They are right there in La Jolla. Do you know where that is? Just south of UCSD.

They are near La Jolla Cove. You have to pay some store there to get access down a stair well.

Thanks Hydroguy.

Nunzia, were the Rivers of America filled back up when you were there?

Nunzia, were the Rivers of America filled back up when you were there?

Yes..YAY!! I was worried about that before hand. The river looks lovely, all sparkly and clean. The new elements are cute..You hear Mike Fink and Davy Crockett (original voices) pretty much arguing as you pass the new Mike Fink house (used to be the burning settler building). The real horses on site are kind of jolting after looking at all the static displays, but it really adds a nice touch. Really nice ride and great info about the original Columbia that I either didn't know or had forgotten.

 

[rentayenta]

for the photos nunzia! Nice view too!

Would anyone know if the white water snacks sells 6 packs of beer? I know they sell one at a time.

Trying to avoid waiting 2 hours for delivery from Vons. Heard you now have to be there to sign for groceries with booze.

Anyone know?

Thanks!

If they do, it will probably be $6 a beer. You'd be better off to walk over to the 7-11 on Katella and Harbor and get a six pack for probably $15. Anything withing a certain radius of the parks is in the Disney Reality Distortion Zone where they can ask ANYTHING for everyday stuff and people will pay it!

All the prices are high, but some items are more overpriced that others. Beer is not listed on the Grocery Order Form, but it is available at WWS.
2 liter Coke for $2.99 is a "bargain" within the "Disney Reality Distortion Zone"
