G'day...Our trip so far........
Well we are here... well got here on Sunday actually, but couldn't remember my pass word for the forum till now....flight was a tad rough in spots, sooooooo long 13 hours is longer than you imagine. I was ready to jump out at the 6 hour mark, I slept some, daughter didn't, she was quite tired I wasn't - I told her to sleep, she regretted not listening to me.
Checked in to motel and hit the parks, knew if we stayed at the motel my daughter would have snoozed all day - HUGE mistake, so packed, people everywhere, we couldn't even get close to a ride let alone jump on one, really thought we had made a huge mistake coming, thinking every day was going to be that bad. Over heard a lady comment that it was a slow day, OMG the place was packed!!!!
Saw the fireworks from top floor of motel that first night, that was great to see.
Went back in the Monday, soooo much better, could walk about, went on some rides, did some shopping, planned to go back to motel in afternoon, rest up and head back for tea, but time flew by and we never actually left till closing.
Tuesday went to Citadel for shopping, bit of a let down.
Ice hockey was beyond spectacular, totally awesome...OMG the atmosphere was so electric, was sad when the game ended, daughter went in a penguins fa pn and came out a fully fledged Ducks fan.
Wednesday was back at Disney and today did a L A Tour.
Jet lag hasn't hit yet, so hoping we have avoided that, today was the first day I could a full half share of a meal. The meals are huge, so we share, but I have been feeling nauseous each meal, so so glad to eat a full half share, finally, as i was getting quite hungry.
Have been asked many times "where are you from, what is that accent" so many ppl think England and daughter even got asked if she was from New Zealand....lol one shop assistant told us how lucky we are to be Aussies "because we have kangaroos" when we told her, we have them on out front lawn often, she asked if we played/pat them....lol..we replied "no, you do not approach them as they can seriously harm/kill you". She was horrified, poor girl, think we ruined her vision/idea of cute cuddly kangaroos...lol
So glad I never hired a car, the traffic is insane, we enjoy dawdling up to the parks and back.
Got a pic of the castle all lit up from the back, it was partly covered with that hessian tarp, but you could still make out the lighting of the top half at night, so glad I got that one, it now has a painted white tarp surrounding it.
Sorry this is so long, got a bit carried away, We still have a week to go, not looking forward to the plane ride home, dreading that.
Have a few tours planned for the rest of our stay, plus a few more Disney days, have yet to see Fantasmic, So hoping to see that soon. Cheers
lol no, really man.....
