Tuesday 27th
May 2014.
Todays weather report; very hazy, some blue sky,
maximum temperature expected to be 30°.
After breakfast we booked tickets for the
10:30am hotel shuttle bus to Disneyland.

The trip took about 15 minutes and
when we got off the bus the heat hit us. It may have only been 30° but the
humidity must have been 80% or more.
The Fantasy Land Castle |
First stop was Fantasy Land, saw the flying
Dumbo ride but queue was about 20 minutes and standing in the sun that long was
not a good idea. We did go on the revolving teacup ride, which is one of the
iconic Disney ride.

Next was a walk through Adventure Land where we
saw Tarzan’s tree house and went on the jungle riverboat ride. The animation
was fantastic with elephants & hippos rising up out of the water and giant
cobras along the banks.

It was now time cool of in one of the many
air-conditioned restaurants and rehydrate with a cool drink and an ice-cream.
Tomorrow Land was next. Again the Queues were
long so we did not go on any rides.
Retail therapy was next and fortunately this was
air conditioned so we managed to cool off as well as spend money.
Walked up the main street and back into Fantasy
Land where we sat in the cool and had lunch.
The Disney Flights of Fantasy Parade with Dumbo,
Whiney the Poo, Mickey Mouse, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and the Loin King was
on at 3:30 so we found a reasonably shady spot to stand and what it. Managed to
get some photos, however, it was difficult as a lot of locals had umbrellas up
for shade, which got in the way.
Time to cool of again with more souvenir
shopping and a cuppa them back across to Fantasy Land to see Snow White and the
Seven Dwarves.

We were booked on the 6:10pm shuttle bus back to the hotel so it
was now time to say goodbye to Disney Land and head to the bus stop with our
two large bags of souvenirs.
Despite the heat we had a great day.
