Uh, more snacks?

Here is your now daily reminder that I plan to be at the park for rope drop and I hope you all are planning on that as well.  That, of course, means leaving the hotel at about 7am, which means getting up at around 6:45am (earlier if you care about how you look and smell), which means setting an alarm.

The last time I went to Disneyland was in May with Mandy and Zac.  I ate like a champ!  Here's a sampling of those food items.

First up is the hot chocolate.  It was delicious and totally hit the spot on an unseasonably cool night. We got this from the Fantasy Land Fruit Cart that is right by the Casey Jr. Train ride.  It was $3.79 and worth it!



We hit a new-to-me place for dinner.  It's called Harbour Galley and it's over by the Mansion. Mandy got the Clam Chowder in a bread bowl for $12.49 and I got the Lobster Roll for a whopping $16.99!  They were both really good.  Plus, we found a table off to the side that was empty and a bit isolated.  It was nice eating with a little privacy!



I really like the Stage Door Cafe.  It's about halfway between Pirates and Big Thunder and right across from the Mark Twain Riverboat. At this point in our trip I don't think Mandy was hungry.  Neither was I, but it didn't stop me from getting a hand-dipped corn dog for $10.59 and a strawberry funnel cake for $9.49.  



In Disney California Adventure I got a Jack-Jack Cookie Num Num from the Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums cart.  This is over by the Incredicoaster.  The cookie was good.  Not as good as Crumbl, but good.  If we're over by the Incredicoaster and needing to kill time while some people go on the ride more than once I think I would gladly drop $8 on this cookie again!



Speaking of DCA, they have a place for food called the Cozy Cone Motel.  It's a bunch of walk-up windows where you can get popcorn and ice cream, and chili con carne, and mac and cheese, and churros!  I got this seasonal churro called the Chocolate-Hazelnut Strawberry churro. It's a churro tossed in cinnamon-sugar with chocolate-hazelnut spread and freeze-dried strawberries.  I paid $6.29 for this delectable treat!




Last one.  This one came from the newly opened ToonTown.  The food offerings in ToonTown were surprisingly dull. We went to Cafe Daisy's and paid $5.99 for Daisy's Goody-Goody Donuts.  They were good, but I would save my money for something else when we go. Mandy got the Picnic Time Watermelon Lemonade for $6.49.  It was fine.  I wouldn't get it again. But the memories are great!

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
