So where are you going after Madera ???? “DISNEYLAND” !!!!
We followed HWY 99 as far as it went and then joined I-5 just as we were driving into Los Angeles. It was just after noon as we were driving through the city and fortunately found the traffic to be pretty light.

So where are you going after Madera ???? “DISNEYLAND” !!!!
We followed HWY 99 as far as it went and then joined I-5 just as we were driving into Los Angeles. It was just after noon as we were driving through the city and fortunately found the traffic to be pretty light.
The rest of the way to Anaheim and our campground were just the same. After setting-up and having lunch, we settled in for the night and getting some rest before our full day tomorrow at the park. By 8:30 the next morning we were out front and waiting for the Disney tram to pick us up. Our first morning was spent strictly in Disneyland (that is, we didn’t get over to California Adventure…). Our first ride was a quick circle around and around in the King Arthur Carrousel
to be quickly followed by a ride in a cup in the Mad Tea Party.
Now, for those who really know me know I just can’t go too long before I have to find a great cup of coffee closely followed by a “treat”, and that’s just what we did. We found the Blue Ribbon Bakery and Coffee House on Main Street USA. The rest of the morning and into the early afternoon was followed by one ride after another…like The Matterhorn Bobsleds
where you travel up and down, inside the dark mountain, on a very fast rollercoaster, Space Mountain,
which is again, a very fast rollercoaster that runs inside a dark building, Astro Orbiter, Autopia,
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, and the Sailing Ship Columbia.
The crowds were moderate, so the lines to most of the rides were small to a max of 20 minutes or less so it made the day very comfortable. The weather forecast showed that we might be in for some pretty heavy rain but, luck was with us…it held off until well after we were in bed. We did head back to the coach about 3 with thoughts of letting our feet rest before going back for more after dinner. At 6:30 the Christmas Lights Parade started and we were there early enough to find “the perfect” seat…on the HARD concrete curb. We did have a great spot to enjoy the parade
but the butt sure got numb… the rain did start, and we thought it was about ready to down-pour, so we opted to cut our first night short and head home.
