DISNEYLAND! and California Adventure Park

DISNEYLAND DAY 1 :)
I still remember a year ago, I woke up at around 6:30am cause I was so excited to go to Disneyland. Everyone got dressed before 9 o’ clock cause Uncle L from San Diego came over with his 7-year-old daughter. Apparently, mum hasn’t seen him in 20+ years, so it was like a little reunion.
First impression of Uncle L : :|
When I first heard his voice, I thought it was so American. Being in America is like being in movie :O ! His daughter was so shy, and I thought I was pedo-looking =.=.  We all grabbed our bags and walked out of the hotel. Turns out that Kira wasn’t that shy and Uncle L was a really awesome person.
We had breakfast at a restaurant called 'IHOP'. I couldnt finish my pancakes :(
Before entering Disneyland, We had to walk through some gates with cards that allowed to go in. So many trees ! We had our photo taken, by some Disneyland worker :D . Good service, Disneyland. I like it, so far.
We were given a map and we went all over the place. Haha ! Disneyland was big too ! I talked to Kira for a little bit and her American accent was quite American. Apparently, I have a sexy accent ;) ;D Honestly, whilst in America I think I had more of an American Accent cause everyone else was American.
Walking to Disneyland !
Walked through the Disney Land Castle !
Disneyland flowers ! :D
On a boat, we saw a mini-sculpture of the palace in Aladdin !
'It's a Small World' Disney Show !
Princess Ariel, Jasmine and Belle ! They looked so realistic, scared the crap outta me. Posing for 12 hours, eh ? I guess, beauty is pain.
We went on some scary, fun, awesome rides. It was great ! Uncle L talked to us about America’s economy, family and marriage. He planned to come to Disneyland with us for 2 days but aunty Linhnhi was sick. My family went on rides Kira wanted to go on because they only were only there for a day, and we had another 2 days.
Jazz band behind us, playing music
For lunch, we had some bread, salad and lasagne in a Disney-themed restaurant. Kira was so well-behaved and I was complaining at so many things, haha ! We had lunch for about 30mins and there was a jazz band playing some classy music. 
Toy Story, Buzz Light Year game ride !
For the rest of the day, we still went on some rides. My feet were so exhausting. There was this one ride where everyone sat in a floatie boat. And it takes you down into a river, so water splashes everywhere ! I had to change my shorts. 
Pirates of the Caribbean was on a boat. It was more of a sight-seeing ride where you could see pirates, skulls, ships and music.
 
I met Captain Jack Sparrow ! :D
 California Adventure Park !
Around 5pm, we walked around California Adventure Park for dinner and we had some Japanese food. Rice and meat.
Food and Fortune Cookie !
When darkness arrived, we all ran to the Disneyland Castle where there was a performance that included Peter Pan, Tinkerbell and other Disney characters with fireworks. 
Disney Castle Perfomance !
After the fireworks, we had to walk back to our hotel which was a pain. It was so sad to say goodbye because I wouldn’t see my uncle and Kira for a while. We were planning to see him and Kira in San diego :)
Took so many photos on that day !
DISNEYLAND DAY 2
We were able to go on some more rides. We went on the Indiana Jones Ride. It was so bumpy yet scary. The ride was the car from the 4th Indiana Jones movie.

My family went on a boat cruise to see some safari animals and wildlife.
 
 Angry Gorillas!

 
Tigger from Winnie the Pooh !

 BUAHAHAHA ! I saw this guy walking with a Yoda backpack ! It costs $50, I think :(

i saw Woody & Jessy !

We walked back to the hotel at an earlier time because we saw the fireworks the other day. We heard fireworks from our hotel, but our window view was opposite the fireworks.
DISNEYLAND DAY 3 / RODEO DRIVE

Last and final day at Disneyland :(. Aunty KD from San Diego was planning to take us to Hollywood but she said it was boring because she’s been there before.


Pretty Keychains - $30

We went to Rodeo Drive instead because apparently it has a huge shopping market ! It's literally a couple of streets that have huge stores: GAP, Banana Republic and more. Mum and Aunty KD bought so many clothes, I was quite upset because I didn’t really like shopping.
We were at Rodeo Drive for about 3 hours, the she drove us to Disney Land and California Adventure Park. Since, everyone went on the rides they wanted to, we went on some other rides.

As we entered California Adventure Park, there was a cartoon display :)
My family went on a Ferris wheel. There was one that tilted and would shake back and forth, but mum didn;t want to go on that one because she didnt want to get sick.

Ferris wheel !

 View outside the Ferris wheel !

There was a ride at the Park, called California Screamin'. :O it was so awesome ! It went so fast and it went in loops. Mum got a bit sick after that, HAHAHA ! (Y) I saw some Japanese Dance students infront of me when we were queuing.

Space Mountain was awesome ! It was like ‘Whooosh !’ We had to line up for an hour because the line was soooo long. You basically sit in the rollercoaster and it goes extremely fast in the dark. It would turn left, then right, then up and down. It was cool because you couldn’t see anything.

The shops at Disney Land were so expensive ! I bought some Mickey Mits for $20 because I wanted to save some money for the rest of the trip :)

When it was dark, I snapped an awesome picture of the Disneyland sign !
 Disneyland sign !

It was so sad leaving Disneyland because it was our day there ! :( At night, my family went down to the lobby, to the swimming pool area. The area was big, and there was a bar/liquor store around the swimming pool. Mum and I were sitting at the tables near the the liquor store and she was a drinking beer with 8.0-something alcohol level. Just the two of us, with noone else around us.

Mum got a bit drunk and started saying some retarded/funny things. She made me laugh my head off. She was definitely more daring, when she was drunk. She wasn't drunk, she just looked drunk. 

There was a funny time, where she walked into the bar and the bartender asked her "Are you drunk?" and my mum gave him a dirty-look and said "No". HAHAH, she is so cool

I actually thought mum was drunk, but she denied it so many times. She tried to prove it and I litereally laughed my head off, looking some retarded Asian. Mum said, "I'll walk in a straight line near the edge of the pool". She was following the line of the tiles, on the ground. HAHAHAHAHHA ! Love you mum =D

After mum, wasn't drunk, The rest of the family came to sit near the fireplace. They have two fireplaces, OUTDOORS. And it looked so beautiful.

Flames of the fireplace ! You can see the swimming pool in the background.

Fiery Flames !

It was so beautiful !
