When Mal first visited Disneyland it was the 1960s and he was a small boy. At that stage, the amusement park had only been opened for only ten years or so. Now, over fifty years later, much has changed but much has remained the same.
It was a surprise first visit for Sofie and Emma and they had the same excited wonder that Mal had all those years ago.
The first ride we went on was the classic jungle cruise which has not changed at all over the years.
From Adventureland, we moved on to the recently opened Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge attraction.
From Star Wars we headed to another galaxy and another time and visited New Orleans
Where the girls acquired their first tiaras.
Unfortunately, the line was too long to take a ride on the legendary Matterhorn roller coaster.
So we headed to the much more sedate but no less iconic Small World attraction.
We spotted this young maori boy and two kiwis, representing New Zealand (Aotearoa).
But it wasn’t all sedate rides. Jake, Kylie and the girls went for a ride on the log flume.
And Mal joined Jake and Kylie on Space Mountain.
With night and temperature falling, Mal, Lauren and Ben headed to the exits, leaving Jake, Kylie and the girls to enjoy the fireworks over the magic castle.
