Our Last Night
Disneyland
We finished our wonderful dinner and I was not ready to go, so we decided to spend the rest of the night back at Disneyland! I had to ride the original monorail. Since, the monorail takes you right into Tomorrowland, we had to have our bags checked and go through a turnstile with our tickets before we could ride the monorail.
The monorail in Disneyland is pretty pointless because we waited for 20 minutes for the monorail to arrive and we could have walked to Disneyland in 10 minutes. It was still something we just had to do!
The monorail in Disneyland is much smaller than the one in Walt Disney World. You cannot stand up in Disneyland's monorail and the windows can actually go down too. They are not manual though, so it was quite chilly in the monorail and it doesn't hold as many people because everyone needs to have a seat.
I'm glad we took the monorail ride, so we were able to get a nice birds-eye view of Disneyland! I just love Disneyland's Tomorrowland; it has a great retro-feel.
One of the main rids I wanted to go on is Disneyland's Space Mountain, which is now called Rockin' Space Mountain. We had to skip it on the first day because the line was over an hour long. Well, no luck this day either because the line was even longer! We had no choice, so we got in line. There was no way I was going home without riding this ride!
We waited about an hour and a half before we finally got to ride. The line is actually all wrapped around on the top floor, so you're outside and kinda overlooking Space Mountain.
The ride is totally different than Space Mountain in Walt Disney World. The cars are actually a lot like the ones in Rockin' Roller Coaster at Disney-MGM Studios and there are speakers right behind your head. You also sit two by two and not in front of one another.
The ride was actually just like Aerosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster, except with a space theme! It was like they combined Rockin' Roller Coaster and Space Mountain and created Rockin' Space Mountain! It was a totally different experience!
