For all those who are thinking of jumping on a plane and visiting southern california and Disneyland today, can I suggest you do not make the 13 hour plane journey, and wait a few days. The rain is horrible, and many rides are not running.

This is the Crystal Cathederal last night…

I visited the Californian Adventure today, and went on Souring over California once more. They have this water mist coming out from under a jet engine outside the ride, and it was so humid the mist was just staying in the air.

The first ride I went on today was The Tower of Terror in the ‘Hollywood’ area.


The premise of this ride is that you are in a lift in a haunted building – The full name of the ride is the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. I was in the first group to ride in this ride today which was sort of cute. I went back a second time, and was going to go a third time, but the ride was closed with the weather.

The following streetsign is in the Hollywood part of the park. As far as I knew Hollywood and Sunset were actually paralell roads. Mostly that is. 6300 Hollywood Blvd is the famous ‘Hollywood and Vine’ intersection. I am not sure what is at 8700 Sunset, but it is a few miles west of Hollywood central business district.

After that I went on Soaring over california again. Not as much fun as the first time but still amazing…

Then Grizzly River again…

Actually I went on it twice… One of these times there was a woman on the ride from Melbourne who got totally drenched… Poor thing… She was sopping wet… I was glad it was not me…

And hey, look… This is me with Minnie Mouse…


About this time it started raining… No, really pouring… And I decided to escape, at least for a little while…


Oh, I almost forgot. Disney today deddicated their 2005 ‘Disney Legends’ who have done special things in the Disney world. This year they had the ceremony (which I some of) in Disneyland rather than DisneyWorld because of the 50th anniversary of the park…
