Up early for breakfast then off to Disneyland where 2 days passes for the six of us cost US$660. Did all the rides we could given some minimum height restrictions which sometimes ruled out Zara and/or Ashton.. We found a good position and settled down to see the grand parade where Zara was very keen to see Micka Mouse but it was not to be. She fell asleep just before the Parade started but Ashton saw the lot with eyes as big as saucers when the Disney characters and Buzz and Woody came past. After Zara woke up we took in more rides and then lined up for the evening version of tge Parade which kicked off early due to the threatening weather. It started to rain and got progressively heavier but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of Zara and Ashton from their vantage points sitting on the shoulders of Barry and Rod. Ashton was again gobsmacked at the proximity of his heros and Zara's eyes popped at the sight of Micka, Goofy and Pluto. At the finish it was pouring and we were all drenched walking the 1km back to our hotel. Finished the night with takeaway Chinese delivered to our room and watched the evening fireworks while Nicola and Rod went back to Disneyland for some big people rides.
