mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Rick is always car shopping So is David! ... so we had a few unhappy moments there. Every vacation we have a huge blow-up within the first three days. Then all is well. I don't understand it. Yeah, it happens to us too, mostly when we both have different ideas of what we should be doing that day I got really behind but caught up! Thanks for reading! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Continuing on.... It looks like we rode Roger Rabbit's Spin.... Pretty dumb, but it's now checked off the list Now, we're wandering again, back on Main Street The light in the window of Walt's apartment Next was Jungle Cruise..... Most of these pictures were pretty bad, not sure why and then Pirates of the Carribbean these were also pretty bad pictures Then it was dinner time. We decided to go to Plaza Inn. This is another counter service with real plates, silverware, and table busing service. There are lots more of these type counter service at Disneyland than WDW. I had the Pot Roast Rick had the Fried Chicken Check out the receipt..... I should have tried the door and shown them the receipt to see if I could get in :) (I'm guessing Club 33 members get the same discount as AP holders, and they hit the wrong button) More coming soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 One thing I forgot to mention. I'm pretty sure we left the park that afternoon. According to my ride plan, we picked up FP for Indiana Jones Adventure, for a later evening return time. However, the return time was way earlier than the software predicted, and we didn't get back in time.... Fail Coming next, we're waiting for the Fireworks :) I was really looking forward to seeing those. I had been bragging about how beautiful they were and how Tink actually flew instead of just barreling down a wire....... Here they go Ooooops.... this was NOT the fireworks show I saw years ago, and Tink didn't fly!!!! I was soooo disappointed Rick was pretty tired by then and headed back to the hotel. We had FP for Fantasmic! and I stayed to see it. Once again, the packed in like sardines viewing areas are definitely not my idea of fun It is fascinating to see how they integrated the show into Tom Sawyer's Island. The areas where the show is performed are guest areas during the day and you don't ever notice. and that ends another Disneyland day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Wow. Fantasmic! looks very different at DL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Why didn't Tink fly? Do they not do that anymore or was there a weather issue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Why didn't Tink fly? Do they not do that anymore or was there a weather issue?I have no idea..... There were a lot of things that seemed to be on a "lite" mode. As if they were only going through the motions getting ready for the anniversary celebration. Things got even "lighter" after the weekend and Star Wars convention over at the convention center was over. More on that later Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Wow. Fantasmic! looks very different at DL. It is very different. Unfortunately, I missed getting pictures of the Peter Pan segment on the Columbia and the character extravaganza on the steamboat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 We're now to Saturday, April 18th. Another beautiful morning! Couple pictures from our hotel lobby Today, we are back at California Adventure Today was also the day for our most expensive breakfast ever, but we didn't take any pictures. We decided to go to IHOP. Rick ordered an omelet, and just started listing off ingredients, instead of looking for a standard omelet that was close to what he wanted. They priced it as a custom omelet, and our breakfast along with my entree, our juices and coffee, was almost $60.00!!! Now onto the park We went through and rode Monster's Inc. I thought it was pretty cute. From what I understand, the previous incarnation of this attraction was reaaaaaally bad. Well that's close to photo limit. More later Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Dinner looked good! Being packed like sardines... not so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WannaBeImagineer 98 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm all caught up! Great pictures! The omelet story sounds like something CP would do, and then I would get hot and we'd have some of those unhappy moments until I cooled down, lol. Looking forward to more!WBI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Many years ago when Sarah was quite young, we ate at an IHOP. It was a stretch for our budget, so I ordered her water to drink. The waitress asked Sarah if she wanted lemon in her water. I start saying no, but Sarah is saying yes. Then the waitress asks Sarah (she was about 5 at the time) if she wants sugar in there as well. So she brings the water with a lemon wedge, makes a big deal about stirring a packet of sugar in it, then charges us for a lemonade! We don't eat at IHOP anymore.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Dinner looked good! Being packed like sardines... not so much. We don't like holding down a piece of concrete for anything, and this is the way you see these shows every night in both parks, just not our cup of tea. I wish I had been on the ball enough to book one of the dinner packages, but even so, I don't think those viewing areas are any less crowded. I'm all caught up! Great pictures! The omelet story sounds like something CP would do, and then I would get hot and we'd have some of those unhappy moments until I cooled down, lol. Looking forward to more!WBIYeah, fortunately, I just blew that one off, but OY, that was expensive. Many years ago when Sarah was quite young, we ate at an IHOP.

We don't eat at IHOP anymore.I actually really like our local IHOP. We eat there for lunch pretty frequently at work. They have a chicken/mushroom crepe that's pretty good. At breakfast though, they cream you on the drinks. By the time you get a juice, milk, and a coffee, your up to $10 each Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Continuing on... We're just wandering again. I do recall we went into the Animation Studio, and the section I really wanted to see that had some classic animation history stuff and this thing that spun with Toy Story characters, was taken over by a Frozen meet and greet. So even the California Animation Studio was a boring bust. Sully during a meet & greet We wandering around near ToT Blue skies and palm trees!!! Aaaaaaah I'm in line for Tower of Terror. Rick sat this one out Too bad there are not circles above that boiler... that would be a unique hidden mickey and there I am :) California Adventure has some roaming entertainment similar to Hollywood Studios Some more architecure The Big Cheese :) Walt's Original Character Looks like we've exited the park Aaaah, we wandering Downtown Disney Photo limit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 We picked up some goodies from here to snack on Here's one of these weird California Lawyer signs Yes, there is a Lego Store and a Rainforest Cafe We probably should have had a meal there, cause it was Rick's birthday month and he probably had a coupon on his rewards card. Fail on that one. Goofy at the Disneyland Hotel Some wall art Looks like we're heading back to California Adventure Here's the same group from earlier performing again and here is where we had dinner plans But that was later in the evening, so now we're wandering Cars Land again Now we're wandering Paradise Pier again I decided to go single rider on California Screamin This tank is on the wrong coast and we're at picture limit again. Coming next, the afternoon parade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Now we're watching the Pixar Play Parade :) We enjoyed it :) Coming next, pretty cool dinner :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Wow, when y'all wander, you really wander! That was a lot of walking from DCA to Downtown Disney and then back again. I saw that Pixar parade performed at night in December. It's interesting to see it during the day. It reminds me that DHS no longer has a regular parade, which is really dumb, considering how few attractions there are in that park. I'm looking forward to hearing about your meal at Carthay Circle.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Now, it's time for dinner at Carthay Circle. This place is beautiful!! and full of historic Hollywood and Disney photos. Here we go...... I believe this was from the original theater The decor in our seating area One of the other rooms One of the iconic Walt photos another dining area The premier night of Snow White My starter..... It was good, but a bit spicy for my taste, but I can't pass up most soups Rick started with a salad I had the swordfish Rick, of course, had a steak We also ordered a bottle of Fess Parker Chardonnay. Had it at Narcossee's in FL, but this for some reason, didn't taste quite like I remembered. Some more pictures around the restaurant... Walt's famous camera This had a plate that said it was the first picture of Walt with Mickey, and the last picture of Walt with Mickey We enjoyed our meal there. It was not cheap, but we expected that. The meal was not "amazing", but it was good, and the history in there was fun to see. Now we're wandering the park after dark and back in our room and thus ends another Disneyland day..... The next couple of days, we go off the reservation, so to speak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Dinner looked yummy! Or maybe I am just hungry. LOL Were the beds very high, or was that a low, small couch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL Were the beds very high, or was that a low, small couch?It was a low small couch that we never sat on. We actually requested a 2nd office chair. It was more comfy to sit in the office chair with our feet resting on the bed :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
