Here's a quick recap of my quick Disneyland trip with Stitch...

We arrived at our hotel that I snagged on Priceline only to be "walked" to another location at 2:30am because they had a plumbing problem and gave our room to a guest that pitched a fit. *sigh*

Because of our late arrival, we slept in, drove to our new hotel and got to the park about 11:30am, had lunch and got in a 40 minute line for Indy. 2 and a quarter hours later, we were off the ride. Guess they were having technical difficulties.

In our first 7 hours at the park, we did 3 rides (4 if you count circling the park on the train) and ate two meals. We left the park, checked in to the hotel (Park Vue Inn - highly recommend it and the only possible better location is The Grand Californian) and then went back to use some FPs and see Fantasmic!! If you've never seen the DL version of Fantasmic, you really must. WDW's version doesn't hold a candle to it.

Day Two - We arrive right at park opening and head for Space. While waiting in line we chat with a mom, daughter and their family friend (teen boy). Stitch and he hit it off and I get ditched as a ride partner. They ended up sticking with us until 8pm that night, when I had plans to meet up with some park peeps. So, we got to play Tour Guide and introduced them to the joys of FP. They were only there for one day. This was his first time to DL and the mom and daughter had been several times, but never used FP before or been on the ToT. We got them on there and the 16 year old boy was terrified. He held my hand through the whole ride, but ended up loving it. We all had a good time touring together and it sounds like they got a lot more done with us than they had expected to be able to do. I got home to find that they had friended me on Facebook. So, we must have been ok company.

Had an all too short meet up for a ToT ride and WOC viewing with my park peeps!

Day Three: We arrive about 2 hours after park opening. Utilized FP and had a chance to ride more than I expected to. We were riding BTMRR and the ride was coming to the end when the Fantasmic fireworks started going off. Awesome way to end the ride!!! They couldn't have been timed any more perfectly.

I showed Stitch the heads hanging inside Pooh in preparation for our Country Bear Jamboree experience in a few weeks. Mr. Toad may have cordially deeded the WDW space to Pooh Bear and Owl, but I think it was a hostile takeover at DL!!!

As we are leaving Critter Country, the second showing of Fantasmic starts and I look over to see lots of space at the railing. So, I got a bonus second show and an AMAZING view of the Peter Pan scene. Wow! Then we took a final whirl on Indy, courtesy of FP. Indy has kind of become our first and last ride of our trips. Love it!

Can't finish up the trip without a little mishap or two, right? I apparently stayed left when I shouldn't have (or maybe it was right when I should have gone left? ) and ended up off of I-5. Didn't realize it until I stopped for gas and went to get back on the road. Took me about an hour and a half longer to get home because of it. Jason says it reminded him of Dumb and Dumber. I asked him which one I was and he just laughed. Kyle said he thinks I'm probably Dumb. Of course, I didn't say it, but wouldn't that make him Dumber???
