Friday, the final day and back to Disneyland. I didn’t think
I would become a stickler but I am. I do think that they should be called what
they are Disney and Cali. I mean we had hopper passes but never did hop. So
really you can go to Cali and never step in Disneyland. But that isn’t really
important. So I don’t know if it was cause it was Friday but the bus was packed.
The whole thing is to have two buses on one line so people aren’t waiting. So
stagger them!!! It drove me mental the whole time that both buses ran side by
side.
Here is another side rant. If you work at Disney be fucking
happy. Some people are just crabby and if that’s you don’t work at Disney. This
comes from a ticket taker not validating my pass right. It did some strange
ding which my girlfriend noticed. I said don’t worry no one will let you in
without it being right. Turns out I was wrong. My girlfriends was valid and I
wasn’t. So even though this ticket taker knew my shit wasn’t valid she let us
through. Do your damn job and make sure it works proper! Not gonna lie there
was some grumpy words between us but it all worked out and after a hour wasted
we were on our day. Also I know she will never hear it but thank you to
Hannah??? I think her name was. A super friendly cast member who earlier in the
week found us a band aid for a blister. That is going above and beyond.
We did Indy twice more. Once in line and once on a fast
pass. That ride is a top 3 for sure. We did the haunted mansion again. This
time trying to get some photos. It isn’t really that scary but I bet back in
the day, it was cutting edge. I promised the Girlfriend she could meet Mickey,
so we went to toontown. He was in his house so it wasn’t even a bad wait. When
you look at all the movies, theme parks, merch and on and on that Disney has it
is crazy to think it all started with a mouse. Also is toontown just hotter
than the rest of Disney? Maybe cause it is more open and concrete but shit it
is hot. We ate pizza and hot dog. Now I know why you don’t buy food in the park
unless it is sit down! Then we headed to Alice, 40 minute line up. But it is
one of my fav stories so it was a must do. Of course after 20 min in line it
breaks down.
However we had fast passes to star tours. Before I get into
that Fast passes are a great idea. If you are just there for the rides, they
would likely be the only way you could get it all in. Even then I dunno. Friday
was the only day we made really good use of them. Star tours though was decent.
Wont lie, not what I thought. I thought it would be zipping around from the
main star wars planets. Or that’s what the line up to it seems. I wont say
exactly what it is but either way it was pretty good.
Then we did splash mountain. Fast pass again saves the day!!
Here is my question were can I get songs of the South? I remember the basics of
it but would like to see it again. Now that I am an adult I might understand
why it was so contervisail. I loved it, the ride is good and I loved the drop.
Its top 3 for me.
Then we went back to haunted mansion, guess what we used
again? Anyways I noticed in line an adult using a Nintendo DS. Really?? I
understand a book even, if you were alone but do you really need a DS when your
over 8? Then we went shopping, we got two engraved wine glasses. Name and year.
A Mickey and a Minnie. Then I finally got to ride Alice! Its good, I am a bit
disappointed in the tea party part but at least we rode it.
Funny story the
last ride I did on this trip was small world. I get what Walt wanted from it, I
however giggle at the stereotypes. And on the Bright side that stupid song isn’t
stuck in my head. One Mickey sings over and over is. Suitcase and a dream…..
So we watched the canoes by Tom Sawyer for a bit. I dunno
what the draw for that is. I mean maybe if you never have left the city but I
wouldn’t go on vacation to canoe myself. Then we ate at the Blue Bayou. 5/5. It
was the best food we had there. I really like the gumbo and the Jambalaya. I
still have a beef with the fact I can go for a twilight dinner with my girl and
not be served wine but…. Also they do have two specialty drinks which were
really good. I think you should get to line jump and do pirates again if you
eat there but no dice.
We finished by taking some more pics in downtown and she
bought a Alice mug for me. I can see how downtown could turn into a big party
at night. Either way we left early for the hotel. Then we had our dessert
there. Wine and dessert in the lounge. So my Disney adventures came to an end.
24180 steps or 18.4 Km
My last thoughts are on LAX. It is an airport I
think most people know but it really could use some work. The baggage drop was
just some corner with a hand written sign West Jet. I wouldn’t have left my bag
there but two guys did grab it and toss it on a belt. Here is to hoping it is
in E town when I get home. Also it doesn’t seem clean or kept up well. The
waiting areas are awful. Arriving is great on your way super fast but leaving
from there I dunno
