Bengal Tiger

 Bengal BBQ doesn't actually grill up tiger skewers, but they do good meat. Don't get the chicken-it's way too dry. My favorite thing to get is the Bengal Rice Plate. You get two skewers with rice and slaw. It's great!


My favorite skewer, by far, is the pork belly. It's really good! I also like the Bengal Beef skewer, which is just some kinda tough beef in a sweet Zulu sauce.  What is Zulu sauce? I don't know, but it's good.





Sometimes the skewers are a bit spicy. Or, if you get the regretable chicken skewer, a bit dry. You gotta wash it down with something. I like a good Monster. Christian likes a Coke. Lissa prefers a Diet Coke. Mandy wants a Coke Zero. Mom will go on and on about how good Sprite is, then order water!



Now the long story:

Off to Space Mountain

With churros and pretzels in hand (and a few stuffed in bags for later), the family finally continued their journey to Space Mountain. The line was visible from a distance, but surprisingly, it wasn’t too bad.

"Less than 20 minutes," Mandy said, checking the app. "That’s basically nothing!"

“We can do that standing on our heads,” Parkar joked, though he promptly changed his tune when the kids began mimicking the idea.

As they joined the line, Brandon dug through his pockets and pulled out some coins. “I wish for no wait time,” he said with a grin, tossing a handful into the water near the queue.

Scot, watching his change disappear into the depths, sighed dramatically. “There goes my churro fund.”

Trevor clapped him on the back. “That’s what dads are for, right? Sacrificing their churro money for wishes?”

“I guess so,” Scot laughed.

As they inched toward the entrance, excitement began to build. Space Mountain was a family favorite—fast, dark, and thrilling. The kids began to chatter about who would scream the loudest and who would sit in the front.

“Definitely not me,” Amelia said quickly. “The front is way too intense.”

“You’ll be fine,” Gage said, trying to sound brave. “It’s just outer space.”

Steve rolled his eyes. “Yeah, ‘just’ outer space. Totally casual.”

As they approached the ride loading zone, the anticipation reached a fever pitch. They boarded their rocket ships, ready to launch into the darkness. With full bellies and high spirits, they prepared for another adventure, ready to shoot through the stars at warp speed.

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:
