Discoveryland

Our first venture into Discoveryland was accidental, and fortunate. On our first afternoon in Disneyland we were speaking to a couple who had some fast-passes to the 'Buzz Lightyear' ride. They were heading back to their hotel and kindly gave us the passes to use. We had no idea what the ride was like.  The allocated time was after dinner. and we gratefully accepted them without knowing what this ride was. After dinner, and our first Buzz Lightyear ride, we were hooked and we came back again and again.

Part of the hotel deal, was vouchers to have breakfast in the Park before general opening times. We thought we would get to meet some of the characters at our table, but we were wrong (must be that German to English translation again!) 

The restuarant was Bella Notte Pizzaria, from The Lady and the Tramp. Breeakfast was croissants and cereal, (not pizza).  Just around the corner from the restaurant was Discovery Land, so we were able to have our first ride of the day on the Buzz Lightyear ride without waiting too long! 

 

Phil trekked off to Space Mountain (minimum height was 132cm). The boys and I went to the Orbitron, similar to the Dumbo the Elephant ride, but in rocket ships. The boys could control going up and down. Cameron loved to go up high, and then drop down quickly. 

We watched the "Honey I shrunk the kids", 3D movie. Alexaner didn't like this very much.  

Next was the Star Wars virtual flight similator, where we took a spaceship to Endor.  Cameron didn't look tot keen throughout the ride, but he told us later that he really liked it. He looked quite scared throughout the ride.

Then it was back to more Buzz rides and Big Thunder rides.
