| Since today was 9/11, and, ironically enough, I was also in Orange County seven years ago today -- on 9/11/2001 -- I thought I'd post a link to the story of how I ended up at Disneyland on 9/12 and 9/13/2001. On both visits, the flags were at half staff in tribute to those who were murdered. |

In Tribute
Look to the left
Having walked from Disney's Grand Californian through Downtown Disney,
the entrance to Disneyland is on your left from the esplanade.
That's not Pluto with the guards.
A look to the right
Having walked from Disney's Grand Californian through Downtown Disney,
the entrance to Disney's California Adventure is on your right from the esplanade.

Art at the Monorail at Tomorrowland
Let's see if I can sum up the 3 hour visit to Disneyland: Entered at 5 p.m., walked down Main Street U.S.A. turned right at the Hub for Tomorrowland -- rode: Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters, Space Mountain, exited Tomorrowland and rode: Matterhorn Bobsleds, then entered Toon Town and rode: Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, off to Frontierland to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, over to New Orleans Square for Pirates of the Caribbean, in to Adventureland for Jungle Cruise and Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye, quickly back to Tomorrowland moments before park closing for Star Tours and then the Monorail ride back to Downtown Disney. (Unfortunately, we didn't get to ride Monorail Blue, the new Mark VII being tested on the rails...rode old Monorail Purple, the Mark V). Then dinner at ESPN Zone.

California Entrance
Of course, I used it as an exit (having entered by the "private" door at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel). To sum up about three hours in the park on a Twilight ticket... I rode: California Screamin', Toy Story Midway Mania, Sun Wheel, Toy Story Midway Mania (again), Soarin' Over California, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue; and Soarin' Over California (again).
