She is clutching that churro like it's the last one at the park!


Do you guys remember the Bug's Life ride? What a lame waste of time! Disney knew it was not good so they got rid of it only a few years after it opened.  When they opened Disney California Adventure it was kinda low rent. Disney learned that their customers expect something better than a cheap county fair situation. Lucky for us we have a bit of documented evidence:



Here's a video


Check out this picture from a long, long time ago:




When we first started going to Disneyland we just parked at the Mickey and Friends Parking Garage. We didn't know any better so that's what we did.  The security lines were awful.  The giant escalators are cool! Now, Universal Studios has escalators and I think they are longer than the Disney ones, but the parking escalator is pretty long!  You can tell we are on our way into the park because there are still smiles!


One more. A fun little video riding the escalator and I'm taking video and Gage is pointing out that I "care about the blog so much!"  Sound up for this one!



The long story continues:

Encounter with Kylo Ren

As they made their way further into Galaxy’s Edge, they suddenly spotted a tall, menacing figure striding toward them: Kylo Ren. His dark cape billowed behind him, and his ominous presence sent a shiver down everyone’s spine.

The families watched in awe as he walked past, and then, without warning, he stopped and turned to face them.

"The First Order is the dominant force in the galaxy," Kylo Ren said in a low, threatening voice. His gaze swept over the group, and he pointed directly at Lincoln. "Remember that, young one."

Lincoln froze, eyes wide, and nodded quickly. "Y-yes, sir!" he stammered.

"Good," Kylo Ren replied, his voice dripping with authority. With that, he turned and marched away, leaving the families in stunned silence.

"Well, that was… intense," Lissa said, blinking.

"Yeah, I don’t think he’s a fan of Blue Milk either," Scot joked, trying to lighten the mood.

The best laid plans...

Image
"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:
