Day 44 - May 6 Anaheim, Ca - Day 4 - Disneyland

Today was mouse day. Well mouse, duck, dog, etc... 

Time to get up

The RV park where we are staying has a stop off point for the local shuttle. For a few dollars they will come by ever 25 mins or so. The nice thing is this park is the first pick up and first drop off point. So, we knew we would have a seat going and not much of a ride coming home.

Disneyland was as expected and a bit disappointing I suppose. For the most part the line were long, though I suppose the length is relative. Probably longer mid summer, shorter when it snows...

waiting....

The iconic It's A Small World and Pirates of the Caribbean, Alice in Wonderland were closed for repairs. I suppose getting ready for the summer season. Some of the larger ride, Space Mountain, Thunder Mt Railroad apparently broke down mid afternoon. We talked to one fella who had raced  to get the quick pass tickets only to have the majority of rides (3-4 or so) having close/broken by the time they were to ride.
The wait to see the movie "Frozen" characters was 5 hours at opening time and had shortened down to 4 hours by the time we got there about 10:30 or so. Needless to say we skipped it.
All in all leads one to ask "Is this any way to run a railroad?" Guess so, they have been doing it for a long time and do not seem to be suffering for lack of attendance..
Bottom line for visitors: Be strong, be patient, be strong.
We did however have a great time. Did not get to see all we wanted, but enough for this trip. I'm sure we will get to one of the D's again some day.
