We went to DLR for a very short trip--2 nights! We were there April 18-20 and had a blast. Made full use of almost 3 days in the parks.
I flew down to Long Beach and DD drove down from San Luis Obsipo and picked me up at the airport bright and early. We drove to the hotel, checked in and they noted we had requested a room over the lobby, preferably 3rd floor. We dropped off our bags then headed straight to DL. We'd planned an Adventureland theme for our first day so we both dressed accordingly. I felt slightly self-conscious on the plane but got over it quickly
We headed for Adventureland and were disappointed that Indy was closed, but that's the way it goes. We got on the Jungle Cruise and sat right in front next to the skipper. He liked us and he was quite funny, too. We could tell he enjoyed having an appreciative audience sitting right there. Did HM, Pirates, etc. Lines were pretty short at that point.
Found a TS's res on the app for 11:30 am and booked it. We took the monorail over and got to sit in the nose There was a cute family of 3 with us and we all enjoyed sitting up front, but our captain was apparently having a very bad day. She never smiled or acknowledged any of us. Her loss 
Hoofed it over to TS's and had a blast sitting at the bar! Ordered drinks and a shared platter, but man, my drink was like pure alcohol. I'd ordered a Zombie so I expected strong, but I mean to tell you, there was NO juice in that puppy! I took a sip and literally choked, ha ha! I've had zombies there in the past so it wasn't like I didn't know what it was supposed to taste like. DD had gotten a shark drink? It was blue with strawberry stuff in it. It tasted nice but I tend to avoid food coloring in myt drinks . Mine was made by a young guy and hers was made by a very nice woman who noticed I wasn't drinking mine and quietly removed it and asked what I'd like so I just ordered the same as DD's since it did taste good. MUCH better. We had so much fun--DD was so sure the tiki eyes were specifically following her. Everyone got into the special effects and DD's stool very slowly descended without her awareness of it. When she finally noticed, it was hilarious and she loved it!
We were then able to check into our room and it was perfect! Right on the 3rd floor, right off the little lobby!! Fantastic!
Adventuring!
In this picture, that door on the left is our room just off the 3rd floor lounge. The next shows more of the lounge.
