Explore Disney’s California Adventure Park at Disneyland
Today we decided to check out the newest park out here in Anaheim, California Adventure. Before our exploration we had a (delicious?) breakfast at Goofy’s Kitchen. This was a character breakfast, which in theory, characters are supposed to come to your table for photo ops. Well maybe it was the fact that we both look a shade over 6 but we didn’t get the attention that Emily was anticipating. Food was pretty good and after finally meeting Goofy we were off to California Adventure.
The park was pretty cool and we did the run around and take pictures thing today. When we got there Emily wanted to go on Soarin’ Over California, which was a simulator ride. For those of you who know me you can bet that was my first priority of the day. After some convincing we got our fast passes and headed to do some more exploring.
Coming near our time to return with our fast passes we returned to the room to pick up my secret weapon for motion sickness that we purchased prior to coming over here, the Relief Band. This contraption is a little watch like thing that sends an electric current from your wrist to who knows where but it is supposed to stop you from getting motion sickness. Well I felt like I was back at Alcatraz with this thing on. You can adjust the settings to send more or less current through your arm. Well being the genius that I am I thought more must be better. Walking down the runway to the ride itself I decided to try setting #4. After putting out the fire on my arm I decided to return to setting #3 for the ride. Not sure what it was but it worked, no motion sickness. I will try it on a few other things and keep you all posted.
We continued on our exploration of California Adventure and then headed back to room for the afternoon relaxation period. After our afternoon break we decided to take the monorail to Disneyland. The monorail out here is a little different in that the Windows are open. Driving past some pine trees you actually need to back away from the window or you get hit by some branches. The openings are also large enough to jump out of? Kind of weird being Disney and their craziness about safety.
We did a few things at Disneyland, had some fried chicken for dinner, watched the fireworks and headed back to the room. Another fun day in Anaheim.

In an effort to keep the integrity of the original blog post I vowed to not edit/add/rewrite any of the content so I am going to leave a comment. That said as I am writing this comment 11 years later I can’t believe how worried I was about riding Soarin’! For those of you who have ridden it you know that it isn’t nearly as scary as I was assuming it would be. Especially not enough to need my magic motion band. Wow, I was a piece of work.
