Things have been a little crazy so we thought we would release a little steam and run off to Disneyland for a little fun...Disneyland is not the place to go to relax during summer break! :o)
This is a shot from the new park they have been working on called "Cars Town". Its a huge area modeled after the "Cars" movies! They did an amazing job! This shot was part of a roller coaster that made you feel like you were racing through the desert.
It was so busy we waited 1 1/2 hours for our first ride. This ride had a 3 hour wait! The girls talked me into waiting so we packed up some snacks and drinks and went for it! Just as we were almost there the ride broke down! We waited another hour for them to fix it but it didn't happen! The park was closed and we left with one ride under our belt!
We did have fun with each other in line tho! :) I should post the pic of the girls laying on each other asleep in line!
Seriously - a 3 hour wait and then it broke down? And then another hour, and still no ride? That sounds horrible - I am terrible at waiting, so perhaps I can never go to Disneyland. That is an impressive manmade landscape though! Glad you still had some quality "family time" while waiting.
@cromwell That's the crazy part! They offered us all a fast pass...a fast pass! Any one has access to fast passes! And the park was closed! Can you tell I'm a little bitter! :)
Oh wow, what a nightmare of a wait, and then the big disappointment. And I would agree, a big park like that, not a good place to try to find relaxation.
That's why I've only been to Disneyland once. Even at twelve years old, I couldn't justify waiting in line all day for a few rides. Anyway, the rock there looks a little like a natural feature in southern Utah called Mexican Hat. I thought you had been in my back yard!
What a story! That is an incredible photo! I viewed large. At 1st glance I thought it was a scene from Utah, lol. Awesome. I totally love roller coasters! FAV!! :)
Very cool photo! I worked at Disney many years ago. You crazy for going there on a summer day!!!!! I'm glad you and your girls had great fun together while you were waiting.
@jenniferruge Was it as fun to work there as it seems? I heard there are tunnels and streets under ground! It is crazy to go in the summer! We learned our lesson!
@orangecrush It was great fun working there. I worked there when i was in college and during my first few year teaching. Lots of good memories. My favorite time of the day was 2:30am when all the guests were gone and the park was quiet.
oh my goodness, that's quite some adventure. your spirits sounds a lot brighter than mine would have been. :-) i'm certain you got a ton of great shots though.
I thought this structure looked familiar when I first opened the page! My kids love those movies! Sounds like you had a fun day despite all the waiting around!
Wow, who would have thought that this was Disneyland. To bad you didn't get to go on the ride. I guess it's better to get all the kinks out anyway. Great shot!
@stuckinoz Crazy isn't it! I'm glad I had my camera too! I took so many random shots, I filled up my memory card! @marlboromaam Absolutely, Maggie! @timandelke Lol! :D
Oh my gosh!! That is a crazy waiting time! I am sure it was time well spent with the kids though. It is pretty amazing what they did here with the landscape. Wonderful capture!
That's too bad, but what I got from this is that you are a person that can find fun even waiting in a line and has the patience of a saint and is very good to your girls. :-)
Beautiful shot Jerry.
I can't believe this is just a set and its not real! My son would want the loo in a line that long just as we got to the front! Shame you never got to go on the ride :(
@marlboromaam Absolutely, Maggie!
@timandelke Lol! :D
but great picture!
Great shot!
Beautiful shot Jerry.
