The photos from inside the ride are great. The ride in California very rarely has a line. I am glad that it was not stopped for long.

Beautiful pictures from the GCV. That courtyard is so gorgeous. You did a wonderful job capturing so many lovely details. You make me wish I was staying there right NOW!
So the LM queue is boring? Nice pics from inside the ride!
Good job that you were not too late to the meeting. What a shame that your lunch was not very nice and that they had so much trouble correcting your check especially as it was their mistake to start with. I loved the photos from the Disneyland hotel.

Hello! I've got a few days left off school thought I would venture back over to the Dis! Found this report- so now I have to read!
Still skipping around to catch up. Looks like single rider is the way to go in Carsland. Wonder if I can convince Denny its OK? He hates single rider. Why? I don't know!
Too bad your lunch was crappy. It doesn't look like much food either. And what's so hard about you using a voucher and cash in one transaction?
I have heard that the CM's in DL are not as professional as the ones in WDW. It really boils down to training for costumer service. Interesting that both parks wouldn't be trained the same.
Okay, so my notes
What a fun tour that your friend took you on! I have some friends out there that would LOVE to take me around- but I wouldn't get any VIP backlot tours!
she gave me a royal tour that day
DL Hotel looks so nice! And you really had a perfect room to share with a stranger. LOL! I know you "know" her, but still
I loved that hotel! I was so glad that Cass turned out to be normal!!!
Did Dapper Day happen the same day as the WDW one? That was our first day in the parks at WDW- and it was rather crowded there as well! I had never heard of this event!
This was Feb, so it was a few weeks before.
I am saddened that you didn't get that same "rush" at DL as WDW.
I really did enjoy myself, but I never got the exact same feeling, but I think it's because WDW was my "home park."
Um I cannot believe that you stayed awake for basically 24 hours. You are crazy my dear. I would have been curled up in my bed as soon as I saw it.
Yeah, I know I am crazy!
Considering all the craziness with Magic Bands at WDW, the ticket taking at DL seems soooo old school! Why don't they have finger scanners? And I agree- "signing" is my signature.
It is very old school there.
Carsland!!! I can't wait to ride RSR, but I honestly hope they don't bring that ride to DHS.
It is such an awesome ride
LOL About the Ferris Wheel. I love those things- but my husband does NOT.
death trap!
I don't like the "fair" type set up @ AK either. Feels lazy in my opinion.
exactly
I love your "death trap" category of rides.
I haven't ever seen the Beast Library before either. OF course, I'm not a big reader of DL Trippies
I had not seen it before so I was surprised to find that whole area.
I had no idea that ToT was different at DL. (I am learning so much .)
It's not as good, but the drop to me was crazier
I love the Aladdin show!
AWe Toontown I am happy with our NFL but I do miss Toon Town!
We miss toon town too.
I am still reading, but I'm going to post in I've been reading on and off all day! LOL Only to page 26.
The food at Flo's LOOKS good. That milkshake makes me want to send Corey over to the Steak and Shake right now!
The milkshake was yummy. I might have to get a milkshake on the way to Claire's dance class tonight.
Ouch on the Matterhorn! That's a bummer that it was so rough and not what you expected. I hope whenever we go that I'm able to get on the smoother side!
Go on the right side
Jolly Holiday! Awe! I want to go there! You know how I love Mary Poppins!
Me too!!!
Oh wow! Haunted Mansion looks totally different on the outside! Pretty!
It is different inside too, but still similar
Cafe Orleans looks yummy! I want those fries! I have seen them before on other trippies! I'd like to try that sandwich- sans the ham!
The fries are to die for!!!
The GC room looks really nice!
It's beautiful
Poor Claire and all those people in your family unable to give the child a bath!
I know...and if you ask her to wash her own hair, she acts like you have 5 heads.
I'd love to do the DL tour!!!! You are so lucky!
I was happy to have the tour, even if it was a mini version.
I love that blue dress that you are wearing. So cute.
Thanks. I got it on clearance for like $7 I think.
Love the WoC photos!
I have seen hot tubs with that foam on top- I think it's actually from hair gel, lotion/sunscreen, detergent or it's the pH not balanced! I bet those kids were slathered in sunscreen and it was reacting with the chemicals in the hot tub
It was so gross!!!!
I love these rooms at the GC! I want to go there NOW!!!! But I guess staying at the GF in a few weeks will have to do!
Oh poor you HAVING to stay at GF is such a pain, isn't it?
Well, lookie there! I'm all caught up! Aren't you proud of me!?
Great updates! I think that area where you crossed the streets where the 3 hour free parking for DTD is. My 2nd trip out to LA I didn't get to go to the parks, but a co-worker gave me the scoop on how to get shopping done for souvenirs to bring back.
I love the decor of the one hotel. Very 1970's Brady Bunch California vibe!
Yes, that one picture is of their MASSIVE parking garage. We parked there the first time. The monorail comes out right near there.
The Mickey lamp looks just like the one the have at the Beach Club at WDW. Cute.
OMG! I love the themed building! So cute!!
I want to stay CL there! Holy Cow that lounge is amazing! I need that Tinkerbell table! For real!!!!
