Not popcorn, just corn

This one is about corn.  Not popcorn, but corn on the cob. The corn on the cob at Disneyland is good.  I suspect you're thinking "who would get corn on the cob at Disneyland? A land full of churros and turkey legs and skewers and pickles and beignets? Well, it's good, that's why. 

I have only got the corn one time. One reason I haven't ordered it more often is because it's kinda hard to find! The Hot Foods Cart near Central Plaza has both the buttered version, and the chili-lime version. They're each $5.59.  Anyway, another reason I don't often get the corn on the cob is because I don't want to walk around the park all night with half the corn stuck in my teeth. That problem is easily remedied. A few trips ago I started bringing the plackers orthopicks with me to the parks.  That way I can eat jerky and corn on the cob and be able to discretely get all the leftovers out of my teeth!

Okay, enough about corn. Look at this next pic. Wearing masks so we don't contaminate the Resistance jailers who have taken us captive.

Here's a random shot of a bunch of kids eating pretzels. Does anyone know where this picture was taken?

Long story:

Disappointment at Small World

With shaky legs, the families made their way toward It's a Small World, hoping for a break from the high-octane thrills. But as they rounded the corner, they were greeted by the sight of construction walls and signs apologizing for the ride being closed.

“Nooo,” Parkar groaned. “It’s closed?!”

A cast member explained, “We’re getting it ready for Christmas. Sorry, folks!”

Mandy sighed dramatically. “We’re missing out on the one ride where the song gets stuck in your head for days.”

Kevin looked relieved. “Honestly, this might be a blessing in disguise.”

“I was kinda looking forward to a nap in there,” Trevor said. “That ride is so relaxing.”

“Well, there goes my peaceful boat ride,” Julene joked. “Guess we’ll have to save our sanity for another day.”

Reluctantly Entering Toontown and Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin

The group pressed on toward Toontown, where the whimsical buildings looked like something straight out of a cartoon. The kids were excited, but the adults… less so.

“I can’t believe we’re actually doing Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin,” Lissa grumbled as they got in line. “This ride makes no sense.”

“I know,” Mandy agreed, crossing her arms. “It’s like a fever dream with cartoon cars. And it’s way too spinny.”

The families reluctantly boarded their cars, and as predicted, the ride was full of nonsensical turns, bright colors, and exaggerated cartoon chaos. Mandy and Lissa both emerged looking slightly dizzy and thoroughly unimpressed.

“That was… exactly as weird as I remembered,” Mandy said.

“I need a moment to recover,” Lissa sighed. “Who designed this ride? A toddler with a crayon?”

Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway: The Uneventful Ride

Next up was Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, which was supposed to be a newer and exciting ride. The families waited in line, hoping for something spectacular. But once they got on, the experience turned out to be, well… uneventful.

“Is that it?” Amelia asked as the ride ended.

“That was cute, I guess,” Trevor said, shrugging.

“It’s like they tried to make a wild adventure, but forgot to add the fun,” Lissa commented, sounding slightly disappointed.

“Well, at least it wasn’t bumpy like the Matterhorn,” Steve said, trying to stay positive.

Everyone agreed, but there was a collective sense that the ride wasn’t exactly going to make anyone’s top ten list.
