Amusing stories from an AP frequent visitor :)

[romymichelle21]

How come DIS never told me I had replies?

I don't think I could explain how to ride a turnstile, but I can definitely demonstrate it! I recently told DB, "You know I'm gonna do that again someday". He said, "Oh, I know, trust me"

My brain, it seems, miscalculates the speed at which I'm turning the bar on the turnstile, compared with the speed I'm walking through it. The result is painful, but memorable.

However, please do not try this at home - leave the stunts to professionals

Thanks for 'bumping' this back up. I enjoyed reading your report, and sorry, but yeah, I laughed when you hit your thigh. But, believe me, it was a sympathetic laugh as I've had run-ins with turnstyles before & actually had the wind knocked out of me - so I approach them carefully now. I'm also recovering from a bad bruise/bump from crashing at a hotel bathtub (it wasn't pretty) two weeks ago.

My kids have seen Maynard a couple of times - seen his evil twin, and his finger puppets. But, I haven't had the pleasure yet.

Oh, and Mulholland Madness. My son was on that attraction when he was pretty young, and got stuck at the top. He had to walk down all those stairs. I was so nervous.

Lô¿ôking forward to reading more.

 

[heatherleigh]

Please give another update after your next trip (hopefully soon.) I am also a little nervous about the Tower of Terror. It just doesn't seem like something I'd like much. It's a ride that drops, kind of like the stratosphere, right?

 

[romymichelle21]

You guys want more?? Alright, you asked for it...

We went in June, for my birthday (the 11th) the following weekend because I practically begged to go on a weekend. Our passes make them off-limits, and Will (DB) would never do a weekend because of the crowds.

I, however, had never seen Fantasmic (at DL, anyway) or The Electric Parade - and since they only do those on weekends - that's what I wanted! That week happened to be his younger sister's birthday too (she was turning 12), so his family was coming down that weekend to go to DL for her anyway. He got us a separate hotel room and we all went together!

The first day, Saturday, we all went to dinner at Blue Bayou because I'd gotten reservations for our whole party - which turned out to be awesome, because his mom had tried to get reservations and they had nothing available - so I saved the day! During dinner, his sister (the birthday girl - there is another one who is 10) knocked his very sticky Roy Rodgers into his lap, and all over his plate. Needless to say, he was not amused. He refused to hang out with them for the rest of the night and we went straight over to California Adventure after he de-stickied his lap.

Upon entering at the front gates, I immediately smashed my leg into the turnstiles. Again. Other thigh - exact same spot. Will was several feet ahead of me, and the look on his face when he turned around was priceless He laughed at me, I laughed at myself, and we limped around like dorks for awhile. (Bum leg, sticky crotch-al region...) Eventually, I reached down and felt my leg, and discovered this MASSIVE lump which I promptly made Will touch - and when he went, "Oh my God! What is that??", I freaked out and went to the ladies room to check it out. I mean, what if I was hemorrhaging internally?? Anyway, it was gross. I mean, you could see the profile of it from the side, gross. But my leg wasn't falling off - so we continued on.

He decided we should swing by Downtown Disney and see Indiana Jones (as he pre-bought our tickets from his iPhone), so we hobbled over there. Saw it, loved it, and then it was time for the Electric Parade! But - oh no - 10 minutes?! Never fear, Will has a "shortcut". It turned out to be the Downtown Disney entrance to the Grand Californian, through the lobby, and out the California Adventure exit - right near the parade.

I loved it, and we ran back to DL to find his family, who had absolute front-and-center spots in front of the castle for the fireworks. Yay! Then we hightailed it to Fantasmic, and found some spots on a wall to sit on for the show. Totally different from the WDW version - but both are awesome.

At some point, we all went on Splash Mountain, which led to one of my favorite moments from the trip:

Will's sister - "Willllllll, my butt is wet!"
Will - "Yeah?? Well my crotch is sticky!!"

We did more stuff, and went back to the hotel for the night.

 

[romymichelle21]

Sunday, Will opted to stay at the hotel and study for the BAR exam (which he has since taken and will receive the results for in November! ).

So, I went with his family by myself. On our way to the tram out of the Mickey & Friends parking lot, we walked past an empty tram - out of service - and some CMs hanging out on it. They saw our birthday buttons and wished us happy birthday - to which Will's sister replied, "Thanks! Hey, can we ride THIS tram?". They laughed and said no. A split-second later, one of them changed their mind and said, "Well, hey, sure - why not! We got two birthday girls! Take 'em up to the entrance and we'll make this a special ride!".

