Kick it Old School!

What up home skillet? We are going to throw it back, way back! I'm going to give you the 411 on how big a bomb the parks are. Disneyland is all that and a bag of chips! So take a chill pill and enjoy all these old pics.

Check out these cool cats sitting in the bright green ride. Hasta la vista, baby!



Brandon does not look excited to be riding the 'Cups! In his best impression of Bart Simpson: "Eat my shorts."


Okay, enough of the tight 90s slang. Here are a few more pictures:




The long story:

Blue Milk Blues

After the thrilling ride on Big Thunder Mountain, the group finally made their way to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The towering spires of Batuu greeted them as they entered, and the families were immediately swept up in the immersive world of Star Wars.

"Alright, guys," Steve said, clapping his hands. "Before we conquer the Millennium Falcon, who’s up for trying the famous Blue Milk?"

The kids’ eyes lit up, and they quickly headed over to the Blue Milk stand, eager to taste the iconic drink.

One by one, they each took a sip, and the reactions were... less than magical.

Blue Milk Disappointment

"This… tastes like grass-flavored yogurt," Brandon said, making a face as he handed his cup back to Scot.

"Yeah, but with a hint of dish soap," Zac added, sticking out his tongue in disgust.

"I thought it was supposed to be sweet!" Kevin exclaimed, examining his cup as if it had betrayed him.

Gage took a cautious sip, grimaced, and declared, "Well, it’s not milk. That’s for sure."

Lissa, always willing to try new things, bravely took a big gulp and then immediately regretted it. "Why does it taste like it’s trying too hard to be futuristic?" she asked, trying to force a smile.

"That’s a no from me," Mandy said, handing her cup back to Steve, who was also grimacing after his own taste test. "It’s like drinking a smoothie, but the blender didn’t know what it was supposed to do."

Even Julene, the optimistic one, struggled to find something positive to say. "Well, at least it’s blue?" she offered with a weak smile.

"Is it blue?" Scot asked. "Or does it just taste blue?"

"We’ll never know," Jeff said, shaking his head. "Let’s chalk this one up to ‘experience’ and move on."

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:
