Junkyard is medium spinny, tons of fun but if you don't like spinny, I'd skip it. Yes I heard about folks getting stuck YIKES, that could be panic attack inducing.
I cannot believe how much you got done with your DCA EMH, just craziness. Two trips this year and I don't feel like I rode all that many rides! Clearly I wasn't focused enough but then again, you guys do have mad commando skills.
Love the meet with Brenda, she is a sweetheart! Emmy and her DH too. I am glad you liked Carthay, people really seem to. I can't seem to get past the limited menu for the price, nothing on it excites me and when it doesn't, I get cheap. LOL!
All caught up. For now.
I am disappointed that I didn't try Junkyard Jamboree. I think I would have been ok, but nobody else had any interest. It certainly wasn't anything we thought was worth waiting for.
We were pretty happy with our pace on this trip. We did get a lot done, but our biggest obstacle was ride breakdowns.
That's cool! I didn't know there was another scene available.
Exciting!
Lunch looks really good, and if it comes with a special viewing area, bonus!
Grizzly River Run looks cool, glad you got to go through the single rider line. It does look a lot like Kali!
Yes, there is a second scene which seems a lot rarer, at least to us. But unlike the Cowboy scene, I don't think Luigi is far superior to Ramone's scene, just a less seen scene.
We liked knowing we had a guaranteed viewing area for WoC.
Grizzly River Run was good, just not as interesting to me as Kali. I am so glad they made the announcement about the Single Rider Line. It was perfect for me!
Without doubt Bluto's is my family's all-time favourite ride
I didn't know the Cowboy scene was a rarity on the GMR??
How did I not know this 
We have gotten this scene on more than one occassion and I didn't even realise we were lucky!
I must pay more attention on the Dis.
I must pay more attention on the DIS.
There that's as many punishment lines as I'm doing otherwise I won't have enough time to read and thus pay attention 
Our two previous trips to Universal/IoA have been in July, when the drenching at Bluto's is welcome. That will probably not be the case in February, if the ride is even operating!
Really? You have seen the Cowboy scene a lot? We have just seen it once.
You are absolved!
Lunch looks REALLY GOOD!!!!
I am debating if we go next year to do the WoC dining package or not. We had actually a better spot when we went in using FPs. But we did wait a while and it was really chilly that night
I agree, definitely a wolf!
Like you said, you can get a pretty decent spot with Fast Pass, but we liked having a guaranteed spot. Plus, we had a LOT of elbow room- people were not crowding us at all.
And the meal was AWESOME!
Dee, playing catch up...again.
you got the Cowboy. I mean Luigi.
I know people often think the Cowboy is a figment of our imagination.
Lunch looks really yummy. I love tempura shrimp and I'm now drooling over the plate.
The Grizzly River looks fun. Was it at least longer than Kali? I love Kali (Mark hates it because he hates getting wet), but it's so short of a ride.
The most exciting thing ever is when you pass right through those gangster gates without stopping! The boys and I got the Cowboy Scene on GMR exactly once, and Mark was off getting Fast Passes for ToT!
Nate loves, loves, loves tempura shrimp. I think that is one of the reasons we ultimately chose Carthay Circle. There are two other restaurants that offer the World of Color package.
Yes, I think GRR is longer than Kali. I was not impressed that I didn't get soaked.
Oh wow, I got caught up before you left DL. Love reading about your trip. Makes me really think I will try to make a trip when visiting my mom in AZ. Down side is it will be more time before I get to WDW. I don't know how others Dis. I read every comment, then look up menus, and now look up rides. No wonder I get so far behind... This time when I was looking up rides my hubby, Chris made me hold the laptop so he could watch videos too. I think this might have convinced him we need a DL trip. Glad you and family are having a great time.
Good to see you back!
We loved
Disneyland, but WDW is still "home" for us.
Too funny about how much time DISing takes! I commented on another of my threads that logging on is like going down the rabbit hole. You look up and two hours have passed while reading and commenting.
Well I can see your confusion.
Glad his mum was able to calm him
