And the best thing was that we would be able to share the experience with some of our friends and brought Thing 2, Alison and Michael’s brother along as well.
It was greatfun sharing that day with you all!
Considering that normally those tour guides are a very expensive perk, I was really surprised how someone would just let the tour guide wait! But she said that this was not uncommon…
I am very surprised that people do that.
If you can afford the guide, the you likely can afford to waste the experience of having them.
But then again when you point this out I can only roll my eyes as it is so true.
Once I told Michael about my idea, he suddenly was all for coming along!! And Thing 2 and Michael’s brother thought it was a great idea, too!
What a great idea! I've only been there for lunch, but it's one of my favorites. Heck so many places there are favorites!
However, they were really nice and thick, not the flimsy typical Disney bacon. This was some delicious bacon!!
I never understood the bad rap that Disney bacon gets, but that's because it isn't bad out here. I've heard so many folks who know WDW bacon and order it at DL and are pleasantly surprised.
And then in the end they did not charge me for it, which was nice.
Free bacon? Even better!
That Genie is widely considered to be one of the top two according to Iago's friend.
I'm pretty sure I know which one is the other good one. The cast we saw is not the cast I normally see. We did the 2PM show and usually I see the one in the 4PM hour.
I got a meal with ribs, which was delicious and Michael had a beef sandwich. I totally failed at taking pictures before I started eating. Sorry!!
I had been holding off replying as we had this exact same meal a little over a week ago and I wanted to post pictures for you, but I have to be able to reply from my computer to do that. I finally gave up on the computer in an effort to not fall woefully behind. Plus I need to wrap up my current TRS before I leave this weekend. But I don't want to keep posting on my TR without replying to others!
We ended that day with a ride on Space Mountain where Alison and I rocked the front row!
Again I would love to post the redneck photo but not sure I could crop it properly on my phone to remove the camera shy individuals!
I know that Thing 2 got a child's meal fried chicken dinner from the Plaza Inn as this is his favourite snack. Not sure about the others.
I am glad to know about this as it looked like the perfect portion. I passed on overpriced Disney food since I would be heading home and could pick something up in a drive thru.
Alison and I waited for quite a bit for the crowds to clear and then said goodbye for now somewhere on Main Street.
The after fireworks crowds are crazy, and with the walkways at Disneyland being so much smaller and more congested than WDW, waiting for the crowds to thin is the only sane option.
it really was not necessary to get the room cleaned three days in a row.
That's so weird how that happened. I never miss the housekeeping when we're staying in DVC. I kind of like it that no one comes in the room.
I was really surprised how busy the hallways were with people starting to get ready for their park days! At WDW I always had the impression that the hotel was really empty when we had an early start for rope drop.
Californians tend to be early risers (myself not really included). I'm always amazed at how many people are up jogging, walking, at the gym and so forth and this is not at Disney. Add on EMH and these overachievers are really up early!
It was actually a plain white towel with neat Mickey heads woven into the border on th
We have those!
nothing in the world can convince me that spinach or even worse: kale is a good addition to an otherwise delicious smoothie!!
I agree with you completely!
But getting up there required multiple freeways (think we used four or five, two being the 605 and the 210. which meant going way out of the way to ac
No wonder it took you so long!
As any SoCal resident will tell you, UNI is on the border of the San Fernando Valley and it is always a good 5-15 degrees hotter once 'over the hill' ...
Actually technically you "go over the hill" from the Valley to get to the cooler weather. When I worked in the valley, my temperature gauge dropped 30° in the course of driving home as Long Beach is that much nicer!
And this is where you will find Hogsmeade soon:
Very cool!
And then you are in Springfield
Wow! So much has changed since I was there over 15 years ago.
Our first destination was the Studio Tour which takes you on trams through the real backlo
Even this has changed a bunch!
The whole being a volunteer thing was over so quickly! I am normally not someone who has spent a lot of time on stages, so this was a new experience for me. But it was definitely a lot of fun!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm not one to volunteer for things like that and I have quite a bit of experience on stage!
By now it was dark and during this summer they offered special Night Tours of the Studio Tour. So we went there to experience this special offering. I
That sounds pretty cool.
So we noticed the place in the strip center (near Subway, which would have been a bland but open choice) and thought we'd give it try. The pizza was fine and the prices reasonable. But it was in no way a place you'd describe as memorable or particularly tasty. I'd eat there again in a pinch.
I've heard nothing but good reviews of Pizza Press and at first that's the place I thought you were talking about, but then I realized that you went elsewhere. Sorry it wasn't good.
The trip was really feeling like a commando job at this point, but thankfully we slowed the pace down as we went forward!
I hope so because I'm getting tired just reading about your exploits.
