More of the Hotel Pool

 Some of these pics and vids might be reruns.  It's not easy to keep track of thousands of pictures posted day after day for months on end. Even if you've seen some of these before I know you'll still enjoy looking at them again.

    Always a good time down at the pool after a long day of Disney

Universal Studios

Remember that time we went to Universal Studios? That was fun. We rode the Mario ride, which was a let down.  How is it that the line for the ride was better than the actual ride? Mario Land was really cool.  I thought it was fun to see all of the different stuff from the Mario video games. I also liked that the music in the bathroom was from the underwater worlds of the original Super Mario Bros game. It's funny, though, because I don't feel that draw to Universal Studios like I feel it for Disneyland. When we went in the late 80s/early 90s that shark was so cool. This time around the "CGI" had definitely aged. Here's more of the long story: Friendly Faces The people inside the park seemed kinder, too. Smiles and waves were exchanged with strangers, and cast members were everywhere, ready to assist with anything. "I swear, everyone here is just happier," Lissa remarked. "Must be the magic of Disney." "Either that, or they’re all in ...

Churros!

Image
 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...

Autopia Go Carts

Image
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...
