I love the realism of this ride.
If you were to actually go to Africa
(Liesa, back me up here.)
you would see baby elephants
spraying water into crocodiles' mouths.
It's very common.
And now I'll never know because after reading Liesa's update about her accomodations, I am sure that Africa is not on my bucket list.
And we had a really good one.
Or maybe I'm biased
because he kept picking on me
throughout the ride.
It was hilarious!
I remember laughing hilariously for just about the entire ride.
And of course, the ride ended with:
"If you had a great time, my name is John,
if you didn't my name is pkondz."
Awesome.
That was the best!
POTC,
where both Alison and Liesa
got wet bums
And they stayed wet for quite a while since it wasn't a really hot day.
I wouldn't stand in line for another beignet.
They were fine, but... Not overly special or unique.
At least, I didn't find them to be.
Blasphemy!
HM of course!
I mean... what else could it be?
(Bonus points. What's your favourite ride?)
Now that's a tough question. It's always changing. HM is definitely high up there. RSR was on top for a while, but I have to say now that GotG has opened that is my favorite for the time being. It's really a fun ride!
And I finally got to see
the Hatbox Ghost.
While the effect is a bit tame
by today's standards,
it's still fun to watch.
I still am enthralled with it every time that I ride it!
Yup. That's right.
Alison pinched Cinderella's royal bottom.
I DID NO. SUCH. THING! If you look at the picture you can clearly see that my had is safely on her waist and not her bum! Besides she's not my type. I'd be more inclined to pull a move like that with Gamora.
I prefer bada$$es and not femmes who lose their slippers.
Cinderella obviously has a good sense of humour
and they were both able to laugh about it after.
At WHAT????? Laugh at WHAT?????? There was inappropriate behavior going on there!!!!!!!!!!
I quickly dropped to one knee,
and presented her with...
Neither Liesa or I expected this and the handler and PP Photographer were cracking up as well.
But fear not! We'll set a date,
and you're all invited!
I can't wait! Can I be the Maid of Honor? Certainly she remembers me!
I didn't take any photos,
but I do know that Alison and I
split the fried chicken.
Dang! That was some good chicken!
Yes we did have the chicken, and it was very good! I would post my photo, but since I've boycotted PB I don't go back there anymore and I don't want to deal with formatting it to post here since it's kind of a PITA the way I now post.
Do you know how they say "fried chicken"
in France?
(No. Not Royale with poulet.)
(Get the reference(ish)? Bonus points, yes or no.)
Nope. No clue.
(And thanks to Alison and Liesa
for letting me indulge myself.
Indulge yourself with WHAT?
With riding the submarine, people!!!)
Oh. OK. I was happy to ride it too.
I really can't express how... foreign
that was to me.
I mean... going from park to park
should involve a bus or monorail ride
shouldn't it?
Being able to just pop over
to the next park was... surreal.
See that's why we think WDW is so fun and exotic. You have to "transport" when you are there. At DL once you are there, you're there and you just walk (or motor) back and forth.
For some reason, I had always thought of
Paradise Pier as being somehow outside
the park itself.
Perhaps you're thinking of the Paradise Pier Hotel. THAT is outside the park.
Nor did we ride California Screamin'
So how come later you say you and Kay rode it "again". BTW It will become the Icredicoaster soon.
And I'm happy to say
that out of the four of us,
I kicked some serious heinie!
Huh. I've always been a Beaver, but after this time riding, I learned things that later allowed Jill and I to become kitties on our next trip.
And... wow.
They really went all out with the
scenery here!
I was pretty gobsmacked
by it all!
I'm glad you appreciated my entrance choice.
I think, (help me out here Alison/Liesa)
the line for the ride was about two hours?
Probably. I rarely saw it under 90 minutes, but now that GotG has opened that one has the long line prize. But as I remember it had been down most of the day and once they got it back online they put the FP line through the regular queue and used the FP line for the regular q
As it was, the fastpass line
took us... I think about 30 minutes
at least.
Because the ride was down, they actually switched fhe queues and put us through the regular queue, and put the standby riders in the FP queue. I can tell that from your pictures.
On the way, Kay tallied up her score.
She had been keeping track
of every time she heard a kid having
a meltdown.
Today's tally stood at eleven.
I strongly suspect she missed... a lot.
Huh. She was pretty secretive about this.
I ordered another round of hot dogs
so that others might try them.
I think she ate all of those too.
I did get one or two. I didn't realize she didn't eat anything else.
We were just sitting,
chatting, when...
All of a sudden,
Liesa throws her drink at me!!
The evening wasn't a complete loss however.
At least, not for Kay.
I suppose the waiter noticed her birthday button
and brought out a little dish of ice cream
with a candle.
That was really nice of him!
We then headed out of the park
and back over to
Disneyland.
We got in a not very long line
for HM and rode.
What the heck...
the line's short...
We rode again!
By now it was getting dark
and we headed
back
to California Adventure.
We were going to take in
World of Colour.
You guys did a ton in that little time frame!
franandaj - 4, room service, wheel, HM, shirt, saw it, big bang, cooks - 130 points.
Steppesister - 660
franandaj - 605
I'm liking these odds better!
No questions.
I'm not even all that sure
what we did yet!
And what I do remember
is the same that at least in part,
at least 3 others know.
You did go off on your own for a bit, but the I as who know what happened are already in the lead.
Bonus: Did you see it?
Of course you saw it.
I mean, you saw it right?
How could you not see it?
PM your guess.
Posting will result in deductions.
Will get to the PM...
Okay, confession time. I really wanted the chicken. But I didn't know that sharing was an option, and knew I couldn't even begin to eat even half of the chicken dinner. Everyone sort of disappeared at the Plaza, so fended for myself, and
went with what I knew I could eat. Next time... would someone please share the chicken with me.
Please?
I promise not to spill drinks, cut in line, or take up
scooter bag space.
I'm always up for sharing! In fact we could have gotten the chicken and a Cobb salad, for me that's the perfect combo. Little salad, little chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, the only thing there isn't much to split is the biscuit, but I suppose we could ask for another one. I've heard they will accommodate special requests like all white meat, or all dark...double potatoes, no beans...next time for sure!
