More Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure
| People started queuing up early to get into Disneyland. Most of these people would go immediately to the new Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage ride. Seriously, the lines for that ride, which had only opened a week earlier, were at least two hours long all day. |

| The Indiana Jones Adventure ride is somewhat like the Dinosaur ride at Animal Kingdom in Florida but better. I'm not sure what Indiana Jones has to do with Disney, though. |

| There is the my brother-in-law, Mike, going to the Jungle Cruise. |

| This was one of Disneyland's first attractions. Walt originally wanted live animals along the ride. Could you imagine a live tiger up there? |

| A herd of Audio-Animatronic elephants playing in the water. |

| *DUPLICATE PHOTO WARNING* It's not quite a duplicate, but a close-up photo of a robotic hippo from a different angle is duplicate enough. At least this one isn't blurry. The photo, that is, not the hippo. |

| I have had it with these mother f---ing snakes on this mother f---ing plane! I mean this mother f---ing jungle cruise! |

| Now we are back at the docks and no longer subjected to the corny joke of our boat operator. |

| I didn't get a chance to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad the last time I was out in California because it broke down just as I got on. I was luckier this time. |

| *DUPLICATE PHOTO WARNING* Again, it's close enough. This is a view of the Rivers of America, with Tom Sawyer's Island in the foreground and Splash Mountain and the Haunted Mansion in the distance. |

| The horseless hearse. |

| The Diamond Horseshoe Review in WDW closed a few years back. The Golden Horseshoe in Disneyland is still alive and kicking. |

| The band, Billy Hill and the Hillbillies, were good. Here they are doing their bluegrass tribute to the Beatles. That's why they are wearing those wigs. They are not quite as blurry as this in person. |

| Steak gumbo in a bread bowl. Très délicieux! |

| Mike and I ate our gumbos at a restaurant right near the entrance for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It got rather crowded around midday. |

| Get out of the way! There's a horse-drawn trolley coming straight at us! Mike and I are on our way back to the hotel to print our Southwest Airlines boarding passes. It only took about a half hour to walk over, print them and walk back to the park. |
