”Yep, you're livin' the dream, Mater boy.”
I bought 2 bowls of Froot Loops, 2 pastries and one cup of hot tea for DW and it came to almost $20.
”How about some organic fuel?”
Yah, the international currency exchange rate from US Dollars to Walt-o-Bucks tends to leave us all at a slight monetary disadvantage.

Well… they promised you early entry into the park…
but apparently that doesn’t necessarily guarantee early “use” of the park.
Finally, the masses started moving towards Radiator Springs.
“the cutest little town in Carburetor County.”
So you’re tellin’ me that there wasn’t a mad dash for the Fun Wheel?
I’ll take an aside to mention one thing. As bad as Rope Drops are at WDW… and I’m including the past cluster that was the TSMM frenzy, I think it is crazier at DL. I mean people were flat out running.
“ Okay, here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed…”
Does sound like quite the mad house.
Funny thing.
Not one single CM thought to mention that RSR wasn’t operating.
Detailes, detailes…
Just never satisfied, are ya’?
…as we got to TSMM we found a familiar scene.
CM’s standing in front of a rope telling everyone the attraction is closed.
“Oh, for the love of Chrysler!”
This is starting to get neigh on to comical.
We were determined to do something, so DW took the kids to King Triton’s Carousel…
”Respect the classics, man!”
…while I walked right on to California Screamin’.
Not what I had planned for my first ride to be at Disneyland, but certainly not a bad choice!
Works for me.
‘bout time y’all got to ride something… anything…
…quickly rode TSMM with just a short wait.
That’s much better; things are starting to pick up a bit.
The kids absolutely had a blast on this ride. As did I.
And that’s one you can’t catch anywhere else.
Given the theming of the restaurant, the menu is somewhat seafood heavy. I’ll eat seafood, but it just isn’t usually my first choice. Unless it is fried.
”I'm on one of them there special diets.
I am a precisional instrument of speed and aeromatics.”

Mmmmmmmmm…
She was far more interested in watching the princesses.
It’s a Princess-apalooza!
I do believe your little girl there was ”happier 'n a tornado in a trailer park!”
DD was talking to Cinderella about eating at her castle. To us, we could tell she was clearly referring to our dinner at CRT about a month ago. Apparently jet lag had gotten the best of Cinderella and she couldn’t quite make that connection. She kept correcting DD that it wasn’t her castle, it was Sleeping Beauty’s castle.
I think she enjoyed being able to drive the bumper car.
A foreshadowing of driving lessons to come…
But on the way out, we saw Flik out for his meet and greet. I was only joking when I pointed to him and asked DD if she wanted to go say hi.
I know, I’m cruel.
Yep… That one was a just might high on the “mean daddy” scale.
We only did half of Bug’s Land because we’d frankly had enough… and because it was time to go ride RSR!!!
Yeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaw!
In the end, it worked fine, because he said he’d ride again if we came back tomorrow.
Well see, but for now that’s a big check in the win column.
When we exited, I had a text from DW saying they were riding Luigi’s Flying Tires. DS and I headed into the line, but actually got on right after they got off. After we rode, we all got in line and rode again.
…I’ve got to say that I’m sorry this ride is gone. Our kids absolutely loved it!!! It was easily DD’s favorite ride.
Cause she got to run into things again. (More of that foreshadowing?)
And you got to experience that one before it shut down.
Y’all made up for that mornings raged start quite nicely.
Quite nicely indeed.
