Disneyland, Universal Studios and Quebec!

On Sunday we went to Disneyland, which was REALLLY busy, even though people are still in school (I think...), so we were constantly lining up for stuff
Although, unlike Australian theme parks, the American ones were really good at getting crowds through quickly, and each ride would hold at least 8 people, and there'd be about 3 going at one time. So it wasn't too bad...
Space Mountain was epic, although the line was 45 minutes... Indiana Jones was even better, and only about 20 minutes wait. I can't actually remember what else we did because it's 530 am... but anyway
Oh yeah
because there were so many lines, we could only do each ride once before our bus left, and we didn't even get a look at California Land!
But it was still a pretty good day, pretty much fulfilling all of our expectations


Then we went to Universal Studios the next day, and MAN that was good
they had a field of snow in "Whoville" and all these Who's runing around, and they were really tall and lanky and PERFECT for the part. And everything was "Grinchmas" themed, it was crazy!
we went on the Studio Tour, which was good, they did earthquake simulations, and Jaws attacked you, and they parted the seas of waters around Skull Island (from King Kong...)
And we went on the Simpsons ride, which was a simulation one... which was a bad ride in itself, but the animation of the simulation was really good!
and then we discovered the "Lower Lot"
Which you took 4 BIIIG elevators down to get to, and it had the Mummy ride and Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park SEEMED boring at the beginning, because you're floatig around in this little boat, and then, instead of going into Stegasaurus cove, you go into the back areas, where the T-Rex's and the Utahraptors and the other carnivorous dinosarus have escaped!
and T-Rex's jkump at you from the ceiling,a nd then yougo down the water fall, which was like a 4 story drop or something and it's practically vertical!
It was CRAZY
BUT THEN
we went on the Mummy!
which was a rollercoaster inside a big warehouse type building, and they drip water on you and blast tiny bits of air at your feet, adn it feels like big fat BEETLES are crawling on you
and you go backwards and everythign!
IT WAS SO GOOD
we went on JP 4 times, and the Mummy 6 times
and the best part was
THE LINE WAS NEVER LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!


and now I am at the airport, waiting for our flight to Montreal, then Quebec, where it's been snowing up a storm, ready for our white christmas!
We got up at 3:30, left at 4, and it's now 5:53 am.
And our flight isn't til 7:30...
yay...

Thanks for reading!

  1. You are actually giving me flash backs of my times at the theme parks. My dad lured me onto te jurassic park ride by saying it was, 'nothing but a nice jungle cruise." LOL
    How good is the indiana jones ride!! Totally awesome! Did you go on splash mountain, it is the best! Space mountain is epic as well. You would've gone on the school holidays. Kids get a week off at christmas I think so that's why there were so many lines. We never had any when we were there!

    I MISS YOU!! Guess what, canada is completely covered in snow and the last time that happened was in 1971. Pretty cool! I hope your flight is safe and great!

    Love you, kelly!