What?! Score!! We all piled in, and as we started to move, he goes - "Wave goodbye to all the people!" - so we did It was the VIP experience, for sure. On the way, I texted Will, and he was beyond disbelief that he missed this.

Eventually we made our way over to California Adventure, and discovered that Toy Story Mania was open a few days ahead of schedule! Cool!! So we got in line, and it was only about 45 minutes, which I've heard is really short from people who have gone on it since the official opening. The only thing I can guess is that no one was really expecting it - and therefore people weren't flocking into the park specifically for it. Anyway, it was awesome! Will still hasn't gone, but he'll love it. (He always kicks my butt at Astro Blasters).

Oh! And we found Push! (The talking trashcan). I've always wanted to see him. I knew already to look out for his "handler", but Will's sister's didn't, so they couldn't figure out how he works (which is the point). Once we pointed him out - they started following the poor guy around, and he was trying to get away before they drew attention to him!

After the Pixar Play Parade (which Will and I love - and his family does now too), everyone went to dinner and I stayed in the park to wander around and take pictures. Those would be the 'pretty' ones in the last post.

I met up with them at the restaurant in Downtown Disney, and finally got a mostly un-blurry picture of the lit-up trees! We watched the fireworks from there, hung out at World of Disney for over an hour (no joke - and I thought I took forever!) and told Will - repeatedly - we'd be by the hotel "soon" to pick him up and be on our way. They live in Northern Cali, so they were planning a late night drive back home after dropping me off.

At the last minute - they decided to use the Space Mountain fast passes they had, so I took the opportunity to swing back by the Adventureland gift shop that I love, and buy the Bush Baby I've had my eye on for months

We left, picked up Will, and were on our way. Everyone but the driver was asleep within 10 minutes.



... BUT, since he didn't get to enjoy the park most of the time, we're going again soon! Now that it's off-season (which he's very excited about), our passes are good - and the parks will be empty! We'll probably go towards the end of September, or in October, and I'll try to have lots of interesting moments to write about

If you want to see the REAL "Push!" - click here!! (It's a spoiler).

Oh, yeah, trust me - the other day I said to Will, "You know I'm gonna do that again someday, right?". He said, "Oh, believe me, I know."

He's so cute though - he goes through the turnstiles first, then turns back to sloooowly rotate the bar for me, and hold my hand as I go through!!

And Heather - yes, it's just a drop ride! You go up a few stories, then drop. Then go back up, and drop. It seems like a random choice each time, but the DL version is exactly the same every ride. The WDW one is on a system that randomly generates the drops for every ride, so you never know at what point you'll fall. I was a less freaked out by Tower of Terror than I was about California Screamin', though! (I did not do loop coasters before that - now it's one of my favorites!).

 

[JustMickey]

OMG! I can't believe you got another huge bruise from that turnstile! OUCH!!

 

[romymichelle21]

Oh, yeah! I was not surprised, neither was Will

I actually expect it to happen again at some point. The funny thing is, sometimes that spot on my leg gets sore, and I tell Will it gets like that when I need to go back to DL

We're curious if I'd be able to get one of them fancy line cut passes by explaining that I'm not injured, but will be at some point later in the day

(Not that I would actually abuse the handicapped pass).

 

[TinkandPooh]

I guess this 'trip report' is a little different - since DB and I are AP holders, there are *lots* of trips to report - so I thought I'd post some highlights for all you fellow Disney fans

Oy, where to start? Well, I was lucky enough to meet DB early this year, and discover he was a Disneyland fanatic! I really haven't been to the park much in my life, so I had a lot of "firsts" this year

* California Adventure
* The Matterhorn
* Mark Twain Riverboat
* Indiana Jones
* Rockin' Space Mountain
* Blue Bayou
* Tower Of Terror (I have been to WDW - but didn't go on it there either)
* Astro Blasters
* Seeing everything decorated for Halloween
* Haunted Mansion Holiday
* Seeing everything decked out for Christmas!
* Thanksgiving Banquet at the Disneyland Hotel! (with DBs family)

Onto the stories!!

