Subscribing! I just found your Pre-TR from your post on the Feb 2008 thread. 1st, I'm so sorry for all your losses this year. And 2nd, I have been having a blast reading this report. I have shed some tears and giggled and laughed out loud. I'm not even finished yet. I will come back later tonight to finish reading it.

I'm going to be at AK all day on the 11th eating at Boma and watching Spectra in the pm plan on getting back by 10pm,and the 12th I am at Epcot all day and staying fo Illuminations. Those are the only days I don't have much Pop time!!

 

[jordanyosh]

So you already know that I didn't attend the funeral.

Sunday, November 4th

On Sunday I was thinking of going to one of the following places:

Yosemite
Monterey
San Francisco

Well........I didn't go to any of those places. Why you ask?

One word. Football. Specifically, Patriots vs. Colts and Chargers vs. Vikings.
I know, I know. Pass up some beautiful locations for football.

If you have read my PTR, you know that I usually have church on Sundays. This was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.

Maybe I should've continued the road trip.....It was not a good day for my teams. Colts lost. Chargers lost. Niners lost (but that's normal). I even fell asleep during the games.

So after the games end, I leave my old roommates home and head back to Southern Cal.

I left about 5:30pm and got home around 9:30pm.

In bed by Midnight.

Monday, November 5th

I did promise road trip pictures. I thought long and hard about how I could deliver some good pics.......my roommate is not working (Countrywide Loans layoff).....so we decide to go to..



Disneyland!!!!!!!

It's only 10 minutes from my house, my roommate has an AP and I have some free passes from my cousin who works at Pixar.

It was a done deal.
I go nowhere without the binder:

Would we go to Disneyland or California Adventure? Stay tuned.....

 

[jordanyosh]

We arrived at the park and took the tram over:

We arrived at the front gate around 1pm. Not much of a line. I had to get a picture at the front. You'll notice I stand on the side in many photos. I was afraid of getting looks taking pictures w/ a binder. Believe me I did get some looks.

Had to get a picture of the castle. They must be getting ready for Xmas. There's snow on the castle. Looks pretty lame to me, but maybe people in So Cal don't know what snow looks like.

We went to Tomorrowland first:

Buzz Lightyear had a 10 minute wait. So we went there first. I did my best Zurg. I just can't be mean.

Star Tours? Busted...so we jammed over to Space Mountain to get a FastPass.......but look!!!! None needed. Another 10 minute wait.
I hadn't been on this since they upgraded it. It rides very smooth now. I kind of miss the "will I really die this time" shakiness of the the old track.

Oh by the way, Binder was not tall enough to ride Space Mountain.

Where did we go next....continued.....

 

[jordanyosh]

We head over to the Submarine Voyage, but the wait is 45 minutes. Should we wait? Naaaaaaaaah. I did get a picture with the binder and the subs.

We saw that the Matterhorn....had....no....line.....so we head right over.
I'm waving in tribute to my friend June.

Although the lines for attractions in Fantasyland weren't very long, we opted to stop only for a pic w/ the Sword, the Stone and the Binder:

We cut through Frontierland and went over to Adventureland to ride Indiana Jones, but I had to make a pit stop first:

Indy...no line. I think I like Dinosaur at AK a bit better. I like getting scared senseless. I also think Dinosaur assists in scrambling your brains a bit more.

continued.........

 

[jordanyosh]

After Indy we head over to Pirates. No line. We walked on. After the ride, my roommate had to use the restroom. I took a few pics while I was waiting:

New Orleans Square has begun to put up Xmas Decorations. What happened to Thanksgiving?

We head to the Haunted Mansion w/ the Nightmare Before Xmas makeover. This was the longest line at around 15 minutes. I like the regular HM better as I am not a big Tim Burton fan.

We then head over to Splash. I had to use the restroom again

Our last attraction was Pooh which is located in Critter Country not Fantasyland. When we exited the attraction, I noticed a Japanese Tour Group. I had to take a pic.

After only 4 hours, we decided to head over to ESPN Zone to watch MNF. On our way out I saw some more of my peeps.

We exited the park and got to ESPN..it was CLOSED!!!!!!!! They were having a private party..on a Monday...w/ MNF.....who schedules this?...............Oh well...we head home after that........

Disneyland is awesome but that "Little" castle always cracks me up.


Now, let's see if I remember this correctly:

MK Castle is Cinderella's right? so,

DL Castle is Sleeping Beauty? I think that's correct. Anyone know for sure?

You win a new fry daddy.

Oh by the way, Binder was not tall enough to ride Space Mountain.

You're gonna have to get binder some lifts for WDW so it will be able to go on more rides. Call Tom Cruise, he might have a pair you can borrow.

 

[pierresgirl]

Love it Jordan! The binder strapped into the seatbelt is great and I was to the Japanses tour group pic! If I went to Disneyland I'd be too busy looking for stars to concentrate on anything else

BTW- GO PATRIOTS!!!!!!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Your Disneyland mini-TR is great!

We're supposed to go to DL in December for my DH's birthday (his mom's choice, not his!)

I've never been to DL, but from your pics, it looks like fun!

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

You win a new fry daddy.

Woo Hoo!!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

i want a fry daddy, he is just going to put his stretchy shorts in them.

thanks for the pics on the road trip, i came back since you posted binder pictures. I love that you got looks while taking pictures with the binder...if you did not then you were doing something wrong...that is my moto, if you are not drawing attention to yourself, you need to try harder.



that castle is so small, i guess it decided to grow up and for the WDW park.

Keep up the good work
