Disneyland

It was 5 days of fun, fun, fun. I always thought we would visit this place one day but never thought it would be with four of our grandchildren. How lucky are we. It is indeed a place for young and old...it helps to be young though.It is a huge theme park ..actually two theme parks across from one another. Neither is better than the other. They each had the best of everything. Disneyland is full of beautiful gardens so is a pleasure to walk around. The weather was extremely hot...they broke a 110 year old record of a November day. The crowds were down because of the heat for the first two days so the kids had a ball going on all rides as many times as they wanted. At one stage they complained they had to queue for 15 mins. That was hilarious as in peak season some of the rides have waiting times of up to 2 hours. It was not as in your face and cheesy as I thought it would be. Quite the opposite. We never had television growing up so it was not part of my childhood...actually the park opened a year after I was born in 1955. It was a part of our children's life as every sunday night after dinner ar their grandparents they would settle in to watch Walt Disney and all his magic.