The Bruise
We decided to go on the Mark Twain Riverboat one morning, to kind of kill time. It looked like it was about to pull away - so DB took off running, and I ran after him (this is a regular thing for us at DL). Well, you have to go through turnstiles. Generally, turnstiles are your friend. They count people and... well, whatever. Except this time, I apparently miscalculated the speed at which I was running, as compared to the speed at which it was turning. Now - you all know how turnstiles work, right? So I assumed that when I pushed this bar, I would slide through, no problem. Well, when I pushed the top bar, the only thing that happened was that my thigh slammed into the lower bar with the entire force of me running full speed after DB . It hurt. A lot. I just about fell over in pain, and Will was already ON the boat (did I mention he runs?) before he realized I wasn't behind him, and came back. The workers in front of the boat looked quite horrified, and asked if I was ok - to which I replied that it was "his fault" - pointing at DB.

Now... I'm not complaining. I mean, it was comical. Painful, but funny. The moment I hit this thing though, I knew it was going to leave a pretty nasty mark. And believe me - it did not disappoint. I feel the need to throw as many descriptive words at it as possible because... well... "purple" doesn't even begin to describe it.

DB thought this was hilarious. Not in a mean way - he knows I'm accident prone. He felt really bad (honestly), but mostly he just teased me for limping all day And yes, I have pictures. What makes it so... amusing though, is that the Riverboat wasn't even close to leaving! We sat there for at least 10 mins before it even moved. Nice. So it was real necessary to rush, right?

Caution: Pregnant women and dorks should NOT ride the turnstiles.

Ariel's Grotto
I had wanted to check this place out for awhile, and we finally ended up over there. (Ahem - I really wanted to meet Ariel ). So anyway, we walk up to the hostess, and the conversation goes like this:

DB: "Are we in time to eat before the park closes?"
Hostess: "Yes... do you have a reservation?"
DB: "No"
Hostess: "Oh, we're checking in reservations"
DB: "Oh, so we can't get in unless we have one?"
Hostess: "Well... we're taking walk-ins right now"
DB: *blank stare* "Well... we're walking in..."
Hostess: *just kind of looks at him, confused*
DB: "However we get in, that's what we wanna do"
Hostess: "Oh, ok, go on in and go downstairs"

DB was dumbfounded. He was laughing on our way in, and when we were seated (after pictures with Ariel)... still laughing. At various times during the meal, he'd just start laughing. I mean, really, it amused him. Honestly, was it just us, or did what that girl told us not make ANY sense? Last time we were at the park and walked past the restaurant, he started laughing. Again.

I have to admit though, that has to be the most amusing eating experience I've ever had at DL. For instance, twice during the meal, someone had a birthday, and so the waiters make an announcement - that today is so-and-so's birthday, and the entire room (no joke) sings 'Happy Birthday' to the kid. The second time, we continued our conversation and didn't pay much attention, until... well... after every line, the waiter would yell, "WOO!!". Seriously. I laughed so hard I cried.

Me & DB with Ariel

Very excited after lunch, with a crown they gave me!

Space Mountain: No longer Rockin'
Our 1st trip this year, Rockin' Space Mountain was still up. Yeah - it was pretty awesome. DB had been on it before and was already a huge fan. Well, next time we went, it was back to normal. This made DB very sad, but we went on it anyway. While exiting, he mentions that he wished he had his iPod on him, so he could listen to "Higher Ground" (the Red Hot Chili Peppers song they played for Rockin') during the ride. I said that I had mine in my purse - and... well... puppy dog eyes and 3 minutes later, we were getting back onto the ride and he was adjusting my earbuds. The pictures? Priceless. He was air-guitaring. We exit, and guess what? That was so awesome, we have to do it again! Third ride in 15 minutes - in that picture, he's drumming. He now makes sure to remember his iPod every time, and never rides without his Chili Peppers . We recommend this to um, 'enhance' the ride, if anybody is interested.

Mulholland Madness: Worst ride ever
This one isn't so much a "story" as it is just... a suggestion. Do not ride Mulholland Madness unless you are a child. Period. DB noted during one visit that he actually had never been on it, which is crazy since he's been an AP holder basically his entire life. So of course - we ride. Two regular sized adults in one tiny roller coaster car, if you could even really call it a roller coaster. I'd call it a joke. But anyway. Well - it terrified the daylights out of both of us, I kid you not! Those little cars do not feel stable - in fact they feel like every time you turn, the wheels on one side are coming clear off the tracks, and you're going to tip over and fall 2 or 3 stories. We spent those couple minutes leaning, panicked, to the opposite side, to prevent this from happening . I've never felt more insecure on a ride in my life! Does anyone else think this too? I've had it confirmed by a male friend of mine who also apparently felt like he was going to die on that ride. I would, however, ride it again - just to show someone else how terrifying it is .

