NYC to Disneyland

The last couple of days in NYC were filled with tours and shopping! The second last day we had tours. Uptown and Downtown. The first tour was Downtown. We saw the Twin Towers Memorial, Empire State Building and much more. We also hopped on a cruise to see the Statue of Liberty. She is so amazing! There were heaps of people on the island taking pictures but we didn't go on the island because you couldn't go inside the statue because of renovations so there was no point. You can still take pictures of it from a boat.
After the cruise we had lunch and went to the Empire State Building to have a look inside but it started raining and ther was lightning so they said the outside deck was closed so we had to stay inside. It was very foggy so it wasn't a very good view but when the storm stopped the outside deck opend but it was still not the best view. After the downtown tour we went on the uptown tour. We saw Central Park, the hotel John Lennon was shot at and more. It started to storm and the bus we were on was a double decker with an open top roof. We were given ponchose and were told to go downstairs. It was really croweded with everybody down there. Then the lightning stopped but it kept raining so we were aloud upstairs again. So up we went in our ponchoes and sat down, then about 5 minutes later the lightning starts up again so we have to go back downstairs and this time we stayed there. The day after that  we went outlet shopping at Woodbury Common. Luckily it wasn't raining. I got heaps of clothes. I got clothes from Guess, JCrew, Nike just to name a few. It was a bit hard finding clothes for me because there were hardly any clothes for my age. There was either teenages or 5 to 9 year olds. There were women and men to. I was board on the bus ride there and back because it was really long and I had nothing to do. So after the day of shopping it was time to pack our bags and head  to the airport to fly to LA. We had to check out of our apartment by 11:00am (we left at10:30) and our plane flight wasn't untill 6:00 that night so we were at the airport for a while. But then our flight got changed from 6:00 to 7:15 so we were waiting there for about 8 hours. I was so board. The plane didn't take off until 8:00.

So we landed in LA about 11:00pm and got to the hotel at 12:00am. It was a big hotel room. I was so happy to be out of the most tiniest apartment and into a nice BIG hotel room. We all brushed our teeth and hoped into bed hopping to get a good night sleep. Woke up the next morning around 8:30 had breakfest and got ready to go to Disneyland! It is definatley the most happiest place on earth. Its so big and so amazing. Our hotel is across the road so we just walk there. When we got there we had a look at the map and went straight to the rides. The rides we went on were Jungle cruise, Indiana Jones, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder mountain Railroad, Big Thunder Ranch, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. We also walked through Tarzans Treehouse. We got some ice-cream, Mickey mouse ears and watched a parade then we went home. The next day we were at Disney land again. The rides we went on were Pinocchios Daring Journey, Snow Whites Scary Adventures, Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough, Mr. Toad's wild Ride, Peter Pan's Flight, Mad Tea Party, Alice in Wonderland, Gadgets Go Coaster, Roger Rabit's Cartoon Spin, Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, Star Tours and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. It was a big day that one. Before we went back to the hotel we picked up some pictures that a man had drawn for Kobey and I. Mine is Peter Pan holding Wendy. When we went back to the hotel we watched the fireworks from there. The next day it was Disneyland again but this time in the California Advenure part. The Disney Land part is way better and more fun. The rides we went on where The Little Mermaid-Ariels Undersea Adventure, California Screamin, Redwood Challenge Trail and Grizzily River Run (got so wet had to go to the hotel and change clothes). That night we watched a show called World of Colour. Its music lights and water combinded together to make one big show. It was absolutley amazing. It beats the fireworks by far. There were images and clips from movies apering in the water. It was fantastic. And the next day was the last day at disney land. Went over to the Disney part because California Adventure was boring. The rides we went on were the Matterhorn Bobsleds, Whinne the pooh( which broke down three times first time we were at the front of the line second time just about to start going inside the ride and third time we were ten metres away from the ride finishing), Storybook Land Canel Boats and Pirates of the Caribbean. We went home but  mum and I went back to film the fireworks, Parade and a show called fantasmic. Its where you look inside Micky's imagination. I'm going to miss Disneyland but luckily we get to go back with the Australian team for WCOPA.
