Disneyland and California Adventure 1/24/2004



by Chris Guenzler



I hadn't been to Disneyland since I took the Eight Graders their on their promotion trip in 1993 when I worked at MacArthur. I always wondered what the Indian Jones ride would be like but never got around to going. Disney opened the California Adventure with a WP California Zephyr made up train set so I was interested in seeing that. My dear friend Jeff works for Disney testing video games and had done that for years. In fact long enough he can now bring sign someone into either park for free. Jeff asked me when I would like to go and we picked a date. Following a roundtrip to Solana Beach on a Surfliner train, Jeff picked me up and we were off to the Magic Kingdom and California Adventure.





We were greeted by the train at the Main Street Station. We took the Horse Car down Main Street America before heading to Indian Jones which we both enjoyed after only a thirty minutes wait. What a great ride. Next we went to Pirates of the Caribbean which I really enjoyed after the seeing the movie. Next to get some pictures of the park train we went to the New Orleans Square Station to wait for the trains to pass by.
