Wednesday 13th January

We were up and out ready to go to Disneyland today. The so called complementary 'Continental' breakfasts provided by the hotels seem to be diminishing in quality!! The highlight of this morning's breakfast was donuts - chocolate coated, sugar glazed and brown sugar crumble coated!! The biggest redeeming factor of the breakfasts has been good coffee!
We arrived at Disneyland before the official opening time of 10:00 am. We started with California adventure park.

Amelia was equiped by her indulgent parents (before her indulgent grandparents) with her choice of mouse ears. Her good taste was evident with the choice of as much bling as possible.


Amelia has discovered a love of carousels since going to see Mary Poppins. She rode this one 4 times.
Amelia was quite over-awed by the various Disney characters and couldn't seem to fathom these people that seemed like real people but didn't really look like them. The fact that they didn't speak didn't help either.


Another ride on the carousel - this time with Grandpa.


Amelia has also fallen in love with ferris wheels. This one had stationery cages and also cages that were on runners that rolled & swung around. Joe and Jess opted for the stationery one!



I chickened out as I have no head for heights or things that swing about in the air!



Amelia wasn't too sure about Minnie!!


But found Pluto a little more acceptable.



We went across to Disneyland around dinner time, did the train ride around the whole complex and then waited for the parades. This is the Fantasyland castle at night.




Miss Piggy and Kermit


Donald and Daisie


At the end they blew Mickey shaped confetti in the air.


Within 2 minutes of the parade finishing the confetti had been swept and vacuumed up. I need some of those Disney people at my house!!
