Day 13 - Earthquake & Playing at Disney


VM:  Cross another natural disaster off the bucket list.  We have now experienced an earthquake.  OK. More like an earth tremor, but legitimate nonetheless.  Yesterday morning at around 9:30am, I was working in the hotel room and everyone else was at the park.  The "quake" measured about 3.5 on the Richter scale.  I wasn't sure of what it was, until JM checked in with me to make sure I hadn't freaked.  As expected, the Disney parks were well prepared, evacuating the rides swiftly, rerunning safety checks and then opening them up again.  
  
Can you see the castle!?!?!?
We spent Wed. at both parks with our friends CG & KG.  Both dads did a great job of traipsing behind the girls as they ran from ride to ride starting at 7AM!!!!  I didn't make it out there until 1pm and they had already hit the biggies.  At Disney, it really does pay to be the early bird.

Both parks are great.  I particularly like CA Advenure and feel like it doesn't get enough credit for being both an imaginative and fun theme park.

EM and I made it until 9pm while JM & HM stuck it out, not getting home until 11:30pm!!!!


So cool.  On the Matterhorn, they actually have
mountain climbers!