The search for Maynard continues...
I'm not the only one who knows about Maynard, right? Well, to make it short, about 5 years ago a friend and I were planning our Grad Nite trip, and I discovered Hiddenmickeys.org and the Disneyland/Cast Member page. Several people have written in and mentioned their favorite Cast Member, Maynard. I mentioned how cool this guy supposedly was to my friend, and we decided we HAD to find and meet him when we went. Unfortunately, we never made the Grad Nite trip, but after all this time - I've decided to resume the search! On a recent visit with DB, I decided to ask a Cast Member at Indiana Jones if Maynard still worked at the park. He immediately knew who I was referring to - and informed me that he did indeed still work there, and had been frequenting the Opera House lately! It was pretty near closing that night though, and DB and I didn't make it over to the Opera House (which is, as it happens, the '50 Years of Disney' building on Main St - in case you didn't know, because we sure didn't). This last trip though, we decided to watch the show while the park cleared out just after the fireworks at the end of the night. I thought I saw Maynard - I was so excited! And DB informed me that, no, that was not Maynard, that was just some old guy . Well... it looked like him from the side! Note: Maynard is not an old guy, but I've seen pictures where he's lacking in the hair, hence the confusion. So we left, but I had a reason to call my friend the following night! "I almost saw Maynard! Well... really it was an old guy... but it could've been him!". I've tried to explain this whole thing to DB. You know - why we've been searching for one particular Cast Member for 5 years. I got a blank stare. I guess if you're not part of the inside joke, ya know?

Hope you guys have enjoyed reading!

Love your stories!!!!!! Sorry about the injury or should I say injuries.

I have to say that when I got to the part of your post that was about MulHolland Madness I started laughing sooooooo hard!!!
We too feel the same way on this ride and the odd thing is that every time we go (we are also regualr AP holders so it is often) we head over to that ride just so we can scare the heck out of ourselves!!!! For some unknown reason that ride is the one out of all the rides in both parks that really gets me and each time we go back I forget just a bit, until I get back on how terrified I really get on that ride

PrimeEvil Whirl in Florida at Dinsey's Animal Kingdom is alot like this ride and scared us just as much but it has a twist, your cars also spin on the tracks!!!

So if you ever get over to Florida.....if you have not been already then hit that ride as well.

Anyhow thanks for sharing that story!!!! I loved it!!!

 

[romymichelle21]

Of course, I just read about all the things they're changing in California Adventure - and Mulholland Madness is set to stay! Yep, they're just re-theming it. I think they could put something much cooler there, but whatever, eh?

I have been to WDW, but not on that. In fact... there's a lot of things I missed when I went I got really sick 2 days into our trip, so spinny/whooshy/droppy rides were out!

We're going again next week so I'm sure I'll have more to add then!

 

[hurleysweety]

I love reading your stories! I'm so clumsy im surprised I haven't run into any turnstiles...yet! DH would probably have the same reaction as your DB too.

I'm excited to hear about your next trip...hopefully ugly-bruise-free!

PrimeEvil Whirl in Florida at Dinsey's Animal Kingdom is alot like this ride and scared us just as much but it has a twist, your cars also spin on the tracks!!!

So if you ever get over to Florida.....if you have not been already then hit that ride as well.

I've been on both of these "jerky" rides.
DH and I went on this PrimeEvil Whirl this past June without knowing much about it. I, who love thrills and drops, hated the ride. In reflection, I just hated the spinning and jerkiness...in other words, I would much rather freefall. DH doesn't like drops, but seemed to like the ride a lot (he LOVES the teacups). Perfect match, I know... lol

As for the DL crazy coaster...I've been on it once in May 2007 with my sister. We thought it was lame and something more suited for a state fair or carnival...seriously felt like it was going to fall apart at anytime beneath us.

Probably won't be going on either one again

 

[romymichelle21]

My next trip starts tomorrow! I just made last minute reservations at Paradise Pier for 1 night - $139 with our AP discount!

I've never stayed at a Disney hotel before, so I'm excited

We'll be going tomorrow and Weds! I'm sure I'll injure myself somehow between the 2 days

I'll be back probably next week to update the ridiculous stories!

Oh and Hurleysweety - the pictures of you and DH in your siggy are so cute!

 

[romymichelle21]

Ok, my most RECENT trip report! A little more detailed than the others cuz I'm copying this from my other blog

Here ya go...


