This day had been much anticipated by Lauren. From breakfast she broadcast to her friends back home that today was the day. The trip to Disneyland required 3 trains during peak hour, but again Lachlan had the navigation under control, making sure we were at the right place at the right time and arriving before the gates opened. Once inside we quickly hit some of the rides that we knew would become busy later. Throughout the day we worked our way through all the lands and did every ride we wanted to do, and saw the daytime and night-time parades, and the fireworks. We left as the park was closing at 10pm. Big day.

Highlights: Lauren says ‘all of it’. For Lachlan wearing shorts was not a highlight. The weather was cold, probably about 13 degrees.

Back at the hotel we should have been packing to leave the next morning, but sleep was more important.
