Character Autographs

It used to be a thing to get autographs from the characters.  Do people still do that? Can you still buy an autograph book at the park?





Moving on. Here's a nice pic of some kids meeting Minnie Mouse:




What is this?  First of all, those kids are young! Barely old enough to be called babies. Secondly, the Mickey character looks like he's right out of a horror movie. Seriously, what is going on here?!




Let's watch a fun little video:




And now the long, long story that doesn't have a plot, doesn't have an end, and doesn't have any entertainment value:

Bathroom Break

After their brush with the Dark Side, the group decided to make a quick bathroom stop before continuing their adventure. Naturally, with so many people, coordinating the bathroom break turned into a small production.

As they waited outside the restrooms for the others to finish up, two Stormtroopers suddenly approached, their white armor gleaming in the Batuu sun.

The troopers stopped in front of the kids, towering over them with intimidating stances.

"You there," one of the Stormtroopers said, pointing at Reagan. "You look suspiciously like someone who supports the Rebel Alliance."

Reagan’s eyes went wide, and she shook her head vigorously. "Me? No way! I’m just here for churros!"

The other Stormtrooper leaned in closer to Zac, his voice modulator crackling. "We’ll be watching you. The First Order knows how to deal with rebels."

Zac, trying to stay cool, nodded. "I’m totally innocent! I promise! But, uh… if you see Kylo Ren again, tell him I said hi?"

The Stormtroopers exchanged glances and then marched away, leaving the kids laughing nervously.

"Okay, that was terrifying," Gage admitted, still glancing over his shoulder. "But also kind of awesome."

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

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 favorite.

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:
