After Anaheim Stadium...

After we knew the game was over, we thought of what we should do with all these time in our hands....we could do either Disneyland or shopping..we thought we can always go shopping anytime and anywhere... So instead we decided to go to Disneyland since it closes late and just a short distance from this stadium on Highway 5.

Since it's almost 7pm.. we thought if they would still charge us the full entrance fee or will it be discounted? As we were in line at the parking entrance, we were still unsure if it was worth it to still go because for the 2 of us..it's 100 bucks.. so expensive for next few hours.. then just as we went thru the parking entrance, we finally decided...ok.. we are in LA...Disneyland is our destination no matter the time of day.. We were told that the ticket was going to be full price and it was suggested that we can decide to go to Downtown Disney which is open late and it's free, but in the end we still stuck to our original idea to go to Disneyland..

I don't know why they don't have any discount.. Tokyo Disneyland has.. We could get discount after certain hour.. I think if Disneyland here has one, they will be able to make more money.. some people might want to go here for a date or something after work.. but they might avoid to go to disneyland cos it's expensive... if, for example, we can go to disneyland for only 20 bucks after 6pm, I think more people would go.. If I live in LA, I will definitely go.. doesn't matter if we will ride or not.. Even if we just walk inside the park, it would be nice...They should cater to this type of market. Disneyland isn't for vacationing people only and/or isn't for family only. Disneyland is also for everyone in all walks of life. They should think through the customers' point of view.. !!

Last time we came here.. hmmm.. I think 3~4years ago..that time..California Adventure just opened.. compared at that time, it had changed a lot... probably more new rides.. then they opened Downtown Disney.. But just too bad.. I am not sure because we came late...a number of major rides were closed in Disneyland... no space mountain..no indiana jones.. no haunted mansion..the only available good ones were Big thunder mountain and Star Tours.. of course we took these rides and some 3 more in between..

We saw fire works after we were about to finish small world ride.. it's so beautiful..

We stayed here until 10:30pm.. 2 reasons.. 1st.. we are actually tired after such a long drive.. 2nd.. we were staying that night at her aunt's place..so we didn't want her to wait up for us...so we called it a day.

We needed our rest and to get ready for next day's drive back home.
