Planning to go to LA in mid april

[Evil Techie]

Woot!!
thank you soooooo much carnage

that was an awesome review of disneyland and DCA
probably what i needed
a low down on which rides to go to since ive decided just to spend one day in disneyland
cant wait

how was the rest of your trip?
where else did you go and do?

[Carnage]

Rest of the trip was great, though tiring. 4 parks in 4 days will tire you out pretty good.

I did Disneyland on thursday, then went back to Disney for friday morning to finish up what we didn't get to. Then the rest of the afternoon was spent at DCA. Then friday evening I attended a private dinner and ERT session at Knotts Berry Farm. Saturday was a full day at Knotts. Then a full day at Six Flags Magic Mountain on Sunday. Didn't really have any time to do any other site seeing.

I've got pictures posted here .

Now to go get some sleep. Going to be a fun day at work tomorow.

thats a lot of park visiting
you must be soooo tired

are you a park fanatic?

what else is there to do in LA other than parks?

[Carnage]

are you a park fanatic?

That's an understatement. I travel all over simply to ride coasters. I've been on 143 different rides so far. In June I'll be going on a week long trip stretching from Memphis to Chicago, and who knows how many other trips. And there's planning going on now for a trip next year to Europe. I think I'm probably the only person I know that would go to Europe for roller coasters.

Other then the parks you're pretty much left with the touristy types of stuff. Like going through hollywood and seeing the sign, taking start tours,etc. I haven't done any of that so I can't really give much advice there.

Though if you want some other entertainment there's a medieval times you could go to(it's not too far away from Disneyland). I haven't gone to that one, but I've seen the show in Toronto and it's pretty cool. Though I hear it's kind of pricey.

Yeah, the weather was pretty nice for the most part.

Thursday and friday were great, saturday morning was a bit groggy, though sunday was pretty cold, overcast, and drizzly all day.

LA actually has more moderate temperatures then most people think. At this time of year on a clear sunny day the temp can get up to low-mid 20s. But as soon as the sun goes down at like 5 or 6, the temps drop pretty quickly. So before you know it the temp could drop to like 10 degrees. Sure, I'd take 10 degrees being cold any day, but if you're still wearing shorts and a t-shirt you'll probably want a change of clothes.

[Evil Techie]

ooh thank you
your advices about the eateries should come in useful although my gf tends to want to be a bit more spontaneous than i am

ill keep in mind the regions to stay out at night too
any more areas i should avoid? i really dont want any troubles on this trip

[Evil Techie]
