Our Adventures on (and occasionally off) the Road -- (Almost) Full Time RV'ing and Work Camping: NASCAR Weekend, phase II -- The Isabel Surprise!

Where to go following a great NASCAR weekend? Disneyland of course! We wanted to do something special just for Isabel since she has been working hard on school and to repay her for her patience during our travels. So we left Las Vegas Monday Morning and ended up at the Anaheim RV Resort, right down the street from Disneyland Monday evening. The RV park was really nice -- free coffee and doughnuts, free USA Today, nice level concrete pads, beautiful landscaping. The only downside was that it was located right in a downtown neighborhood -- but we chose it for it's convenient location, not for its privacy. The shuttle for the park ran right from the parking lot as well!

So here we are, on Main Street at Disney! This was Diana and Isabel's first visit which made it even more special. So much to see and do...

Here's Isabel and I sitting in our new futuristic home we created while visiting Tomorrow-land

Watch out! New driver at the wheel. Isabel actually did better than we did on the track. I think we'll install this bumper on our cars at home.

And now, it's time for a Churro!

Did we do Small World? Of course we did, but only once. (and I'm still singing the song)

"It's a World of laughter, a World of fun..."

Disney added a few lands while I was away. This is a new section of the park called Toon Town. Isabel is having more fun than she is showing here. This is her famous "teenage look".

Here is Mom, trying to rid her of the look. I wouldn't mess with Mom if I were you, Isabel!!

Did we do Pirates of the Caribbean? Of course we did!

Another "new" ride that I didn't see when I was here was the Star Wars ride. The best I can do is to say it's like being on a roller coaster ride while watching a 3-D movie. Very Exciting! This was the highlight ride of the day for Isabel. Had we eaten lunch first, Diana and I would have been in big trouble!

At the Mad Hatter, trying on hats. I thought she should have bought this one, but alas, she didn't.

Ya - Man! Where did I put my steel drum?

Isabel was the only one who ended up with a hat, and it was a nice one! It even lights up! Now, it's time for lunch which will give us time to plan our afternoon park strategy.

Did we do the Jungle River Tour? Of course! This was one of my favorites!

So, when we planned the trip we said, Hey! we're going in March... It's still somewhat cold and it should be off season so the park will be mostly empty! Oh yeah, the schools are on spring break... so much for mostly empty! The place was JAMMED! So we spent a good amount of time looking at the back of other peoples heads while waiting in lines! The neat part was, for the most popular rides you could go to a separate kiosk and get a fast pass which had a time (in the near future) that you could return to the ride and go straight to the front of the line! We really liked this feature!
