My visit to Disneyland California!
I didn’t take that many photos during my recent visit to Disneyland California. As I bought only a 1-day pass, time was of an essence as my friend and I rushed to complete as many of the rides that we targeted as we could, before our bus came to pick up us in the evening.
There’s mini lake in Disneyland where a pirate ship (from “Pirates of the Caribbean”) and a Mississippi-styled paddlewheel ferry would take turns plying. The paddlewheel ferry also acts a stage for song and dance performances by the “cast” of Disney’s latest animated movie, “The Princess and the Frog”.
This was my first time seeing real live reindeer! We don’t have these northern deer in our Singapore Zoo. According to the staff, the 8-9 reindeer they have are there are still undergoing training to pull Santa’s sleigh, LOL! Too bad no one’s allowed to pet these deer!
Yup, that’s the iconic Disneyland castle that visitors love to take photos of! The sky was also getting cloudy when I took this photo during noon. Fortunately it didn’t rain and we managed to complete all the rides that we targeted for the day!
This is how the same Disneyland castle looks like at night! It actually turns into other shades of colors like green and pink. There were also song performances in front of the castle, but I couldn’t see the singers due to the sheer numbers of the evening crowd in the way.
Doesn’t this photo remind you of Orchard Road during Christmas time, when Orchard Road gets sealed off to allow people onto the road itself? It’s actually the main street of Disneyland where most of the gift shops are located.
The gift and toy shops at Disneyland had many Disney and even Star Wars toys, but they were mostly of little interest to me. The most popular souvenir items had to be the plastic drinking cups with the figures of popular Disney characters on the covers, and the Mickey Mouse headbands and caps.
Overall, Disneyland California is definitely a fun place to visit, both for visitors who are there with or without young children. Most people drive there. For tourists without cars, there are day tour operators along the Hollywood Walk of Fame that offer to take you there from and back to your hotel. I highly recommend visiting Disneyland when you go to California. It is after all also known as “The Happiest Place on Earth”!
