Saturday was Day 2 at Disneyland.
We packed up our stuff and checked out of the hotel. The porters come and get our bags and we could have them in storage whilst we were in the park. The bus takes you to the park.
Sonali mustn't have had much sleep, because she was intermittently difficult during the day.
The big highlight for the girls was having their photos with the princesses - of which the park took some and we did (and our photos were the only ones where Sonali was attempting to smile). Olivia was very outgoing and had a good morning (behaviour went downhill in the afternoon), and enjoyed herself.
We went to the fantasy gardens, but apart from Marie the kitten, sonali screamed at Pooh, Goofy, Pluto, Mickey Mouse - basically every character that looked at her. The landscaping was impressive and Olivia had photos with all the characters that were there.
We also did tomorrowland, which was fun enough - a couple of rides and we poked around the shops. But it was the smallest of the lands, so not much to write about. When you see all the pictures, they will tell you the most.
We went back to Main Street and poked around all the shops and bought stuff for the girls, and a souvenir for the kids in the congregation (Jovia's idea, not mine) and stuff for Whitney, as per her request.
I felt like Mickey had personally come over and sodomised me, by the time we'd finished shopping. Thank goodness for the VISA debit and a favourable exhange rate.
XD Why did you feel like Mickey had sodomised you? was he getting a bit handsy with his not so kid friendly hugs? :P

Love you guys and miss you!
I've always thought of Disneyland as tacky and over-expensive... You seem to confirm that.
ReplyDeleteWill be good to hear what proper HK is like. Have fun.
Sounds like a lot of fun. Try the "Chicken" "Beef" and "Pork". Squeek, Woof, MEOW... AH SO!!!! That's all the stereotypical cliche's I can think of at the moment. Hope you really enjoy yourselves. You are brave for taking 3 kids on holiday. I'm moody enough by myself. Drink in as much of the atmosphere as you can. You'll miss it when you come back to anti-Cultural OZTRAYLEEYA.
ReplyDeleteI love it here, but we have lots to be thankful for in Australia. Really do - for all its nanny-state ways, what you see in chinese people in Australia is much the same as they are here, so I would venture to apply the same yardstick for most nationalities.
