Where else can you go to the movies, see an awesome play, eat gumbo in New Orleans, window shop in Tinsel Town (Hollywood), go clubbing, visit the past and go back to the future all in one day? Why at Disneyland Parks of course!!
Hello my beloved friends, hope all is happy and well with you all?! Lately my husband and I have been caught up with family affairs and job hunting and decided to take a day just to ourselves and wanted to go to the movies. We were suppose to just go to the theatre at the local mall, but at the last minute my husband decided it would be more fun if we went to Disneyland since we have passes and haven't gone in awhile.
All I can say is, it was really packed! We never gone on a Saturday, so I was surprised at how absolutely crowded it was; we could hardly walk to where we wanted to go without being in the middle of a huge crowd! Anyway, we went to the movies in the city walk and it wasn't so bad. The theatre wasn't so crowded and we made it just in time to see the movie start (we saw "Warm Bodies," but I don't want to talk about it and ruin the movie incase any of you readers haven't seen it yet).
After the movies, we walked down the city walk and decided to go into the park and do all the things we haven't been able to do yet. When we got into the park, OH MY GOSH was it crowded!! We decided to cut through the stores, which I of course recommended ( so I can see all the cute stuff they have naturally). We managed to make it to New Orleans and stopped at the Royal St. cafe which is located just behind the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. I managed to find us a table and sat there while my husband waited in line and bought us a bread bowl with gumbo and a side of apple fritters. He originally ordered steak gumbo, but they gave us vegetarian instead (what's that about?) but we didn't really mind since it was so crowded and it cost the same amount no matter which gumbo you ordered, so we ate it and it was still delicious (I never liked gumbo, but the flavors and ingredients were just so yummy, I wouldn't mind trying every kind they have)! After lunch, we walked around and managed to make or way to fairy tale land where we tried on hats at the mad hatter shop, then we walked a little further into tomorrow land where they had this really cute ewok beanie that I REALLY want and hope they still have if I get a job soon.
We got tired of the crowd, so we decided to walk down main street and cross over to California Adventure, which was A LOT more roomier compared to Disneyland. We were able to walk around the whole park and didn't have to worry about crowds. We went to see the Aladdin Show that was playing at the theatre in Hollywood and didn't mind waiting 20 minutes because our seats were absolutely perfect! We sat in the orchestra section and was able to see everything and the Genie really hit the nail on the head with all of his new zingers and side jokes, which really had the crowd rolling on the floor laughing. I think my favorite line was when he came out pretending to talk on the phone which was really his lamp and told the crowd to hold on because he was talking to Jerry Springer (I think the joke would of been funnier if he said Maury Povich), but he acted shocked and said "WHAT, the DNA test results are in? PAPA SMURF IS MY FATHER?!!!!" that was just one of his many funny jokes during the play. After the show, we took a hard left down Sunset Blvd and found a hidden arcade area and played to hoops (the basketball game) for awhile, which my legs were so sore afterwards; WHAT A WORK OUT! After we got tired of playing games, we walked out into the club scene, because the Mad Hatter Tea Party started which is where a live band plays current party hits, while the bars are open and they have two different dance club scenes for you to enjoy.
My husband and I aren't really party people anymore, so we decided to ditch the loud music and crazy youngsters starting to get drunk and instead took a stroll back towards the front of the park, stopping to window shop at all the old fashioned stores where they set it up to be just like you stepped into the past and are back in the 1930's- 1940's.
After visiting the past, we decided it was time to come back to reality as it was now 7:00p.m. and we were pretty tired from the day, so we headed out of the park, still stopping to see all of the shops and live entertainment down City Walk. Once we got back on the tram, into our car and headed out of the park and towards home, I turned to my husband and said, that was the BEST DATE we had in awhile! We didn't buy anything or spend a lot of money, I think the total we spent on that whole date was $30 and that was for the movie, for us to eat and for gas to get there and home. See my beloved you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a good time, all you need is an adventure and the one you love!...Until next time
