Fantasyland

The first place to visit in Disneyland with kids of 6 and 7 is Fantasyland. All of the Disney classics are represented here: Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Snow White etc. 

















It is also where the rides are not so 'thrilling' so a good "land" to start. There were big crowds, and we had to endure long queues (45-60 minutes), but that's Disneyland! The boys were really patient. Pinocchio and Snow White rides seemed confused in their stories, and they were really a bit baffling. Peter Pan was great, everyone's favourite so far- but the biggest queues. 
 
We did the Alice in Wonderland maze (good fun), 'It's a small world' (someone's idea of torture to have Munchkins singing the same thing over and over whilst you are stuck in a boat) and Nicole and the boys did the Tea Cups. Phil is not a big fan of rides that just go around and around. The boys liked the 'Dumbo the flying elephant' ride.

We had dinner in the park at a buffet-style restaurant, very good quality but Disney prices.  The continued our experience until about 8.00. After this, we walked back to the hotel (about 1.5km), checked in, and collapsed into bed!

Hee, hee, we did the It's A Small World ride in Disneyland at Anaheim, CA while we there during the summer hols this year. I still don't think DH and DS have quite forgiven me for subjecting them to that torture - lol!
