One week out from my next solo trip

[whoever]

I'm going to be staying an extra day longer than I tend to do on my solo trips (normally just do an evening and most of the following day), so I'm really going to knock some of those items off of my bucket list. Mark Twain Pilot house... I'm going to wait patiently however long it takes this time...

Maybe see if I can still get in on a California Story tour.

Tender ride... (Do they do these in the summer?).

See the new Alice!!!!!

Ride Space Mountain (I don't think I've been on it since 2010).

Star Tours (again... not since 2010).

And hopefully some Pixie dust for some additional things I've never experienced....

So excited....

I need a lift-me-up since the fridge died last night. I hope the bill to repair that thousand pound beast isn't going to kill me.

Sounds like a great plan!



Best of luck with the fridge!

Star Tours (again... not since 2010).

Nice! I'm sure you've heard that it has a whole new program (or series of programs) now, or maybe you've experienced it at other parks? With the random selection of "legs" on your journey it's worth multiple rides if it happens to be a reasonably short line.

I haven't been to WDW since the 80s, so definitely haven't seen the new programs. I did how to increase your odds of being the rebel spy though, and I totally am going to try for that.

Does ST have a single rider queue?

excellent, let us know how you do! Unfortunately there is no single rider line for ST. You're stuck with fastpass or standby (or I think they allow rider swap as well but you're solo this trip).

OK... two more things added to my agenda

Carthay Circle Tour
The Adventure Trading Company - Nine pieces of Juju. I was going to hold off on this and do it with my daughters in October, but it ends in a few weeks. Going to get them all...

Sounds fun!! I've never heard of the nine pieces of juju...what's that?

Good luck on your fridge. Those beasts ain't cheap IME.

And if you're ever looking for a pretty cool thing to check out, go to Forest Lawn cemetery and see Walt's grave site. It's a gorgeous place and the little enclosed garden where his plaque is has some nice touches. It makes you feel...I can't describe it, but it's very special. We made a rubbing of the plaque and wandered around a little bit. The cemetery is huge and historic. We had reservations to dine at Walt's favorite restaurant, The Tam O'Shanter, and we sat at Walt's table! That was also really neat. It's in Burbank, near the studio. We took a studio tour also, which is how we got the idea to do the rest.

Its an Adventureland interactive experience where you have to go solve riddles and perform tasks. You get Juju, which are totems for it.

Compressor inverter... $500 out the door... That REALLY hurt, but had it up and running next-day.

I don't think I'll be able to make it this trip, but maybe my next solo. I've added that to the list though.

Here we are at the same table (I'm taking the picture, though):

At Forest Lawn. I imagine Diane Disney Miller's name has been added now:

Hmm.. maybe we should do a day-six and hit those in October. The AZ meet is going on just a few miles from my house, so I wanted to do that after we get in late the night before or early the morning of. Decisions...
