Disneyland

Yesterday we went to Disneyland. I was totally excited and for the first time in years (since I was like 10 and under) I decided I wanted pictures with the characters :) I got a handful of them. Sadly I missed the princesses but I’m going to see if I can’t catch them on Friday when were’re going again (we got complimentary tickets).


Princess Tiana told me I had a lovely accent (used me more British one the entire day at Dinsey) and Tinkerbell asked if I was mad :P

Disneyland started out good. We went on the ‘The Pirates of Caribbean’ ride and then through the French Quarters to ‘Splash Mountain’. At Splash they had a technical problem to we stood at the gates waiting to go into the logs that carry you around the attractions for about 20 mins. We got to see the ride without music and no people on it. Creepy! So when we finally got on I had decided to film portions of the ride. Now Splash is a water-ride. Water-ride + electronics = iffy. I was in the front and I didn’t remember that first fall inside becoming so wet. Anyway, my camera ended up being soaked and shut down for the entire ride. I managed to dry it off when we got out and it started working again, thank you thank you thank you! I got really scared there for a few moments.

Another thing happened while we were at Disney. We were at California Adventure (the second theme park) on the attraction MaliBoomer when there was a 5.4 earthquake. We didn’t feel it because we were in the air on the attraction. It was just about to go up when a bell chimed and we got hissed down. After that every single attraction in the theme parks got shut down to undergo check-ups. Took a few hours before they got up and running again. Though the light show got cancelled but since they had kept handing out FastPass tickets and dad and I had gotten one each dad headed for Guest Relations when we found out all the ‘Water of Color’ shows had been stopped. It was a LONG line. We ended up with free tickets for Friday so we can see the light show (if it’s on again). So we’re spending a whole day at Disney again tomorrow complimentary of the park. :)

Aloha!

I’ve been enjoying a place called Hawai’i. I’ve been swimming, snorkeling, shopping, sightseeing. Just been having a nice time :)
We’ve been to PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center) and to Paradise Cove Luau on O’ahu. We also flew to Lana’i and to Moloka’i. Tomorrow we’re flying to the Big Island of Hawai’i and staying in Hilo for a few days. After that it’s LA baby!


PCC shows you the culture of the islands of Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, Samoa, Aotearoa (New Zeeland) and Tonga


I got a tatoo symbolising royalty in the NZ village

Mini roadtrip ;)

I’m in Waikiki,Hawai’i. I’ve just eaten breakfast and now Im waiting for the Pink Trolley to start so I can go to Alamoena Shopping Center. In the mean time I thought I’d upload the (silent) video I tried to save and upload yesterday before my program froze on me. We had a great time driving around. Got images of the Golden Gate Bridge and some clothes for Julia :)

Dad took a picture of me jumping

Going down Lombard Street

We drove all day yesterday. I got a video driving down Lombard Street for you. I had one of our roadtrip down to San Mateo and back to San Fransisco but Windows Movie Maker decided to freeze and mess up the movie I made so I have to make it again which I don’t have time for right now. Have to get ready because we’re going to the airport soon to catch our flight to Hawai’i.
