| My highly eventful Disneyland trip |
| 03.29.07 (8:47 pm) [edit] |
|
I'll try and keep this short: Drove down to Disneyland on Monday, got an early start, did not get lost, made great time. We stayed at the hotel I have stayed at many many times a child (under a new, recognizable brand name, but has the same decoration). We walked to Downtown Disney and the hotels with in-laws, window-shopped and ate at the Rainforest Cafe. It was cold and windy but we saw fireworks on walk back. Got an early start Tuesday. The ticket lady gave us two day resident passes at the same prices as one day non-resident passes. It was fun going with people who had never been before. We rode almost everything worth riding by about 6:00. We watched the parade. We ate Mexican food, mint juleps, and pineapple whips. We shopped. It rained some. It was cold and windy; canceled fireworks. Rode best shortish lined rides twice (Small World, Haunted Mansion, Pirates, and Indiana Jones). New Pirates with Pirates characters is fun (esp. the new end). Bought a birthday present for Dad, "Year of a Million Dreams" Donald, 40th Anniversary Pirates shirt (which is different than all the other pirate shits with variations on the movie logo because they're about the original ride that was cool before there was a movie), and a castle shirt. Wednesday got an early start for our surprise day in California Adventure. My car battery was dead. When we tried to jump it it would not hold a charge. When it seemed to hold a charge temporarily, nothing electrical (brake lights, turn signals, headlights) worked. Turned out I had a blown fuse. My step-father-in-law drove all over Orange County looking for a fuse. I was very sad and depressed. After going to 4 stores, finally found a fuse. Three hours later, we were on the way to California Adventure. Rode almost everything worth riding. Got a later start going home than originally planned (as one might guess). Re-jumped my car after CA Adventure "Check Engine Soon" light, no radio, but car runs/lights on. Drove through LA, did not get lost and on 101 like my parents always do. Jeremy drove 1/2 way home, I slept some. Got home at 1:00 and hamster had escaped through loose area between cage and cage top, seemingly earlier that evening. Found her surprisingly quickly (alive) at the bottom of a couch cushion. There was very faint rustling and a moving lump at the bottom of the pillow case. (Although not technically part of my Disney trip) Got an early start for work Thursday. Left 1/2 hour ahead of time. Street I needed to take to work was closed, got caught in terrible traffic, couldn't get to work, had to go way the hell around to get there, and was 5 minutes late. As it turned out, a woman (probably drunk) wrapped her car around a utility pole at about 100 mph at nearly 3 in the morning. She died an hour later in the hospital. The power situation was worsened when a truck didn't see the down lines and clipped them. Trader Joe's up the street closed all day, no power. Hopefully fixed by tomorrow. Current Mood:  hungrytrip pictures soon |
