This just makes me smile!! Love the true joy!!
Sounds like DCA was off to a wonderful start!

Loving all the Drag Race references, but I also love your barre pose. It's joyful.
Sounds like you had a great time on Guardians, the one ride I am sworn not to ride. I don't do drops or heights. Just a hard pass for me. But I have great plans for character meet and greets while I send my family on it. I'm happy to hear you love it, because I think my husband probably will as well. (Hmmm... you know how I've seen Fantasmic twice and still don't know what it's about? I've also watched Guardians the first a couple of times and have know idea what the plot is. But ask me anybody on Drag Race All Stars 3 or my theories on One Direction and I can lecture for days.)
As a pre-K teacher, I can't avoid Cars and I actually found the 3rd one to be pretty good. I'm excited about that area of the park.
Can't wait to hear your review of the News Boys. I'm definitely looking for shows to help us take a break while staying in the parks, so it's on my list.

Your trip report is GREAT! That song from Rapunzel always makes me cry, too! We're going to DL in a month, so seeing all of your great pics & stuff is a lot of fun!
Sometimes I like TSL and sometimes I don't. When I'm coming from my office it makes so much more sense to park at Toy Story Lot, as it involves only a few stoplights and one right turn. It also rarely has a line up of cars, so I can get in, scan my pass, park and get to a bus quickly. And buses are constantly coming. But then the drive over from the lot to the parks sucks. I just hate waiting at all those red lights! And something about the M&F parking trams just makes me feel more Disney! Also, at the end of the day/night, leaving from M&F is so easy, but from TSL, it can be a pain coming up the road with all the Disney pedestrian traffic!The drive was different this time and we ended up in a different parking lot. I hadn't realized there were two parking lots. This one being behind DCA and the other just right past the entrance. Most tend to use Mickey & Friends since it's the one that seems to be found on GPSs I'd later discover and it's much closer to the park itself with the tram being a far more efficient way to get into the park. We were using the other today which was Toy Story and they used busses which Raven was calling a throwback to our CP days since we had to use an awful bus system to get into the parks/work. She said these busses were like that, which they weren't from the outside and ran far more efficiently and safely than TranStar. The inside did look like them.
Yeah, that definitely helps! When I was in charge of my family's maxpass for Thanksgiving, I would just scan for everyone.I realized in opening up the Disneyland app, I could scan for both of us, which was far more efficient than both of us doing it (or at least it satisfied my control freak tendencies). Some other newbie MaxPassers were having issues so we bypassed them, scanned and went right on in.
It's the Collector's Private Office. The first scan point is in his library, but then the room itself is his office! I love all the artifacts and details!Anyways, we weren't in the queue too too long as they quickly ushered us into line for the pre-show, which I'm not even sure what to call it anymore. Normally I'd say library and it still looks a lot like a library, but it's not. Maybe briefing room? I mean, this is where they "get" our DNA scan for security clearance. I don't know. Whatever.
I think it's my current favorite at Disneyland!Consensus... I F'ING LOVE THIS ATTRACTION OMG
I'm curious to see how many you got! I rode it 10 times during the evening premier party and got 5/6 songs. It took me close to 6 months to finally get that last song!For sure, I was coming back to get the song I wanted whether today or tomorrow I was gonna get it and try to get all the songs you can possibly get.

Great photoshoot pics! Your day was off to a great start getting 2 of the big rides done! The Guardians of the Galaxy ride sounds like a lot of of fun!
So many cute character photos in this update! All the interactions sound awesome! I love the Animation Building, so much fun in there!
ALL the character pics!!! Am I the only one that thinks that that Frozen meet with Kristoff and Olaf needs to make it's way to WDW????
It sounds like you're having an amazing time and although my daughter isn't on the DISboards, she asks me to recap your latest chapter at least once a week. She watches YouTube vlogs, I recap trip reports and it's this nice age gap synergy thing we've got going. And we both love your stories.

Still trying to get caught up but what I've scanned through is quintessential Timmy!
Will comment more when I fully read. Just got back from our trip and am sick yet again with a ton of deadlines from work , only ONE of which is actually MY job but that's what happens when a person has been around as long as I have and can do most of the jobs in an office.... I've now decided against retiring for the moment as my plan to go back to teaching as a sub is not sounding too thrilling in the current climate.
Anyway, can't wait to get caught up! (I do remember Walt's apartment when we were there many times during that era and saw the lights on more than a few times. Your reminder made me wistful for those days. I was also taken down memory lane with not just your reminder but the Kingdom Keeper books that I read while vetting for my youngest grandson who is 10)
You have a wonderful way with words. Reading your trip report has been a real treat! I totally understand fan girl'ing over the characters! I do it, too. For now, I use my kids as my excuse for acting like a dork. But realistically, it's just fun to play and pretend even if it's only for a minute or 2.
