Disneyland

On Saturday, we headed down to California for a few days at Disneyland. We've been taking the kids down an average of once a year since they were little. After a stop at my parent's house, we arrived at the resort on Sunday morning. Disneyland was still celebrating its 50th Anniversary.

The castle was decorated for the anniversary, and many attractions had golden ride vehicles out front for photo opportunities. There was also a special film showing in the Lincoln theater on the history of Disneyland featuring Steve Martin.  

A couple of new things have been added since we visited last in 2004. We enjoyed the new Buzz Lightyear ride and the refurbished Space Mountain in Tomorrowland. We liked Disneyland’s version of Buzz better than WDW’s; the guns are on tethers rather mounted to the vehicle and it has different shaped targets worth different points.

Space Mountain is much smoother than before.
