We finally did it


Wednesday, we were determined to get on the Finding Nemo ride at Disneyland. We left for the park an hour before it opened, hoping to at least not have to wait too long. All the park visitors were corralled on main street like cattle. At 10 am, the powers that be let everyone run to where ever they were going (everyone was going to nemo). I took off running with M while the gardener, B and Grandma Jackie walked. The park forces everyone running to nemo to go up and around the side of the Matterhorn in fantasy land. Once on the back side of the Matterhorn, you get to the "75 minute wait" part of the line where you have to walk behind a cast member who walks the whole line so that people aren't running through it. Pretty smart on their part.

Anyways, we only had to wait about 20-30 minutes for our submarine (I doubt that it actually goes under water). Based on what the ride was, I wouldn't wait more than an hour for it. But that's just me. It was still a fun ride.


After nemo, we went to Autopia. Right when we got to the loading part, one of the cars on the track broke down. We later found out that on of the tires came off a car. The worker next to us announced that they were having technical difficulties and then I said, "Come on. You can do better than that. How about, 'Someone on the track has a few screws loose', or 'Someone decided to pop a wheelie' (etc.)" I had a few more, but I think they aren't that funny now.
