Day 6
Another early wakeup, I did my usual morning routine. Got ready, looked outside for a bit, then made my way on over to concierge. Another filling breakfast for the day. Immediately after bottled water touched my hand I was off to Disneyland! graemlins/clappy.gif (The excitement still hadn't worn off...)
Of course, like usual, I headed straight for Indiana Jones. Rode it once and LOVED IT! It hadn't lost its wonder and I was still in awe after riding it. I quickly made my way over to Space Mountain since I hadn't ridden it as many times as I would have enjoyed since I arrived. I was hoping I would be less critical of it, but I wasn't. I still like WDW's far better - I really don't see any comparison (sorry Jane! graemlins/blush.gif ). I grabbed a FastPass for the ride anyway (I enjoy it, don't get me wrong) which was good in about a half and hour. I headed to the Matterhorn and I rode the right side and then again on the left side. I have come to the conclusion that everyone online is wrong - there is no difference between the two sides with the exception of a mirror track. :D
Since lines had a while before they picked up (and they would be smaller since it was Monday), I decided to take a drive on the Autopia without FastPass. I was lucky enough to get a different lane (so it wasn't the exact same ride as before). I still got a kick out of the off-roading section - I would ride the Speedway in WDW if it weren't so unbelievably boring! They need a revamp like California's.
After my 6.5mph race, I hit all of the Fantasyland rides. Pinocchio, Mr. Toad, Snow White, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan. All of them were delightful.
I had about 5 minutes until my FastPass was due so I made my way over to the StarTraders where the official pin trading station was located. I looked (and shopped :cool: ) around for a while and then took yet another trip on Space Mountain which already had a 30-minute wait. I found that odd since Indiana Jones only had a 25-minute wait and everything else in the park was a walk-on. Too bad for those people waiting in line, huh? ;)
I hurried my little legs over to Critter Country (which, by the way, I don't understand how it could be its own land --- there's only one attraction! Even when the Country Bears were in it there wasn't enough to do. I like Florida's "land setup" better (only since it doesn't abuse the law of "common sense" :rolleyes: )) and rode Splash Mountain via single rider's line. My fellow loggers were very fun and we all had a great time talking to each other during the trip through Brer Rabbit's laughing place. graemlins/silly.gif
