"G" - It's Not Supposed to Rain at Disneyland!

After a long hiatus, we're back! And we chose a heck of day to return. True to the song about California, it wasn't raining it was POURING! For hours and hours! By the time we left, we were soaked head to toe. That didn't stop us though, from fitting in a couple more attractions.

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage brings back special childhood memories for me. As a young girl, I was enchanted by the voyage deep under water. And believe me, I was very disappointed when I found out that the submarines don't really submerge. How could they not? I saw the bubbles rising and everything! The ride has since underwent a major remodel and it is now themed around Nemo and his underwater friends. It's still a great journey for all ages, especially if you're a fan of the movie.

The Frontier Shootin' Exposition costs 50 cents, and you try your hand at shooting a number of targets. (Light activated?) I don't think it's changed in 40 years.

Goofy's Playhouse in Mickey's Toontown is just that - a play area for little kids. Nothing special here, but it looks like a great place for Mom & Dad to sit and rest while the little ones expend some energy.


Games of the Boardwalk are at Paradise Pier in California Adventure. They are typical amusement park/fair games, but the barkers aren't scary people with cigarettes hanging out of their mouths. It costs about $2.50 per game, and I think there are only 4 games there. We played three of them, and won something at each one. The prizes are pretty good considering the price paid.
