Disneyland California

Just a day to enjoy all that Disney has to offer. How can anyone not love Disney - where all your dreams come to true? - well as many will have written before it just is the best day's family entertainment on the planet - but can probably only work in the land of its birth where each and every cast member seems to love their jobs (that's their job). Or is it? After our first exhilirating ride of the day (Space Mountain) at 08:00 we went for breakfast and the chef was celebrating 52 years working at Disney and his birthday. I mean where else do the rest of the team gather round with helium ballons and sing happy birthday and give the day off so he could wander round and talk to all the guests at every table? We have been very fortunate to visit the other Disney (in Orland) and this was like a carbon copy but on a smaller scale and of course it was the prototype. They still get over 40,000 visitors a day. Must be doind something right. Three random pictures from the day include the sallon bar act which we really enjoyed over lunch (especially Billy). The Star Tours ride included lots of Star Wars movie memorabilia and the gratuitous Disney character from the afternoon parade down Main Street. Jacob's highlight of the day was watching Manny Ramirez who has just joined LA from Boston on a $20 Million a year transfer (this is baseball nor football after all = scoring his third home run in five games at the EXPN sports bar where they even have TVs in all the toilet stalls. Never miss a ball I guess. Choregraphed fireworks at 9:30 (sponsored by Honda) provided a suitably cheesy end to a wonderful day. Nice one Disney - why can't we all serve our customers like Disney it's not rocket science they do it 365x24 and it'll be the same tommorrow as it was today.
