Snacks Snacks Snacks

We just did a snacks post about a week ago.  We're going to do it again. The issue is that there are just so many good snacks to be had, and when you're a recreational eater like me you just have to try them all!

Here we have the Tigger Tail marshmallow thing.  I've actually never had this because I'm not big into marshmallows, except for the Lucky Charms marshmallows.  However, about a month ago Lissa had a dream that she was at the park holding one of these.  Christian came up and Lissa was really upset and threw it on the ground in disgust.  She might need to fill in the details of the dream, and emphasize that it was actually a dream.


Speaking of Lissa.  She goes on and on about the stupid pickles.  I don't love pickles.  Mandy got one last time we went and I wasn't interest in tasting it.  I have had pickles.  I know what they taste like.  Maybe on our next trip I'll take a bite of one.


Next on the snack tour is the Mint Julep.  This drink is refreshing.  The mint is very mild.  In fact, the sprig of mint in the cup and you smell it as you drink the drink.  I like that.  I will get at least one when we go.


One of the most popular food items at the entire park is the Monte Cristo sandwich at Cafe Orleans. I've had it exactly twice.  Both times I wanted to totally love it.  It's good, but probably not one I'll order again.  It's ham and cheese and really good bread and it's deep fried.


Last, for this post anyway, is the caramel apple.  We got this because it looked fun.  It was fun and really delicious.  It was a bear to eat, though.  But worth it.  I fully expect that Mandy and I will share another one of these.  The only issue is we got this at Pooh's Corner and since Splash is closed we may not make our way to the snack shop.  We'll see!

I Got a Hankerin' for a Churro

Image
Sometimes I just crave a churro.  But not any churro.  I want a Disney churro and I want to eat it in the park!  If it wasn't a 10-hour drive down (and thousands of dollars) I'd go get a churro and ride Pirates right now! Here is Gage with a caramel apple churro.  I bought this for myself, took a bite, and offered a bit to him.  He liked it so much he took the rest of it! Here's Gage with a caramel popcorn churro.  I'm not in the picture (because I'm taking it) but I learned my lesson about churros so I bought him one and me one.  This is my least favorite churro.  The popcorn was a bit stale. I would still get another one and love it, though! A short video of Zac in line for a churro.

Autopia Go Carts

This ride...it's not really a ride.  It looks cool because you get to drive a car. I'll be that was a real treat for lots of people when the park opened in 1955.  The issue now is that we've all seen cars, ridden in cars, and know all about cars.  The novelty of driving a car is long gone.  In fact, in order for us to even get to the Autopia attraction we have to ride in a car for a good 10+ hours! The other thing about this ride is how slow the cars actually go.  The last time I rode this ride I was pressing my foot so hard on the gas pedal and we topped out at a whopping 4mph.  That is just a bit north of walking speed.  It's a bit disappointing. The last complaint I have about this ride is the weird guiderail in the middle of the track.  That thing makes it really difficult to goof off as you drive along.  I think you could probably just push the gas pedal and never touch the steering wheel.  That guiderail will keep you in the middle of the road. Even though I spent

The best laid plans...

"The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." -Robert Burns I have been so excited for so long for this trip.  Tomorrow we will head for California!  I have planned this out in my mind many, many times.  I take great joy in planning trips and this one has been no exception.  In fact, 195 blog posts in a row should tell you how much I have enjoyed planning this trip.  One day, out of boredom, I planned our first day at Disneyland.  Step-by-step plans on how to attack the park, have fun, honor our Disney traditions, and try new things.  Here's the map I created-I hope this looks okay: 1. We enter through the turnstiles at approximately 7:30am to make sure we get there for rope drop. We can take a family picture here, and maybe we should since the rope won't drop until 8am. 2. After the rope drops we make a bee-line for Pirates of the Caribbean. 3. We make a quick pit-stop at the Mint Julep Bar for some beignets.  On our way to Big Thunder we grab some breakfast c
