat you are in).
The current parade is "Soundsational" - each day at 4:00pm and 6:30pm, and it was really enjoyable.
I didn't stay at a Disneyland hotel, but most of the hotels in Anaheim are directly across the road so an easy walk. I stayed at the Fairfield Inn by Marriott. Much nicer than I was expecting and I would definitely consider staying their again. And if you are there like I was, to see Disneyland, you won't be spending much time in your room! It may have been because it was summer, but California Adventure Park was open from 10am - 10pm and Disneyland was open from 8am - midnight. (The benefit of staying in a nearby hotel is that you can take a break during the day to have a nap or freshen up).
Overall, I loved loved loved Disneyland as I knew I would. My next Disney adventure might be to Disneyworld which is much bigger, as one of my long-term goals being to run the Disney marathon (which happens in January each year at Disneyworld). So it probably won't be for a couple of years, but loving Disney so much will certainly give me some extra motivation!
