So when we go to Adventureland we headed right for Pirates! There was about a 5 minute wait for Jungle Cruise, so we walked up to ride that first instead. However we got there the same time as a MASSIVE tour group that was pushing a shoving. It was getting me angry so we decided to come back later.
There was about a 5 minute wait posted for Pirates as well, which was probably about right. I just love this ride, especially after the movies came out and they re-did it to add Johnny Depp!
We then we to my favorite ride, Splash Mountain! I do NOT remember getting this wet before!!!! What did they do?!
No Joey there, either!! It was time for Haunted Mansion. I love the part when the ghost sits in your doom buggy! So funny!
We then did a bunch of rides before I got hungry again.
Time to stop for lunch! I'd read so much about Columbia Harbor House here on the DIS that I just had to try it. They have a yummy vegetarian sandwich and it was AWESOMEEEEE! Here's a picture of the cute sign outside:
We went back to our hotel for a quick nap, and when we got there we saw this guy outside of our window! So we never found Joey, but we did make a new friend
We woke up and had some drinks at the pool bar and I had some Zebra Domes since OhioDisneyLover told me I had to try them! They were awesome, and worth "spoiling my dinner" for. When we got back to the park we rode the TTA and passed this:
It's the old SkyRide in Tomorrowland! The one in Fantasyland isn't bad, but this one is just plain creepy. You can still see the exit signs etc. and it just gives me the heebie jeebies for some reason! When I was just there again in May it DID look like they were doing something with it - thank God!!!
The one thing Belle was talking about before we left was "that pineapple ice cream!" AKA Dole Whip! So we ate dinner at the Plaza but saved room for dessert that we could eat while we watched Wishes.
YUM! So we spent our last night eating this ice cream and watching:
WISHES! My favorite Disney show. I know it is cheesy, but for those few minutes you are watching Wishes in front of the castle you think about Walt and how he dreamed of this huge, amazing place. And how if he could do THAT, then there is NO reason we all can't do little things and accomplish small goals. I love it.
We had a great time - as usual. Belle and I met freshman year of college when we were randomly paired up to be roommates. We are still good friends, but Belle graduated (I have one more quarter left because I took time off to do an internship!) and is moving to California. I'm going to miss her, but we are going to Las Vegas for my birthday in a couple weeks and I can't wait. PLUS, she will be SUPER close to Disneyland - what a great excuse to go visit!!
That's all for now, guys. Thanks so much for reading and following along. I plan on going back to Disney in December with an anti-Disney mom. It's my goal to make her love it like I do, so I may just have to do a PTR/TR so you guys can help me accomplish that goal! Thanks again, everyone!!
