Trip Report

You're new here, aren't you?

So close, we can see it

Don't worry, the hordes are on their way

Cars Land, where cars are people and rocks are cars

Not exactly fast enough to be blurry

An old standby, and quiet enough to go standby

Someone set the decorations to 11

Someone looks excited to see World of Color

Less a carousel of color and more a rainbow

Here, in Mickey's imagination. Oops, wrong show

Some lines are just too good to be stuck in a queue

Respectable, if not respected

Pretty sure Disney built the Grand Canyon

He was on his own for a bit longer as Megan and I went to redeem our Racers Fastpasses, doing so in the actual redemption window, for a change. Once again the express access was more than worth the effort needed to secure it, and we were into the valley and up to the front of the line with a rather pleasant stroll. Really, we had to wait a bit once we merged with everyone else, but that time was spent taking in the splendidly adorned environment. They really did quite a terrific job with the rockwork, and the placement of the station in a faux cavern is completely convincing.

The blue car took a dive

Audience big or small, these guys are doing a show

Might as well just say, "Go back to the hotel"

Only took until 12:30am to get some damn peace and quiet

Thank you! Considering the length, I *try* to keep it light - not to mention easy to follow. Glad you gave it a read.

What a nice thing to say, that's exactly what I hope for. It definitely brings me right back to the park, and I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

As for Toontown, we considered it on our last day, but no one felt like making the schlep up there. It's either one trip and enduring standby, or two trips to get then use a Fastpass. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy Roger Rabbit, but just wasn't compelled to hit it this time around. I'm sure we'll get to it next time.

Besides, without kids in tow, it seemed smart to stay clear of the area considering the crowds. It can get crazy on even quiet days. :\

Hope you enjoy day 3!

I've only gotten through day one. Thanks for so much detail. It's the kind of TR I usually write and they're underappreciated online.

I went there. It is good. But why does it say under Disneyland - last visited November 2008?