That morning, Will had a meeting with his boss in Bev Hills. We hadn't eaten yet by mid-afternoon when we got to the hotel, but he wanted to wait for "monkey meat" - which is what his family calls the beef skewers at Bengal BBQ in Adventureland. Finally we were at Paradise Pier - and I was so excited! He was laughing at what a newbie I am, since this was the first hotel reservation I've ever done on my own (Which, by the way, was ridiculously discounted with my AP - $139 from $230!). I was just mentioning that I hoped they didn't charge for keeping your room key - when we were given them and they have our NAMES printed on them!! How cool is that? (Ok, that might be standard for any Disney hotel, but I still think it's pretty damn cool).

Room:

View: (What the heck? I think it's the pool area)

The first thing he did when we got into the room was "call" the Mickey Mouse bottle of lotion. ("Mine! You can have the shampoo and that other crap".)

Then we changed and ran off to find the quickest walking route to DL! Which, by the way, is across the street through the Grand Californian lobby and through the Downtown Disney exit

View from hallway:

I suggested we hit Midway Mania first, since he hadn't seen it last time, but he wanted to walk down Main St. first - and get his "monkey meat". (One skewer is never enough - he gets 4 or 5). I didn't want monkey meat, so he carried it around till we found something I wanted.

We finally went over to Midway Mania and got in line - where Potato Head was doing his thing, and Will was slightly unimpressed right at first. But then these annoying girls behind us kept screaming, "MR. POTATO HEAD, TAKE OFF YOUR EAR!!" Like, over and over. And over. Luckily, he said to them, "I heard that you hockey puck!" I was getting a short video of him for Kyla, and right when I turned it off, Mr. Potato head says - "What do I gotta do to make you guys happy, pull off my ear??", and we turned around in disbelief! Then he actually did it!

Not my video - but same thing (although he seems kinda glitchy here): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhpv_CerF-c

And I found this one of him accidentally dropping it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-PyrCJDLKs

I donno if you guys have seen that, but it's pretty cool. Try it next time! (If you yell something random at him, he'll look at you out of the corner of his eye and give you the stink face - Will told him, "Get a job!").

Anyway, so we load up in the ride cars, and Will is confused about the pull-string. He was expecting a trigger like Astro Blasters. As soon as we're off, he goes, "We gotta do that again!! I have to beat my score".

First ride: (He's obviously the higher score)

Second ride:

We did some more ride stuff, hung out until closing, and walked over to Rainforest Cafe for dinner. Sit on the patio next time, by the way, if you don't have kids with you who want to see the animatronic tree and stuff. They had heaters on and it was really nice and quiet out there.

Waterfall thingie:

I love this sign:

When we finished and walked back to the hotel, he suggested we take the 'scenic route', the walkway alongside the DL Hotel, where we found... the wedding gazebo!! I always thought it would be in the hotel's 'backyard', so to speak, and we were surprised that it actually faces the little street that runs alongside Downtown Disney. Kinda weird - I guess park and hotel guests can just walk by and watch your wedding? (Still, that doesn't deter me from wanting to get married there).

Wedding gazebo:

Unfortunately, we got 2 queen beds instead of 1 king, so rather than have Will push them together - like he did last time - I told him he could just leave it, since he'd be laying on "his" bed anyway (and not like, in the middle). When he has room, he sleeps like he fell down mid jumping-jack! I have a hard time waking his butt up in a hotel because the curtains make it so dark in there, but he agreed that I could try in the morning anyway.

I was half asleep in the morning when I started hearing the people in the room next door, just talking, but it sounded like TV. Then some man stepped into the hall and yelled, "Have a nice day at work!". I donno what that was all about. Will wanted to sleep a little bit more, so I got all ready by myself (which is actually better - because he can't stand to wait for me - especially when we're "wasting precious Disneyland time"). I was standing in front of the bathroom door when I heard WHACK!! against the front door, and some mom yell, "See, that's why!!" - and immediately the kid (who had fallen into the door) started crying, and the mom then yells, "No, you pushed her!"

