It’s nice to see Lightning McQueen during the parade.
We can’t forget about Mater.
While the parade was going down on Hollywood Land, we were trailing the parade going down all the way towards Buena Vista Street so we can get out of the park and head on over to DL that day.
It took quite a while to walk behind the parade and head on out. I always have to get some pictures of BVS while we were walking on out of DCA.
We exited and now over at DL. It was quite a little busy that time around 5:45pm to enter DL where the turnstiles took a few minutes to get through.
There were people staking out a spot for the 6:30pm Mickey’s Soundsational Parade on MS. I talked to a CM to talk about the new Frozen pre-parade float. I read on the threads that the Frozen pre-parade float is only available before the 4pm parade. Unfortunately since we got stuck at our hotel where the ECV came later that day, we weren’t able to see the float. Just as I expected, the float is only available before the 4pm parade.
When we were walking down MS, DAW was getting hungry as well as me. We didn’t eat a meal on the road when we came down to Anaheim. It is rare that we don’t stop for food on the way. While we were in MS, there was a restaurant that I haven’t ate for a while and it seems like a good place to eat. There was something for DAW as well. The restaurant was the Plaza Inn. We have ate at the Plaza Inn during character breakfast with Minnie & Friends and I haven’t ate there during lunch in ages. So it was nice to be able to eat at the Plaza Inn for dinner.
I have read from another trip report about their experience at the Plaza Inn during lunch/dinnertime and saying how good the food at the Plaza Inn was at that I should consider eating there one day where I haven’t eat there in ages.
Current Menu at the Plaza Inn during lunch/dinner.
We were able to eat inside the Plaza Inn and it was really crowded inside where it was warm outside. Luckily it wasn’t that hot that time and good thing that we didn’t need a jacket.
I had the Plaza Inn Specialty the three pieces of chicken, with mash potatoes & grave with a biscuit and vegetables. I was so stuff eating all the plate that I couldn’t even finish it all. It was so nice to be able to eat the chicken at the Plaza Inn that I don’t know what I have missed over the years that I have passed by the Plaza Inn.
DAW had the glazed salmon with couscous, salsa and vegetables. When we got our food, the salmon was not on the menu when we entered the Plaza Inn. It was a little surprise and also not a big surprise since the different websites that don’t have the salmon on the menu. There are times when there are special dishes during the seasons from the Halloween, Christmas, summertime etc. She was glad that she had a dish that she could eat. She did say that the salmon was a little overcook. It could have been when the salmon was sitting out in the warmer.
After we had our dinner at the Plaza Inn, we started to move on to our next destination that night. Since it was around 6:30pm, the second show of Mickey’s Soundsational Parade just started and is coming from Main Street Town Square. There was no way we were going down on MS, so we head on over to New Orleans Square.
Walking right by the Hub as we are trying to avoid getting stuck during the second show of Mickey’s Soundsational Parade.
We were in NOS and DAW had to use the restroom so we had to walk the other way towards the NOS Railroad station since the alleyway towards the restroom is closed off due to Club 33 construction. It will be nice when the alleyway in NOS is completed.
After we used the restroom, we started to go to our next destination. But that will be on the next updates.
