After Alfresco Tasting Terrace, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling that wine a little bit lol. Walking around all day, drinks in you, you’re jet lagged, waking up early, let’s just say it was hitting me all at once. So, I thought while we were waiting for WOC to start, I would head to the Corndog Castle to get my first
Disneyland Corndog and knock another food item off my list!!! I was absolutely salivating at the thought of one of these ever since I started my research. I love corndogs, but the frozen ones are never that good. We decided on getting 2 regular corndogs and my sister wanted to try the Hotlink version. PRO TIP: I read that you can order the corndog a la carte, so you don’t get the chips and you save I think over $1. We did this and it worked out! So let me put this corndog in a nutshell. It is the best corndog you will ever eat, it will put all others to shame and it will probably be one of the best things you have ever eaten in your life. It is perfectly crunchy, the batter is thick, but not obnoxiously thick, it has the PERFECT amount of sweetness to complement the salt and it was surprisingly not too greasy. I have had dreams of this corndog. The spicy one was really good, it DEFINITELY has a kick. I can handle my spice, but I felt the burn on this one. Also, both dogs are really juicy and not dried out at all. These are just so fresh and perfect. Out of all Disney food, I think I like it better now than the Dole Whip and I freak for a Dole Whip.
We had about 45 minutes until WOC. We did reserved seating because of a family friend we’ve known since the first time we went to WDW. He worked in guest relations, I don’t think he works there anymore, but he still knows a lot of people and hooked us up, which was so cool! The reserved area was roped off behind where the dessert party is. There were seats, which was very nice because we were all starting to get very tired. We decided to just sit there and rest before the show started. We met two very nice people who were Cast Members at WDW and it was fun talking to them because they were explaining a lot of differences between both parks because they make the trip to DL a lot. We tried playing that game that coincides with the Fun Wheel, but it wasn’t working well on our phones. I almost fell asleep because it was very cold. It was weird because the east coast was hot, but we expected California to be absolutely perfect weather and it was a lot chillier than we expected. I definitely suggest bringing jackets, even if you’re going in the hotter months because my friend who lives in San Diego said once the sun goes down, it really does get cold in California.
World of Color was starting and we could not have been more excited. This was one of the main things my mom and I had to see. In a nutshell, the show the absolutely mesmerizing. It’s unlike anything I have ever seen in my life. I have seen water shows and projections, but the way the projections and water colors mix with the fun wheel, it’s a spectacle for the eyes. Pictures simply do not do it justice. The introduction and ending are both chilling. It’s truly Disney at its best. I also love how it doesn’t have fireworks (odd right?). It made it super relaxing to watch a nighttime show without the giant bangs of fireworks. Don’t get me wrong, I love fireworks, but this was just such a unique and different experience. I think if you’re going to Disneyland just for one day even, it’s worth it to take time out of your day to see it, even if it required park hopping. It is that incredible. If you love Disney movie music, you’ll be humming all night long (not that you’re not probably already LOL). I won’t go on because everything that has been said about it probably has, but I will say that I am so obsessed with WOC that I listen to the soundtrack almost daily at work. One of the BEST things EVER!!!
We originally had plans to walk around Cars Land at night after WOC to see it all lit up, but I think we were going to pass out from exhaustion lol. I was able to take a couple pictures of Carthay Circle all lit up. The whole park is so much different at night. It’s majestic, magical and it feels so special. I wish we could have spent more time, but hey, I guess that’s why you can always go back!
That is an awesome interaction your mom got to have with Minnie! (You might want to update your signature pic though - evil Photobucket won't show it...)
You have some great Photos as well
. I enjoy reading trip reports like yours. This is the reason to goto DisneyLand!
