Well I don't want to put this off forever so I will start my TR now! I'm not excited to be back but DBF and I had an AMAZING trip. Everything went great. So here goes! I have to warn you though, I take pictures with DBF's phone, and while they usually turn out great, this time the resolution was unknowingly set to 324 or something. The pictures turned out small, and I was unhappy!!
Thursday January 28: We woke up at about 3am and got ready to go. My truck was parked in the garage so we had our bags already in the truck and strapped down. By 3:30am we were ready to go, so we were off! We drove and on the 303 we saw a tipped over semi truck!
That was scary to see but it seemed like everyone was ok and no other cars were involved. We kept driving and I took a note that we got to the border at 6am, but I am not sure if that's AZ time or CA time. We kept driving and driving and didn't eat anything along the way because we weren't hungry. We got near Palm Springs and there was snow on the mountains!
We arrived at DLR at about 9:30 and walked right in and used our MM. The crowds were more than I expected but it was still a lot less crowded than when I went in October and it happened to be Gay Days.
That was soooo crowded! My mom texted me and told me to send her a picture. This is what I sent her.
From there we went straight to Peter Pan. That was the only ride we rode because the line was kind of long and it was almost 10 by the time we got out. We decided to eat a breakfast burrito from Village Haus. When the rest of the park opened we went over to Adventureland. We got FP's for Indy and rode it, then went to HM and Pirates. At some point in the day we rode Buzz for the first time. I liked it, and I smoked DBF's score by 20,000.
We rode rides like crazy for most of the day. At around 1pm we went to DCA and went to Taste Pilots for lunch. We shared a B2BBQ Sandwich. That was soooo good! After that we went to check in at the hotel. I LOVED
our hotel. It was so nice and clean, the people were nice, and the view from the top was great! We were on level 2 but we went to the top a few times to see and no one had any problem with it.
(Sorry, I thought I had pics of the view)
After that we went to DCA for the rest of the time until it closed, and went to DL for the remainder of the night.
Friday January 29: We got up and had breakfast at Mimi's Cafe. I had Smoked bacon and eggs from the healthy menu, and DBF had an omelet. It was so good! We loved it and will definitely be going there again. We didn't while we were there on our trip but we are going to use the last free breakfast this weekend. We did the same thing Friday as we did on Thursday. Rode rides like crazy! We went to DCA first. We went and rode Soarin' first.
We stayed at DCA until about 12 and headed over to DL to ride Pirates and HM before our PS for Blue Bayou at 1:10pm. We went in and within about ten minutes we were being seated. We kept walking closer and closer to the water. And every table I looked at thinking that was the one, it wasn't. He sat us by the water!!
I was so happy. It was a good spot too. It took forever for the waiter to come take our drink order but it was alright. I told the waiter that I had eaten before our PS so I was only getting a salad, and he seemed like it was perfectly fine. (I hadn't eaten but I didn't want to tell him I was just trying to save DBF money!) DBF ordered the Monte Cristo. (Don't get mad, but
) We didn't like it at all. I had one slice of the sandwich and my tummy hurt the rest of the day. My salad was really good though. DBF and I decided that just once was enough, until they get the cookie boat back. We rode rides for the rest of the day but I felt sick so we went back to the hotel at about 8-9 after we had used all of our FP's. We went to the top to watch the fireworks from there. I wasn't thinking it would be any good. There were a few people up there already. The fireworks started and I couldn't believe it but you could HEAR the music. It was awesome! We even saw Tink
flying from the Matterhorn! I was in awe.
After that, it was bed time.
Saturday January 30: We had breakfast at McDonalds this day. I had a Yogurt Parfait (SO GOOD!) and iced coffee. DBF had a breakfast burrito and an egg McMuffin. We went to
Disneyland at about 9:10. We wanted to go to DCA to ride TSMM because we hadn't done that yet. So we rode the train around once and by that time it was about 9:30-9:40. We got in the park and we didn't want to sit around and wait for the rest of the park to open so we went and rode Soarin'. I remember it being a walk-on. After that we took the GRR path to Paradise Pier. We got to TSMM and the line was probably about 30 mins. We didn't care too much so we waited in it.
We really liked this ride! I didn't know DBF liked it as much as me until he told my brother about it when we got back about how cool it was. I couldn't believe how real it felt. I really thought things were flying at me, hahaha. After that we rode Screamin' of course! After that I took a bunch of pictures of Paradise Pier.
Then DBF and I thought it would be funny to make it look like we are part of the Billboards.
Later on we went to DL and had RRPP for a late lunch and early dinner. Then we went back to the hotel by closing.
