Galactic Post

Let's talk about Space Mountain. I like Space Mountain. We have already seen many posts about Space Mountain. Here are a bunch of pics from Space Mountain.

Now let's do Star Tours. We haven't done much with Star Tours in a few years. Why don't we go on this ride more? It seems like we don't like it, like maybe it's down at the bottom of the barrel with Nemo, Autopia, and the ferris wheel.

The long story.  Look, I know you're not reading this anymore, but that's okay. I'm still going to post it and if you find yourself especially bored you know where to come for a tiny bit of entertainment.

The Hungry Walk to Storybook Land Canal Boats

As the families left Runaway Railway, they began to realize something was missing: food.

“I’m hungry,” Parkar declared. “Didn’t we just eat churros and pretzels?”

“That was hours ago,” Zac said dramatically, clutching his stomach. “I need real food. Like, now.”

“Yeah, I can feel my body eating itself,” Kevin joked, rubbing his stomach. “This is a serious situation.”

Julene chuckled, “We’re on the verge of a Disneyland meltdown, folks. We need sustenance soon.”

“I’m pretty sure I’d eat a churro made of cardboard right now,” Mandy added.

Scot, ever the dad, chimed in, “I’ve got some jerky in my backpack if anyone needs emergency rations.”

“That jerky’s been in there since last Christmas,” Brandon pointed out. “I’ll pass.”

As they neared the Storybook Land Canal Boats, Steve rubbed his temples. “Let’s just get through one more ride, then we can talk about food. Real food. None of this space pizza or weird alien churro stuff.”

The families sighed in collective agreement, all mentally planning their next meal while getting ready to ride yet another classic Disneyland attraction.

 

Storybook Land Canal Boats: A Sinking Feeling

The families approached the Storybook Land Canal Boats with a mixture of curiosity and hunger-induced impatience. The cheerful Disneyland cast member greeted them with a smile, eyeing the large group.

"How many in your party?" she asked.

"All of us," Steve replied, gesturing to the sizable group.

The cast member looked momentarily concerned but quickly put on her best Disney smile. “Alright! We’ll see if we can fit everyone into one boat.”

As the families filed into the tiny boat, there was a collective creaking sound. Some of the children exchanged nervous glances as the boat sank noticeably lower in the water.

“I think we’re gonna sink,” Kaiden whispered, clutching the side of the boat.

“Nah, we’re good,” Scot said confidently, but even he looked down at the water that was just a little too close to spilling over the edge.

"Just hold your breath," Brandon joked. "You know, in case we go under."

The cast member, unfazed, pushed them off with a gentle shove and began her scripted tour. “Welcome to Storybook Land, where we’ll journey through the magical miniature worlds of your favorite Disney stories…”

But before she could get too far, Steve leaned over to Kevin and loudly whispered, “You think that tiny castle’s got room for all of us?”

“Maybe if we shrink down to Lego size,” Kevin replied with a smirk.

The tour guide valiantly tried to maintain her upbeat energy, but with Steve cracking jokes and the kids giggling about whether they’d end up swimming, her narration was mostly drowned out.

“And on your left is the village from Aladdin…” she continued.

“I bet that place has better food than Alien Pizza Planet,” Zac muttered under his breath, drawing laughter from those around him.

By the time they reached the end of the ride, the families were still intact—and surprisingly dry—though several of the kids were still nervously checking the water level.

“Well, we didn’t sink, so that’s a win,” Steve declared as they disembarked. The cast member gave them a tight-lipped smile, probably relieved to see the back of them.
