We spent 5 days at the two Disney parks in Anaheim. The main park, Disneyland, is big enough that you are unable to see and do everything. There was always something going on (parade, show, etc) and I have so many photos, too many to share with you in this webpage..... 

Seeing Sleeping Beauty Castle for the first time was an emotional moment for me, as that is the image I have of Disneyland from my childhood.

I particularly enjoyed the fireworks over the top of it at night. They were well-coordinated, and the best fireworks I have ever seen. There were boxes, planets and even this smiley face, as well as the more standard fireworks.

Here's an email photo I sent myself from the Buzz Lightyear ride. It's the first one we did. My score is abysmal as I am no good at shoot-em-up games. I got the hang of it a bit more though after a couple more rides.

My favourite ride was the spinning cups and saucers of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, mainly because it is something I remember from childhood.

I found out that I like spinning rides, whereas they make Steve feel sick. He likes fast rollercoasters, which I found out I don't like, so after a couple of days, we were often going on different rides alone.

I finally got to meet Mickey on the last day!

The new park (Disney's California Adventure) has a different feel to it - more modern and not like the fairytale feeling of Disneyland.

I found Disneyland to be quite well-done, linking everything to one theme and keeping the quality of the experience high. The "cast members" were very friendly, and I found that refreshing after visiting Knott's Berry Farm, where the employees were much more casual.
