My First Time to Disneyland

“I’m twenty years old and I’m going to Disneyland for the first time!”

Angela came up with this awesome idea of taking a spring break trip to either Disneyland or taking a cruise to Mexico with Izzy, Jimmy, me and Megan.  I really wanted to do the cruise but it didn’t work out because of Megan’s basketball schedule.  She was the trainer for the men’s team and she wasn’t sure if she was going with them down to the Pac-10 tournament in California.  She got back to us late telling us that she was not able to go down with them so we settled for Disneyland.   

Angela’s dad works for Alaskan Airlines as a pilot and got us really good discounts on our entire trip.  Her mom planned it all for us.  All we had to-do was show up.  We drove home for spring break and spent a day or two at home with our family.  We left March 15^th and Megan’s mom took Megan and me to Izzy’s house in Auburn.  Izzy’s mom took all of us to the Sea-Tac Airport and we were on our way to Disneyland:  the happiest place on earth.  As a result of the free flight there and back, we were asked to wear nice clothes because Angela’s parents asked us to, just a courteous thing to do.  This was my first time ever to California.  We arrived at the John Wayne Airport in Orange County, got off the plane, got the luggage and went outside into the sun.  The sun felt so good, especially after being in the frozen Palouse for about five months.  We stayed in a hotel right across the street from the Disneyland resort.  We spent two days at Disneyland/California Adventure and a day at Universal Studios. 

One not so eventful night, I called Lacey and we spent a couple hours hanging out.  We went to In and Out, Newport Beach and she showed me where she lived.  I visited with her mom and dad for awhile before she took me back to the hotel.  The next day, we packed up all of our stuff, boarded the plane and got back to Washington March 19^th.

It was definitely worth the money we owed Angela’s mom.  The trip that would have cost me at least $1000 only was $200 because of all of the discounts.  This vacation so far is one of my favorite plane trips.
