Of course, we made a beeline for RSR, stopping on the way for some PP+ pictures, of course.
Single Rider is our friend.
(Willow was really just hamming for the camera there.)
And soon Willow got her Olaf pics!
He was especially excited when we told him he was Number 1!
It was really pretty funny. It was HOT. And as soon as they did this, a cool breeze came through - the PP photographer and I looked at each other and simultaneously said, "It worked!"
Up Next: Day 14F
Sounds familiar.The single-rider line took about 20 minutes, and we had a fun ride - this time in separate vehicles. However, there were a bunch of glitches with the ride, including that my car got stuck for quite a while, which allowed Willow's car to somehow arrive back first even though mine left first; neither one of us getting to race another car (both of our cars raced a ghost); and neither one of our cars getting a ride picture. Here is how Willow felt about all that!
Willow? That's hard to believe!(Willow was really just hamming for the camera there.)
Everything is buggy at Disneyland.Eventually, we found the right PP CM. And she was having software issues.
Thank goodness! They turned out very well!Just as we were about to leave, her camera started loading the software she needed, so we waited. And soon Willow got her Olaf pics!
Can I borrow Willow for our next summer trip to Disney World?It was really pretty funny. It was HOT. And as soon as they did this, a cool breeze came through - the PP photographer and I looked at each other and simultaneously said, "It worked!"
Of course, we made a beeline for RSR,
We are very lucky to have been able to ride it so many times - so, for us, it was just kind of perplexing and amusing. I think it would have been very disappointing if it were someone's only ride (especially if they had waited 2 hours for it). On a past trip, when something went wrong (a long stall), the CMs let anyone who was affected stay on for a second ride. Not this time though.Great picture. Bummer about the glitches, though.
I was relieved - I couldn't believe that we had forgotten to get those pictures until the last day.Cute pictures! Glad it worked out at the last minute.
Both meets were great fun!Really cute character meet pics with Donald and Woody too!
Thanks! Willow has had some truly remarkable meets with Mary at DL.I missed the update with Mary Poppins and Pluto! Super cute pics there, too!
Girls gotta do what girls gotta do - especially on the last day!Of course. To both statements.
Whoa. Dat right d'ere is one angry kid.
I do not want to come across her in a dark alley. <shudder>
I was happy I remembered to get them at the last possible opportunity.Those are pretty cute pics!
She said as Willow wears a Frozen shirt.....
It WAS!It's Disney magic!
Thanks for sticking in there with me!Thanks for the chapter!
I don't know why Mickey keeps forcing us to go on it!What? RSR? You don't like that ride, do you?
Ha! Only through the magic of TRs where you can't hear the day-to-day back-talking and sassing.Willow making a sad face? Totally cute but not believable. I'm sure all that cutie does all day is smile!
Well, I came VERY close to having that exact same experience.Love the Olaf pics! I forgot all about those on our last WDW trip and was so bummed when we got back.
They are indeed very nautical, huh? Still so excited for you to experience DCL!I love the Donald pictures! They look so cruise-y to me! But pretty much everything reminds me of a cruise these days.....
You really did. I feel bad - your luck on that trip was just unbelievable.Sounds familiar.
Seriously, we had the worst luck with that ride.
Willow? That's hard to believe!
I hate that that's your experience with DLR.Everything is buggy at Disneyland.
Thanks! I was happy I remembered (at the last minute).Thank goodness! They turned out very well!
I sure am hoping those powers are working in a few months....Can I borrow Willow for our next summer trip to Disney World?
Phew. I was worried.
I would be lying if I said there aren't times she scares me!OMG That is the first non smiley photo of Willow I've seen I think (even if it was "scripted"). But incidentally, I do not want want to run into that look in a dark alley.
Donald was definitely being pretty chill about it all - I think it helped that we confirmed his number-one status.YAY Donald. I think that is the spot I met Sailer Mickey. I expect Donald is probably not too thrilled standing in front of a hidden Mickey. But he seems to be rolling with it.
Looks amazing. I so wanted to try one of those corn dogs, but just never wanted to wait in the lines I saw every time I thought about it.We went over to Corndog Castle and procured one of Disneyland Resort's famous hand-dipped corndogs for Willow's lunch.
She looks somewhat happy...So I agreed to ride. Willow, of course, loves it (like pretty much any ride!).
Verdict? I still hate it.
Cool! I never saw that.These guys were making their way through again when we got off the ride.
It is just as... everything. Except the queue, of course.But the ride is just as fun.
We had Hit.The.Wall, DIS Friends.
Brutal. I don't know this feeling and I never want to.I'm not sure this has ever really happened to us at a Disney park before - we just couldn't go on. We were discussing whether we were really going to call it a day or what
Goofy saves the day!!!when we heard some music, and Willow popped around the column where we were sitting and then popped back around yelling, "Mommy!! Goofy's controlling the water!!!"
Oh no!!! I'm glad they had them there when I needed one. Your fallback option was a pretty good choice though.Willow was hoping for a Mickey Bar, and I was thinking that we could probably get one at the CS or pool area at the GCH, so we exited through there. No Mickey Bars to be found.
Somebody has to supervise.And I packed before also showering and getting cleaned up for our last night traditional meal. Looks like Willow enjoyed viewing my packing efforts a lot more than I enjoyed the job.
We went over to Corndog Castle and procured one of Disneyland Resort's famous hand-dipped corndogs for Willow's lunch.
I had a gluten-free pepperoni pizza, which was quite delicious.
Both of Willow's top two front teeth were quite loose at this point, so she did not enjoy her corndog as much as she might have at another time.
it has a heights issue that is unpleasant for someone with issues with heights
Verdict? I still hate it.
I think this is very similar to Primeval Whirl
but it must be somewhat different, because it definitely has a lower height requirement to ride.
So we went to visit The Little Mermaid!
We had Hit.The.Wall, DIS Friends.
"Mommy!! Goofy's controlling the water!!!"
You may be thinking, "huh?" I, however, in a weird moment of clarity, knew exactly what she was talking about.
so we hobbled closer to watch.
Sorry for the picture overkill - we were really excited to see this
it is a perfect example of one of those special Disney things that they don’t HAVE to do, but that make a visit so special when you happen upon them.
And we enjoyed our last ride of the trip.
I felt bad since we could have easily stopped on the way out of the park. Luckily, there was a Haagen-Dazs right across from the GCH when we exited, so Willow got a scoop of ice cream there.
Willow showered - trying out a shower cap for the first time in her life to maintain her Elsa hairdo.
Looks like Willow enjoyed viewing my packing efforts a lot more than I enjoyed the job.
Up Next: Day 14G
Welp, pkondz and I seem to be at a bit of a stalemate. I have to up my game!
Darnit, pkondz made that joke already.
