Day 5 – Anaheim, California – 2nd March 2016

P.S. For the 4th:
Didn’t get home until 9.30. We left the hotel about 5 and headed for the Angels Stadium. (Lots of munzees there) It is a very large place, and car parking for the zillions, lol, we drove around and around and around. Concrete blocks and fencing separated out different parking areas and it got darker and darker until it was full night and we were still cruising the car parks. There was only one with vehicles in so it was easy as I didn’t have to stress about where to stop and park when we got to a new area of virtuals. From there we drove off to another couple of smaller virtual gardens and Maria finally got the 2 munzee badges she was chasing!

Okay, now back to today. Woke late again, and after some fiddling around we left 9.30 to go and visit Elliot, the local munzee reseller. He also sells coins and stamps and such stuff, very interesting shop. Did a little buying and then we capped the munzees around the shop and headed back to the hotel. Actually managed lunch at 12, and then we walked over to Disneyland again but this time to do tourist stuff! First off Pirates of the Caribbean, then on to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad which was a roller coaster, but only a small one, lol. From there it was the Haunted Mansion and then Splash Mountain with it’s 50 ft drop and lots and lots of water! We came out dripping, LOL. We headed over to Tomorrowland, but there was a 65 minute wait for the ride there, so we gave it a miss and did the submarine Finding Nemo ride, it was very well done, but then they all are well done. But we must have spent about 3 hours in queues for about 20 minutes of rides! We found a seat and waited for the Paint the Night evening parade. Wow, lots and lots of coloured lights on floats and dancers. That was followed by Disneyland Forever Fireworks Spectacular which included the projection of images and lights onto the Castle.  BTW the fireworks can be seen and heard every night all around this area, we even saw them last night when driving around after the virtual munzees. No good having a nervous dog in these environs. LOL. Another amazing feat of entertainment. However getting out was a feat in itself with thousands of people all exiting out of one area!! Walked home and had a very late dinner! Now 10.30 in the evening, so finishing this off with a few photos and bed!
