Day 1 Cont.
September 8, 2009
Let's play a little guessing game. I'm going to post a few photos and before I say what's next let's see if you can figure it out!
If you guessed .... Aladdin's Oasis - Congratulations!! I think it got a touch easier tot ell towards the end, right? Well, thanks for playing along with my simple trivia game here. I'm just trying to make this entertaining.
The only time I ever physically saw Aladdin and Jasmine at the Oasis was back when they were still doing their story time show, and for me that was back in 2007! I thought it was pretty cute and it was a shame to hear it was no longer in the parks, but what can you do? But walking by on our out-of-the-blue decision to head towards Tomorrowland and spotting a the pair of them
with a PhotoPass Photographer? Was I supposed to pass this up. This could have been my one and only shot at seeing Jasmine the whole week who I
never see, and certainly the only shot at seeing Aladdin. I was on a mission to hunt down as many characters as possible, let me tell you!
Dre didn't seem to in the mood for the photo op at the present time so I hit the line myself. I couldn't tell you what shenanigans she was up to, I simply remember that we split up for another short little minute because she is nowhere to be found in the photos and we had the
single-together-single routine of character picture taking down to a science.
It's not such a great shot with my camera. There was another but it was in so much motion it would make you dizzy sitting down!
A few minutes later I must have been looking for her in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Maybe you can help me find her? I was searching so hard I had to get down on my hands and knees to peek into the cracks of the sidewalk but I still couldn't find her.
We had decided to take a break from the Adventureland-New Orleans Square-Critter Country connection that we had made and go for my second first of the day: the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Again, how on earth is it possible that I have never been on this before? I mean, sure, I usually spent the least amount of time in Tomorrowland because Space Mountain and Star Tours both give me anxiety like there's no tomorrow, but what was I thinking when it came to Buzz? It was like, the funnest thing ever. And to top it off, I totally owned Dre, which was surprising because I got off to a rather cruddy start in my honest opinion. Not too bad for a 6 minute wait.
I won the game. The end.
Now, I believe that I will finish up the ending of our first day in my next post with a 3rd and final first for me at
Disneyland. We took a tour through Innoventions!
