Happy Birthday Brandon!
Harbour Galley: A Feast Fit for Pirates
They made their way over to the Harbour Galley for a feast
of clam chowder in bread bowls and lobster rolls with chips. As they dug into
the steaming bowls of chowder, everyone was in awe.
“This is so good,” Jeff said, holding up his bread
bowl triumphantly.
“The bread bowl is genius,” Mandy agreed between bites. “I
feel like I’m eating a hug.”
“And these lobster rolls…” Lissa swooned, “I mean, wow.”
As they were eating, a Disneyland duck nonchalantly waddled
through their group, looking for crumbs. Lissa and Brandon, caught off guard,
both jumped out of their seats in alarm.
“Ahh! It’s coming for me!” Brandon shouted, hopping onto his
chair.
“It’s just a duck, Brandon,” Kevin said, laughing. “They
live here, too.”
But Brandon wasn’t convinced. “That thing has murderous
intent in its eyes. I’ve seen enough nature documentaries to know!”
Lissa was equally wary. “I’m not a fan of ducks with an
attitude.”
The rest of the group just laughed as the duck quacked
lazily and wandered off.
A Perfect Nightcap
With full bellies and satisfied taste buds, the families
decided to cap off the night with a stroll through the park. As they walked,
the lights twinkled above them, and the air was cool and filled with the
lingering scents of popcorn and churros.
“What a day,” Steve said, looking around. “But I’m not done
yet. We still have churros, right?”
“You and those churros,” Scot chuckled.
With laughs and contented sighs, the group made their way
toward the park exit, their heads already filled with plans for tomorrow.
As the families made their way toward the shuttle back to
the Toy Story parking area, they felt an odd mix of exhaustion and
satisfaction. The day had been long, full of churros, roller coasters, and
enough puns to last a lifetime. They joined the line for the shuttle, rubbing
their eyes and yawning.
"Remember how the shuttle broke down this
morning?" Zac asked, staring up at the sky. "That feels like it was
three days ago."
"No kidding," Mandy agreed. "I feel like
we've lived a whole week in one day."
Brandon yawned so wide it looked like his jaw might unhinge.
"Can we just teleport back to the hotel?"
"Unfortunately, Disney magic doesn’t cover
teleportation… yet," Jeff said, half-asleep on his feet. "But I
wouldn’t be surprised if they charge extra for it when they do."
As they boarded the shuttle, everyone slumped into their
seats, grateful for the chance to sit down. The kids still had a faint buzz of
excitement in their eyes, but the adults looked ready to fall asleep on the
spot.
"I'm calling it now—first thing we do when we get back
is hit the hot tub," Steve declared.
"Yes!" Roman chimed in, perking up at the thought.
"My feet are dead. I can barely feel them."
"Dead feet or not, I’m getting in that hot tub,"
Mandy said. "We deserve it after a day like today."
The shuttle started moving, and the familiar streets of
Anaheim rolled past the windows. As the shuttle made its way through the city,
everyone sat in a dreamy, happy silence, reflecting on the day's adventures.
