USA day 2 - Disneyland, Vegan Gumbo



We headed to Disneyland on our second day in LA. I'd been when I was a kid but Chris had never been. Although he said he didn't want to see Disneyland cos it was kinda stupid with long waits for rides, I made sure he went because it's a place you have to see to believe and understand.

I think he ended up quite enjoying the experience.

Of course Disneyland had cupcakes (sadly not vegan) and we spotted some heavily branded ones at a food stall there. They were quite pretty with the sprinkles made in the shape of Mickey Mouse ears.



The other highlight of the day was getting to try Vegan Gumbo!! The lovely Melisser aka The Urban Housewife put us onto it and sent me this link about the gumbo. We were not disappointed and it was the best meal we had all day (since we seemed to survive on french fries, sorbets and trail mix).



And the best bit was finally getting a pair of Minnie Mouse ears! When I was 7 and went to Disneyland for the first time, I ended up getting a sailor hat with my name embroidered on. I always wished I had mouse ears and now I finally do! Sparkly sequined ones no less!!!

Excellent, I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the gumbo, it's so delicious. I usually avoid Disneyland like the plague but I have to go every once in a while just for the gumbo! Thanks to Melisser for sending you my way :) Enjoy the rest of your trip!
