Geeky Yet Waterproof

Because the convention hadn’t yet started as of Tuesday night, this is how we spent USA Swimming’s money.







Space Mountain was definitely the best ride in the whole place. We would have gone on it twice, had Pirates of the Caribbean not beckoned us to seek its treasure.



Also, we stood in Disneyland’s Longest Line, which took 40 minutes and stretched probably at least a quarter of a mile. The line was for the Submarine Voyage, which is, well, a submarine ride across a mini-lake. But this wasn’t just any submarine ride. If you watch the video below, you’ll see why it was worth the wait…







Disneyland’s Submarine Voyage consists of the 8th largest submarine fleet in the world.



When it was time to leave, we actually got stuck at Disneyland (no, it wasn’t exactly intentional): when we first arrived at Disneyland, we were so excited that we forgot to note where the bus had dropped us off. So afterwards, when we were waiting for the bus which goes back to the hotel, we had no idea which bus it was or where it would be — all we knew was that it leaves at 8:20. We asked someone where the bus going to the Hyatt hotel would stop, and they told us “at the white sign”. Lo and behold, we found a little yellow sign that said “white”! So we waited. And waited. And 8:20 came. And went. And then, we noticed a little arrow under the white sign — pointing to the Real white sign, 50 feet away.

Luckily, the last bus was leaving in 15 minutes, so we still made it back to the hotel.
