Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

 Here are some tips on how you can score high:


  • Point values: circle 100, square 1,000, diamond 5,000, and triangle 10,000
  • As soon as you get in the ride test the accuracy of your gun by shooting the wall.  If it's not accurate try to convince the small child sitting next to you to trade!
  • The left side gun is better situated to get a high score
  • Once you find a good triangle, keep shooting it over and over again instead of wasting time looking for the next target
  • The ride stops pretty often to help folks with disabilities get on so when it does stop keep right on shooting!
  • In most rooms there is at least one high-value target
    • Backside of the robot's hand in the first room
    • Behind the moving saw blade of the spaceship in the first room
    • In the alien planet room there are triangles on the back of the circle of moving aliens, right as you enter the room
    • Shoot the target on the outside of the jack-in-the-box to open the box, then hit the triangle on the alien that pops out
    • On the walls of the dark starry tunnel there are three hidden triangles that occasionally have lights glimmer across them
    • Inside of a box on the opposite side of the room from Zurg in the final scene.  You must hit the circle to make the target pop out of the box
  • Shoot at Emperor Zurg's Chest because it is worth 50,000 points.  There is a tiny unmarked hole in his armor.  In the first room with Zurg you aim for the large green square on the bottom of his gun.  The figure will turn towards the gun that has hit the square.  At this point, start shooting at the hole in his chest!

Churros!

 The churros at Disneyland hit different.  I once ate two churros at the Phoenix Zoo and they were not good.  Anther time, we made churros at home.  They were fine.  The churros at Costco are pretty darn good, but man, the Disneyland churros are awesome!  Part of it is the ambiance surrounding the churro cart-it's the happiest place on earth.  Another part of it is that they are really good!  When we go this fall you can bet I'll eat a whole bunch of churros! Look at this kid!  His mom is making him take a picture, but all he wants to do is plow through that churro like it's the last one at the park! We don't have any really young kids anymore, but you gotta start 'em out young eating churros! Isn't it crazy how much joy a piece of fried dough can bring? This is a Red Hot churro dipped in cream cheese icing.  It was good.  Not the best one I've had, but good.  In the comments you should tell me which churro has been your favori...

Ducks of Disneyland

Image
Yes, this is a post about ducks.  And I know this is a blog about Disneyland, but these ducks live at Disneyland! There are quite a few ducks at Disneyland.  In fact, there is an Instagram account called @ducksofdisneyland.  Now, I haven't been on Insta in a long time, so that account may not exist anymore.  Maybe drop a note in the comments to tell me if it does or does not. These ducks are NOT scared of humans.  This first picture is of Jenna trying to take a selfie with a duck! The ducks don’t always have it easy, though.   Sometimes they get trampled by people.   Sometimes they get got by the feral cats that roam the park at night.   Sometimes other, larger birds, attack the ducklings.   But, these ducks totally live at Disneyland!   Small price to pay to actually live at the park! In case you really like ducks, here are some videos:

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...