It sounds sad, but it was hilarious. (Later, at breakfast, we made up a story about the guy who was yelling earlier and the mom & kids). I wasn't sure what time the Carnation Cafe stopped serving breakfast, so I called the front desk. She wasn't sure, but said she'd check and call me back in the room. How nice! Like 2 minutes later, the phone rang and she said 11:00. (It was about 10:20 then). So we hightailed it outta there (checking out - so we put our stuff back in the car first) and managed to make it to Carnation with plenty of time to spare. I'd never had breakfast AT Disney, so I was really excited about my first Mickey waffles! The Dapper Dans were singing across the 'street', and Will loves them, so he was grinning the whole time. (Of course after, I offered to take his picture with them, and his eyes lit up like a kid!!).

Mmm, Mickey waffles...

Cute mini orange (or some form of citrus?) tree with... a hidden Mickey!!

Dapper Dans:

How freakin' cute is this? Seriously?

We managed to hold out on food until 4 when our Blue Bayou reservation was. Most of the day we spent in CA, until they closed (the Halloween party was that night). We got a Fastpass for Screamin', which wasn't entirely necessary since there was only a 10 minute standby line, but he wanted to do Midway Mania while we waited. When we got back to Screamin', it was the shortest Fastpass line I've ever been in! We literally walked right up to the front, no one was ahead of us. Bizarre. So we get on, the car starts to move, and no music is playing. Weird, but whatever. Then it goes over to the launch area, and they start the countdown. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! ... Nothing happens. Oook. They start the countdown again. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! A split second passes, long enough for us to think, "Yeah ri-" and then WHOOSH - we're all jerked back in our seats. The music was missing through the whole ride, and I can't remember if most coasters usually have music or not, but it was eerie. I actually started singing just to break the silence. So that picture of us? Yeah, that's why we look so damned confused.

Whee!?

Later, we were on our way to check in at Blue Bayou, and Will spots Jack! Jack Sparrow!! I've been looking for that guy ever since we first went - and this was trip 9 and 10! Of course, there was a ridiculous line (of all little girls - it was really cute), so I just took a picture of him with someone else. Will is so cute - he hates me stopping to take pictures every 5 minutes, but when he sees something he knows I love - he goes, "Quick, get your camera!!"

Mr. Sparrow and 2 lovely young ladies:

We ate, and it was awesome as always (I don't know why I always hear that the food is mediocre?).

Blue Bayou:

And we managed to ride Astro Blasters 3 times - where we were exiting through the gift shop and I saw...

The cutest Wall-E ever! So I vowed to get it before we left that night. (And obviously, I did).

Buzz 1:

Buzz 2:

We tried Splash Mountain, but the line was soooo long, so we did Space and a couple other things before calling it a night and heading to the Monorail station. (Where I got to sit and watch the Nemo Subs for awhile before it showed up). We still haven't gone on the Nemo Subs.

Nemo Subs:

As we were exiting the Monorail station in Downtown Disney, just after walking through the turnstiles, I told Will - "Woohoo! I made it through the WHOLE TRIP without whacking myself on the turnstiles!!"

In fact, the only bruise I brought home was this one,

Right on the corner of my wrist. (My hand isn't that fat, either ). That's from when I was teasing Will after his 1st Midway Mania ride, and we had a tickle-fight, where I whacked my hand on the back of the ride car.

Sadly, it would've been a funnier trip if I'd hurt myself again. But hey - there's always next time, right?

 

[romymichelle21]

Some more assorted pictures

Pretty!

Ok, Will and I can't agree - is this the owl from Sleeping Beauty, or Sword In The Stone??

Same with the squirrel??

We were waiting for our breakfast at Carnation Cafe and I got bored. But, it looks kinda nice

San Francisco!

I snuck around the corner and took this while he sat there listening to Forrest Gump.

Yee-haw!

Hey, this elevator doesn't sound very... ahhhhhhh!

Haunted Mansion Holiday - Doombuggy entrance -

Bubbles

Mickey pumpkin!

I love Halloweentime at DL.

Candy Corn Acres at CA,

This is how Californians grow Candy Corn -

Inside the walls of Small World during its refurb (the train goes through here) -

A model of the upcoming changes to CA.

Tower of Terror!

This doll always creeps me the hell out.

But this lamp looked really cool,

I just thought this looked pretty -

So, I tried to get a picture of us, but I'm too short to hold the camera...

And then Will tried, but I guess he's too tall to hold the camera...

 

[Alex2kMommy]

I loved all your pictures! But my favorites are "citrus hidden Mickey" and the one of Will and the Dapper Dans.

 

[romymichelle21]

Thanks! Will gets so excited when he sees those guys. He does the arm thing and starts singing in the middle of Main St! If I didn't think it was so cute, I'd be embarassed
