Disneyland & California Adventure

Brought my sister to Disneyland & California Adventure last week!

I planned it for Sunday & Monday (5th & 6th Jan 2014) because the Christmas themed shows will end on Sunday, mainly the World of Colours Show which is a must watch! I am so happy we caught the Christmas edition "Frozen" World of Colours Show! Though we haven't watched the movie yet, the songs are really nice! Can't wait to catch the film!

We also went to watch Aladdin the Musical which was FANTABULOUS!!! So so so so good!!

I went with Le hubby last year so I know the layout of both parks quite well (I'm good at remembering landmarks and buildings, just not street names). I did not cover everything with Le hubby last year, just the main rides. He's not a big Disney fan but he accompanies me without complaint because he likes seeing me happy & acting like a kid in Disneyland. Hahahaha!

I didn't buy much stuff this time round too. I always say that the Disneyland that makes me spend the most money is Tokyo's. I exercise a lot of self-control in Hong Kong, Paris & California.. but when I go to Tokyo I just go crazy and buy non-stop! 

My sister is a super fun companion cos she's a Disney fan like me (duh, like sister like sister right?) and we grew up watching Disney cartoons together. We held hands walking around, well most of the time she kiapp her hand at my armpit cos she said it's warmer there. -_- #weirdsister #luckyInoBO  While walking we will sing Disney songs together, wave at Disney characters, ran to take pictures with the mascots. Happiest 2 days ever! :)

It's so nice to spend time with her alone and just do whatever we want without the worries of work or school! 

We managed to cover all the rides and shows that we wanted to do & watch even though we had to run to grab fast passes and I had to do some homework on the showtimes and rides, it's worth it cos we had a fun time at the park! Moreover it's USD210 per person for a 2 day hopper ticket so we have to get our money worth! Wahahahahhaa!

My sister said she only took 1 ride in Tokyo Disneyland when she went there a few years ago with her family. ONE RIDE! Wah lao eh... No proper planning at all! Tsk Tsk!

Anyway, 2 full days at Disneyland is really a lot to blog.. but thank God my sister did a really nice and detailed entry so you can read hers instead! Wahahahaha! 

Please head over to her blog to read about our super epic fun Disney adventure! :)

Ok lah, I post some pictures below for you to see too. ^_^

Hong Kong Disneyland

Finally the 4 of us can go on a holiday together! We've been talking about it for ages and it's finally materialized!

Wany & I went before but we went along because the guys have not visited it before. It is also Nathaniel's first Disneyland visit ever! Yay! :)

We arrived really early because we flew on Scoot. There were practically no one there except for the employees who were heading to work. I mean seriously who will be there at 7am in the morning if you are not there to work right? Hahahahaha!

Group shot (camera balanced on my luggage)

We managed to get a really nice shot without anyone photobombing us! It's really not easy because usually there are tourists everywhere trying to get a picture with the sign and you can't get a nice picture without being photobombed.

 Jump shot!

Afterwards we headed to Disneyland Hotel by taking the shuttle bus.

 

 Went to the garden for a morning walk before our breakfast!

Character breakfast at Disneyland Hotel's Enchanted Garden. 

The Disney characters will come over to take pictures with you, but we feel kinda neglected cos they give a lot of attention to the young children and kinda ignored us.. so discriminating please! We paid more than children and we are young at heart! If not why would we have paid so much for substandard breakfast food? We wanna take pictures with the mascots!

 

Even Mickey can't save the low standard of the food here.

Afterwards we deposited our luggage at the Concierge desk and headed over to Disneyland!

It's so fun to visit Disneyland with friends! 

Happiest place on Earth! YAY!

Relaxing one corner with our ice lemon tea. LOL!

Wany spotted churros!

Happy hubby with his churro!

Nat waned to buy this silly hat but I convinced him to take a pic instead. LOL!

Really tempted to buy Duffy home but I resisted the urge. I've resisted buying Duffy for so many times (twice in Tokyo, once in Paris and once in Anaheim) so this is the 5th time I am saying NO. #strongwillpower

We left before the fireworks because we took the overnight flight on Scoot here and we were so tired out by the time the sun sets. All of us are not as young and energetic as we used to be! #oldandweak
