We just returned from our very 1st Disneyland trip just this past Saturday
We miss it sooooooooooo badly already. We had our 1st WDW trip last year but Disneyland
won us over compared to WDW. It was just an AWESOME AWESOME trip
When we arrived at LAX, it was quite dreary, cloudy and cool. Hubby was hoping it wouldn't stay this way. I was ok with it coming from the heat/humidity of Louisiana, it was a pleasant surprise. But..........it didn't last as far as the dreary part because we had WONDERFUL weather while there June 13th-20th. It was AWESOME
The temps in the day were in the mid to high 70's while we were there which was very pleasant and they don't have the humidity so it is much more pleasant. We had a few days obviously standing in long lines and directly in the sun as with any heat is just plain hot
but nothing like the 100's we are getting in Louisiana right now
They do go through June gloom as it was when we arrived but it ended while we were there and ended up being as I said above, LOVELY weather. We couldn't have asked for better weather. We rented a convertible on one day and drove the coast to San Diego and it was GREAT
California is just BEAUTIFUL. We preferred it over Orlando. We lived in Orlando while hubby was in the military and it was nice but nothing compares to California with scenery and Disneyland in general was just MAGICAL
It was pretty crowded on most days we were there as we didn't know about GRAD parties, etc... ahead of time when we were planning. They closed early a couple nights because of grad parties. One day Disneyland closed because it was overcrowded to capacity. That was the day we were walking like compacted sardines on top of people and lines for rides were impossible so we headed to California Adventure on that day and then heard the news that Disneyland had closed because it was too crowded. It was a busy time but we were at Disneyland having FUN
so we didn't really care a whole lot. We are already planning our return trip in 2010 to California. We've been spoiled to Disneyland now. When we returned from WDW from our 1st trip, we thought nothing can top this. That was until...........................DISNEYLAND! Have fun planning and have a great vacation!
