Travel to Disney Land today was sure exciting, we used four different subway trains to land over there. The last train had the cutest windows, they were Mickey Mouse ears! The train was adorned with bronze statues of the Disney characters, and the hand straps also joined in the theming.
We paused for the entrance photo, although someone managed to put in a seductive pose, not sure what was going on there!
Actually it was hilarious, even the youngsters lunch time meal had carrot and watermelon cut Mickey mouse ears. There was also the wafting aroma of Mickey Mouse waffles.

As with any commercialised venture, there was a stack of Disney branded items for sale. The child got lost in the possibility of spending all travel money on Day 2 to buy up all the little stuffed things she could find. Thankfully Mummy had the foresight to but a limit on the number you could buy, and also the size given we are travelling a long way from home. Some blue stitch thing was selected and then randomly appeared in photos for the balance of the day.
I am not sure if the traffic through the amusement park was normal for a Saturday, but it was surely not what I expected. We hardly had to queue for any rides or food, which meant that there were ample rides to be taken. The youngster finally achieved her dream of a roller coaster ride, actually multiple times. At the end of the ride, I swear she would have broken a track record to run back and announce how excited she was.
After rollercoasters, she also managed to survive some horrid looking ride the spanned into the sky at great speeds. Many thanks to Aunty Helen for her dedication to attending to every ride request.
We did climb up through Tarzan's tree house, after a short ride down the river on a raft. I jumped on the carosel for a spin and almost begged the horses to stop moving. As we took a spin on the train around the outside of the park, I spotted the famous tea cups that had been etched in my childhood memory, and the best part, it was stationary! In reflecting on the day, the youngster feels that I must have had a sense of abandonment at being left alone and away from the fun of screaming your head off. Yep those solo moments with a quiet coke zero were terrible. I also managed to find a popcorn place, and I did pass on the curry popocorn option, instead giving the chocolate version a go.
Determined to make the most of my holiday, and perhaps bring home a little trinket for myself, I gave this a good.....

It was also lovely to hang out with the youngster, with no worries about school, work, chores or any other normal life drama. It was random moments of being able to see how big she has actually grown, and how her own little sense of humour is developing. This stunt actually made me chuckle out loud. The look on her face was hilarious, especially when glancing over at Aunty Helen who was posing quite respectively for the photo.
The fitbit announced on the way out of the park that I had hit my step target for the day, and judging by the feel or lack of feeling in my feet at the moment, it feels like I walked a long way.
