I’ve been meaning to post about the amazing weekend I had, but between moving apartments and working on a staff report that’s due tomorrow I haven’t had much time.
My friends and I all took a three day weekend this past weekend to bus down to Long Beach to stay with our friend Rebekah – and go to D I S N E Y L A N D.
I can’t emphasize enough how much I love Disneyland. I’ve been there four times, and each time is more magical than the last.
On Friday, my roommate and I woke up at 4:40am to catch the Caltrain to the Megabus station.
Eating a healthy Jack-in-the-Box breakfast while waiting for the Caltrain. We’re not morning people, in case you haven’t guessed.
The Megabus can be a really great deal if you book far enough in advance. It’s even possible to get a $1 ticket if you do it early enough. We didn’t get that great of a deal, but we still ended up paying less than half the cost of the Greyhound, Amtrak, or a plane ticket. In terms of quality, you get what you pay for, but it’s decent.
When we got to Long Beach, we had lunch at our friend’s house and then headed to the beach.
I’m a San Diegan at heart, so I feel right at home at the beach. I missed the warm, sandy beaches of SoCal. These Northern California beaches just don’t cut it.
After watching the sun set at the beach (an experience that everyone must experience in their lifetime), we grabbed a late dinner at Guppy Tea House, an awesome restaurant in LA.
The next day we woke up bright and early for DISNEYLAND. We got there at 9:30am and left at midnight, giving us over 14 hours of pure Disney magic.
It was the most perfect Disney experience. The weather wasn’t too hot, and we had short waits for every ride. We had park hopper tickets, so we got to go on just about every ride. I can’t even explain how much fun it was. It was easily the best day of the entire summer. When we finally watched World of Color at night, it was so beautiful and magical I couldn’t help but cry like a baby.
At the end of the day, we were all exhausted. We had to wake up early the next day to travel back home, and once we got back we had to move apartments. It was a lot to stuff into one weekend, but it was 100% worth every minute.
