I'm slowly catching up but will probably make my way backwards through your report!
This is the best picture!!! I did not have time to do any of the Marvel characters.
Thankfully I had already done Marvel Day at Sea otherwise I'd have spent hours on line with them and would have missed all the rides. #pickyourbattles
And, I was joined by... Su-Lynn,
@chunkymonkey, who ended up on a last-minute trip to
Disneyland!
Woohoo! I love how I can meet up with DISboard friends at any Disney Park! Well, so far it's only worked for the US parks but maybe in Asia and Paris too one day!
And Chicken & Waffle Funnel Cake. So, when I saw the guide from the May 3rd party I saw this and thought, hmm, a chicken & waffle funnel cake, interesting. Then I saw the "dash" and realized, oh its probably 2 different dishes: Chicken & Waffles, and a themed Funnel Cake. So imagine my surprise when my first instinct was correct! It was very very very sweet! And the tenders were actually sweeter than the funnel cake!
That was unexpectedly sweet, and it's so funny how the chicken was sweeter than the funnel cake! The funnel cake was tasty though. I think next time the honey sauce on the side would be a good idea.
And of course I needed the Darth Vader Stein!
That was really cool. Now I'm thinking I should have gotten one myself. I was going to the next day but ended up with Sully and didn't want to carry anything else bulky around. LOL.
Anyways, back to Darth. The saber was off so he walks over and says "This looks promising". I light it up, and blue - it was Rey's lightsaber! He just hung his head, shook it, and walked away slowly! He then tried to convince me to change its color throughout the meet (I really wish I had my other one because that one actually does go from blue-red!), but I refused and just smirked at his distress! Anyways, awesome!
Haha that was the best moment! You disappointed Vader!
We also didn't wait in the longest lines of the night, which were for C3P0 and R2-D2, and the Ewoks (but I took some stalker photos...); but each line was probably 90 minutes, so we were not about that!
Yeah way too long, the event would have been over if we had just waited in those two lines!
And at the end of the night, there were lots of astromech droids hanging around Town Square (I think 10-12, each controlled individually), so we got to meet an R2-D2 doppleganger.
Good thing we didn't wait in the 90 minute line!
I'm glad you got the hyperspace projections! I kept missing it.
And, as mentioned above, they did Adult Lightsaber Training with... Ray Park (aka DARTH MAUL!!!) Originally I was in a corner spot but Su-Lynn convinced me to take an empty center spot, so you can see me in the video she took (in the center with a ponytale and gray sweater). Yeah, I sucked really really bad! But it was fun!
Haha yes there was no point in you being off to the corner as either I'd video tape you and not get Ray Park, or just get Ray Park and not you in the video, so this was much better
And you weren't too bad. It was lightsaber training 101 so everyone more or less sucks.
Overall, it was a pretty fun night! I think, despite the cost, I will probably do it again if I like the theme! While we didn't care much about the rides (though did go on a couple), if you wanted to, you probably could have gone on almost every ride in Disneyland during the 4 hours (9pm - 1am). And it was great to finally meet Su-Lynn and share my Star Wars love with someone else!
I had a great time!! Thanks for telling me about the event and hanging out with me! We have to do it again sometime! I'm glad we got to go on Alice in Wonderland that night! That was super cool and a first for me.
Have a great time in Paris!!
