Halloween at Disneyland With Our Friends!!!!

A couple days ago, we enjoyed Disneyland with our friends for the Halloween celebration.

We received Fastpasses to Ghost Galaxy and rode the Haunted Mansion Holiday. It was one of my friend’s first times, but she liked it. Even though there was a fifty minute wait, it was worth it. First, we ventured into the Stretchy Room. It is an elevator that leads underground. On the ride, we saw dancing ghosts wearing Christmas hats. Additionally, we saw some singing flowers.

After that, we headed over to Small World. Our friends came out to meet us.

While they were talking, we skipped over to the to Clarabelle’s hand-scooped ice cream shop in California Adventure. You can get one big scoop for $4.99. Also you can get two big scoops for $5.49. It comes with a waffle cone or cup for no charge. As we were eating our ice cream, we met our friends.

After that, we rode California Screamin’. To our surprise, we got to ride it two times because the line was short.

Next, we rode Toy Story Mania. It feels like you are in a 3-d video game arcade. I earned a bird. It is the 3rd level.

Next, we rode the Golden Zephyr. I took a video, but it didn’t turn out good because it was dark.

After that, we rode Jumping Jellyfish where you go up and down like Tower of Terror. It is slower and smaller, though. Last of all, we rode Ghost Galaxy and walked to the car. What is Ghost Galaxy? Click this link to read my previous post about it.

We had such a great day!!!!!!!!

Halloween at Disneyland!!!

Published on October 3, 2016October 3, 2016 by Kate1 Comment

We adventured to Disneyland a couple days ago for the Halloween celebration!

First, we rode Ghost Galaxy in Tomorrowland.

It was only a 20 minute wait and very different from Hyperspace Mountain. In Hyperspace Mountain, there are ships in a battle, but in this there is a ghoul attacking you.

Next, we hopped onto the 15 minute line of Star Tours. We experienced the Hoth battle in a 4-D ride. An AT-AT almost smashed our ship, and we fell down a cliff. After that, we met some friends in Frontierland.

We zoomed over to the Haunted Mansion and received Fastpasses.Then, we rode Indiana Jones Adventure. I got the steering wheel. (Too bad for me because I’m not a good driver. The wheel is fake, though.) I have to say the Indiana Jones line is great. There’s so much scenery like the cave and the poles that make noise. The ride is super fun.

After that, we rode the Haunted Mansion Holiday featuring The Nightmare Before Christmas story. They only change it for Halloween and Christmas. There were ghosts dancing at a party, and it smelled like ginger bread. We also saw a lady’s head in a ball talking.

For a snack, we glided to Ghirardelli in California Adventure. I received a vanilla milkshake with whipped cream and a cherry. It was very rich and creamy. Excitedly, we whooshed to the Annual Passholders’ lounge. We met Meeko from the movie, Pocahontas. Finally, we rode Monster Inc. There was no line except for one family in front of us. We staggered to our car and drove home. We had such a fun time!

We visited the Newport police station with some of our homeschool friends. The first stop was the conference room. Then we met the chief police.

He does not go after the bad guys. He does work and is the boss of the officers. He told all about his job including his many meetings. Next we went to the meeting room. There was a presentation going on inside the room. We did not stay in that long. Next, we went to the firing target room. After that, we went to the visitor room. If their was someone in jail a relative could talk to them behind a glass window. From there, we went to the Juvy holding room.

Thank you for your service, police officers! I appreciate you for keeping us safe.

Kids would go in there if they did something wrong. They wouldn’t get to leave until their parents picked them up.

We also went inside a jail cell with only a drinking fountain and a toilet.

The jail was only holding one prisoner. We met an officer and he talked about his taser. It locks the criminals’ bones for five seconds. Next we went to the 911 room. After that we took some pictures and our field trip was over.
