We started out with California Adventure since last time we went, we started with Disneyland so we figured start the other way around. Not only that but I figured that most people come for Disneyland and California Adventure second and that was right.
I was tweeting throughout the day with pictures as such was Mike (@tp_innovations)
Day started out with me driving out to San Diego which with traffic, turned out to be about 2.5 hours of driving. Then driving immediarely back to Anaheim with no traffic which was about 1.5 hours. So, after 4 hours of driving, we started at Cali Adventure around 11 am.
We srated out with the Tower of Terror. Line on it wasn't terrible. I'd say around half hour. Good thing we were in the shade as the day turned out to be mid 80's in warmth.
Just rode it. I liked it! pic.twitter.com/SfFKzbv4x4
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 17, 2014I like the elevator ride. It has some drops and lifts and the story is descent. Not really much you can do with an elevator ride but Disney did a fine job in the themeing and the storline.
After this we moved on to Car's Land where we took a spin on Tow Mater? Pics below...
This is the name of that ride. pic.twitter.com/A8r6HLlMU4
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 19, 2014We ride this and it was a lot of fun! pic.twitter.com/XEcWt4rCS8
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 19, 2014After this we moved over to the town of Radiator Springs and took a ride on the racing ride. I have to admit, I was pleasently surprised by it. It was very fun! Although, there isn't much to take pictures of when in queue. Meaning you can't really photograph the cars going on the track but we did take some pics of the queue items and some of them were quite interesting. You be the judge below...

— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 19, 2014After this we took of to the California Screaming roller coaster and the wait time on it was about 2 minutes. Seriously, it was basically walkon and with the speed and efficiency the Disney staff works at, the loading/unloading was of around 24 seconds. So they got people in and out of there super fast which is why there was no line! We took 2 rides on it. It is a very good roller coaster! Sadly, I didn't take pictures of it, but we do have an onride video that was filmed abd edited by a site member a couple years ago. I will embed it below. wait, just found a pic of the Ferrish Wheel which you can see California Screamin in the back:

— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 19, 2014After this, we decided to skip the mouse coaster in consideration of my back problems. Mike stated that would definitely give me problems. So with that in mind, we skipped the rest and went straight on over to Disneyland. The first thing we did was grab something to eat. So we ate and then carried on. The first thing we did there I think was Pirates of the Caribbean:
Aaarrrrrrrr!!! pic.twitter.com/0pqw1xVlMA
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 17, 2014For some reason, something looked different to me. As if something was added but at the same time, some stuff was missing as well. I couldn't put my finger quite what that was so I was kinda bugged with that in my mind for a couple of hours. After Pirates we went to the Jungle Cruise and Indiana Jones but the lines were ridiculously long so we skipped them for now. We headed over towards the Haunted House and its a good attraction. Line was quick moving with about a 20 minute wait. There isn't much to take pictures of since its just a white house on the outside and inside well, I was busy oaying attention for once xD So here's some pics of the tombstones on the outside of it

— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 19, 2014After that we went to... I can't remember what we did next
![[lol]](https://www.coastercrazy.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_e_ugeek.gif "test"){kind=icon}
I do remember doing Space Mountain which was a kick ass ride. For those who don't know, its a dark roller coaster. You can't see anything but white dots which represent stars and the track goes quick in there. It is a very good ride and we rode this multiple times. The queue wasn't long and since it unloading/loading was averagin less than 30 seconds per train, we this would go by quick no mater how long the queue was. I think I took a picture of the line outside...
Almost there! Have you ridden this @disneyland pic.twitter.com/ozNXoEmRTV
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 18, 2014Space Mountain did break once just before reaching the entrace. This made a lot of people leave but after hanging in there for a couple of minutes, the mechanic fixed it up and the ride was working just fine shortly.
Nooooo Space Mountain @disneyland broke down!!!
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 18, 2014Space Mountain is now fixed!!!
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 18, 2014We were going to ride Star Tours after this but the line was around 45 minutes so we decided to go across back into Adventure land and check up on Indiana Jones. It had met its match and died...

— ThemeParkInnovations (@TP_Innovations) January 18, 2014So we rode Jungle Cruise and as always, its good. Sit in the shade for a few minutes. That's always good, right? Some time later Indiana Jones magically came back to life and we got to rode it. The queue line for this is ridiculously long but it does get filled up! In the queue we did find out old office we shared with @tp_innovations...
Welcome to the office of @CoasterCrazy pic.twitter.com/zkXQU9h6Za
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 18, 2014We into the Tiki Room and never will I go in there again... It is an animatronics show of singing birds
So yeah, don't bother going in there. After that, Mike wanted to go for Aladdin's Oasis and here we go, both of us into it and it turns out it was just a large bathroom made for partners...
@tp_innovations thought this was some sort of attraction but as we went in we found it to be a just a bathroom lol pic.twitter.com/ayHVlThTGd
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 18, 2014We got out of there super quick
I didn't fall victim to the Pedobear called Mike Just kidding, it was an honest but funny mistake.
Here's a picture of the love boat ride. Lets see what taglines you can come up with this pic:

Awwwwwwwww pic.twitter.com/yO15yiFmMA
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 19, 2014One ride we highly recommend you ride is Winnie The Pooh. It is quite a trip. Super colorful and what not xD
To this is @disneyland pic.twitter.com/rTFGmQ2lbI
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 18, 2014Looks like Winnie the Poohs#39; honey was spiked... pic.twitter.com/o7KwV5nmWJ
— Coaster Crazy (@CoasterCrazy) January 18, 2014We did the Buzz Light Year ride and a bunch of others which I didn't take pictures, and if I did, they didn't come out well. We did end up doing Star Tours after the line for it came down. We had a lot of extra time. Nemo was shut down [:(] So was the train roller coaster in Frontierland. It was broken! We rode Space Mountain, Pirates etc several times. We didn't really have a plan going in and even still one day was enough time to do both parks. This was on Friday though, I think on the weekends you will not have enough time to do all of it in one day due to the number of additional people.
Disneyland is a very good theme park. There's quality all over the place. We did find some screws on California Screamin that weren't put in all the way and could take them out if you wanted to. That's about the only issue we had.
Oh yeah, before I forget, we rode Matterhorn too and it was awesome!!! We rode that 2 or 3 times I believe. uhmm I just got distracted so now I forgot what I was going to write next
So yeah, if you have any questions or comments post them below. Also, we'd appreciate it if you can retweet the pics posted. Not all, just some. Or all if you want [:D]
, I would think January to March is the best crowd wise.
