Early start and we met in foyer at 8:00am and then got on bus and arrived at Disneyland at about 9:00am. Crowds were chaotic. We’d been to LA Disney before but numbers there were way down compared to here.
Long queues for rides made kids a little restless buy hey – its Disneyland… Noah and I went with Johnno, Jack and Zac and their parents for rides on Space Mountain and Splash Mountains and a couple of others in the morning, then had lunch and then we lined up to Thunder Mountain – rollercoaster ride on top of a pretend train going round mountain bends and collapsing caves.
Funny highlight was when ride started and nearing completion the carriage suddenly stopped for what seemed to be too long… Then announcement came over the PA in Japanese so we suspected something was wrong. Ride had broken down inside a pretend collapsing mountain. We had to wait for ride attendants to come and release the safety bar and walk us out of the cave through some hidden section in cave. They gave us a priority fast pass for another ride so it worked out ok. Things do break down in Japan…
By the meeting time of 9:00pm everyone is just about dead on their feet.
Long but fun day. Most kids went to sleep on the bus on the way back to hotel.
