June 20th
Melbourne to L.A
With an 9:50am departure time, and a 16 hour flight ahead, a delay in our flight was not a good start. 2 hours later we were off on our Qantas A380. I have to say this was a painful flight. Having flown on other A380's from Singapore airlines, Qantas is far behind in everything. There was light at the end of the tunnel though, Disneyland!!!!. Nothing was going to stop our excitement.June 20th to 2nd of July

Melbourne to L.A
We landed at about 8am, Saturday, same day we left. Us Aussies are in the future while Americans are in the past. It was good to not miss a day from flying.
Shuttle to Paradise Pier Hotel
We used Karmal Shuttle service. They were prompt on picking us up and the driver was awesome. It was a private shuttle so it was straight to paradise pier hotel with no picking up anyone else.
We had arrived at about 11am, and i was aware that our room probably would not be ready until 3. So we went through the check in process, got our badges, and 10 day parkhopper tickets and room keys, when to our surprise the room was ready to go.
AWESOME.
After a quick freshen up we headed out to downtown disney and looked around. Straight to build a bear where my daughter started making her my little pony creation.
The jet lag was setting in, and coming from winter in melbourne to summer in Disney we were drained. We had an early start the next day so off to the room to relax and get an early night ready for the day.
to be cont..............
