Well, it's been 12 long years but I finally made it back to Disneyland. And, it sure brought back some memories. I always hear about friends and family going to Disneyland like every other month or every weekend and I tell myself, dang, wouldn't that get a little old? But, I guess not. As for me, when I went there back in 2000, or 1999, they were still building the California Adventure and the whole upscale of the park was just beginning. I drove there with my friend and to be honest, it didn't take all that long to get up there. I left my place around 7:10 and got there with time to spare like a quarter to eight. We had the whole day ahead of us!

Naturally, the first ride I got on when I got there was Star Tours. That ride has always been my all-time favorite. Mind you, this was a whole new version where you have to put 3D glasses on. To be honest, it was probably the shortest ride I've ever been on. I swear, the original ride was at least a few minutes longer from what I remember. But, instead of that really annoying robot piloting the ship, C-3P0 takes us on the journey...albeit by accident. Anyway, after going on that ride we then split to get some food. We were starving and it was only 10am! So, we practually still had the rest of the day to spare. Meeting up with her cousin and friends, we then headed onto some more rides and man it was starting to get hot. The second ride we went on, were the rockets. And that was short as well! Man! It's like you wait in a line for 20 minutes only to enjoy what is practically a minute and a half ride. But anyway, it was still fun.

I actually did feel like a kid again. I know that sounds really cliche but it's true! And from what I remember, the park seemed really small. I guess that is due to the fact that I grew since then and what I imagined during all the time since I got there was that it was this big park, but not so big afterall in the end.

To be honest, I ate a shitload! By the end of the night I was so stuffed all I could think about doing was go to the hotel and get some sleep. I had a burger; fries; two slices of pizza; a salad (which was horrible by the way); two frozen lemonades and a churro. Man, was I stuffed by the end of the day. But, I figured what the hell I probably won't go there for a while so might as well splurge. So, yeah that was the trip.

As for the other rides I went on, they included, Mr. Toad, Indiana Jones (which was closed for a minute because there was a problem with the sound system); It's a Small World (my friend insisted); and that wacky rail road ride. Oh, can't forget Autopia and last but not least, Space Mountain! I had a pretty fun time and next time I go, I do plan on going on Splash Mountain. Ugh, can't believe I missed that ride!
