Perhaps the most successful Disneyland experience thus far, having finally learned the ropes: strategy, timing, attraction priorities.
We entered CA Adventure from the hotel side and were escorted to Carsland, presumably so that no one would get trampled upon a la Walmart's Black Friday. We actually were the second car of the day!
It felt like a pilgrimage.
Enjoyed reliving a movie space, which lures the vast majority to this ride, in contrast to the Matterhorn's appeal a generation ago, which triggered the imagination sans cinema?
Though certainly Snow White & Mickey had their TV/film analog, the submarine, Main Street, autopia, Small World, etc were non-filmic in nature.
Not sure how long the boys will be captivated by rides below, but it's charming for now.
When I was a child, Disneyland was an exhausting day's event, arriving at opening and staying late, like attending a county fair. Now, many, including ourselves, turn this into a holiday and actually stay overnight.
Have to say, the food suffers, which is the one thing that has definitely lost its charm over the years, even when the park itself continues putting out fun across a wide span of generations.
