And I'm gn2dlnd, but you knew that.

This is the thread I'm starting right now so as to make it easier to see if anyone else is going to the Park on a given day. If you're heading to the Park, say, after a long day at a farmer's market, just check online to see if any other LoTters have posted here, and you'll know if you can change your status from "Single Rider" to "Friend of the Friendless!" It's that simple!

Here's how it works:

Heading to the Park today (10/6), should be at the hub around noon.

So easy a child could do it. But don't, unless accompanied by an adult.

I'm in the neighborhood, so I'm stopping by the Park for an hour(ish).

I'll probably have dinner at DTD.

10/10, 7ish(ish)

My sister Bobbi is coming down there tomorrow and will be there all weekend- her long distance BF moved to Fullerton this last month, so I think she'll be visiting there more often. We're all coming down in April as well! (Fair warning).


(PS- NA, if you've the time she'd love to meet you for lunch at DTD while she's there!)

I'll be at the Resort on Saturday and Sunday but Saturday I have a meeting with a group at about noon and a 5:30 dinner at Napa. Sunday is MA, of course. I would love to see Bobbi again! I wonder how we can work it out?

I will be around and was prepared to go into the park. But, if there are a lot of "blocked" individuals, I may just hang out in the DTD, especially since Traci can't go into the park until tomorrow.

I will see as many of you that will be there later!

I may be heading down a little later (Sat., 10/13), I still don't have many phone numbers of y'all from when my phone got wiped. I'd love to lunch, but however will I find you?

Maybe I should just hang out at Sephora, eventually you'll show up. :p

Wed., 10/17, noonish, I'll be meeting the Mommodore at the Park for lunch. She bought herself an AP so she can occasionally trap me!

I'm backwards...not sure I was going.

Went yesterday 10/29. After a long day of convention center hopping, went to DCA and rode Soarin' {I thought the guy yelling in the hang glider was my husband, I know he is dying to get back to Yosemite} ate lunch at the Cucina Cucamonga {?} and it wasn't as bad as I thought. Really.

Then we went to watch the Disneys' 50th and ran into Borneio {sp}. Well, figuratively, not literally. {We didn't ask to hang with ya because if you noticed we were wearing sunglasses, prescription, we knew we'd be leaving soon}. Rode the Jungle Cruise. Why are the waterfalls off? OUr guide was funny but I wondered, as we laughed at his jokes, how about all of the people who don't speak English, what are they thinking as they ride? Hmmm.

We left after that. Darn, it got really crowded! I thought there were no costumes allowed in the park and I saw a few. Are the people who go to DCA allowed into Disneyland after with their costumes? {it was too early for that, though}

When we pulled in to the parking lot, the gentleman was quite nice, 'Welcome to the park, have a nice day'. We said 'Hey, we will we didn't bring the kids!' he says in response 'Welcome to the park, have a nice day'. As we pulled away I told the Hubster 'I think we threw him, he didn't know what to say!' :D

Anywho...would have been nice to hang with people but it was just nice to be there, period. :)

I'm now imagining him saying that in lieu of any conversation.

"How late is the park open?"
"Welcome to Disneyland, have a nice day."

"When do you get off work, handsome?"
"Welcome to Disneyland, have a nice day."

"Honey, take out the garbage."
"Welcome to Disneyland, have a nice day."

Hahah that sorta reminds me of that Margaret Cho act with the nurse that came into her hospital room and announced, "hi, my name's Gwen and I'm here to warrrrrsh your vagina!" Margaret imagines her saying it so much it just comes automatic... like

Gwen: "Hi, my names Gwen and I'm here to warrrrrrrsh your vagina!"

Man: "Excuse me?"

Gwen: " Oh I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry sir... yes, I would like to renew my driver's license." :D

I'm axing this here since this is a 'going to Disneyland' thread...

Well, I'm going to Disneyland on Monday. I see it opens up a little later {9 a.m.} and closers earlier {6.p.m.} and that DCA opens at 10a.m. and closes at 9p.m.

I am confused as to what type of strategy to use! With the park closing early, how does that 'three stages' of the castle work out? And, why is DCA open later? I see that next Monday {the other day we had planned to go} the hours are almost flipped. But, with school and the Boy, this one works better.

Help!! What can anyone tell me? And, I am wondering if anyone can help if they haven't experienced these times before during the holiday shows?

Thanks in advance for any advice. :D

You're running across the Disney Family Holiday Party, I think.

DCA is open later as a consolation prize.

MouseWife
11-30-2007, 03:21 PM
Thanks, Morrigoon! :snap:

I wonder, though, how it effects the snow/castle? I actually don't mind it being over sooner if they do the whole shebang. I wonder if they'll save it for the Disney Party?

LOL DCA is the consolation. Well, if I could convince the family to go and ride the ToT it would be cool. At night. Oooo!!

Snowflake
12-02-2007, 08:53 PM
well, not really! We had a blast, I took only a few bad photos and today we're lucky enough to get someone else's one of a million dreams (it's not my dream, alas). After riding NA's carousel, we cut through the castle to get to Frontierland and NOS in the hope of one more ride on Pirates. We were ambushed by a CM named Zach and two others whose names I did not see and "our dream" were three vouchers for castle photos.

So, here we are looking semi-normal

and here we are, buying into the magic

I think your days are great, we, on the other hand, have to go this Sunday {to accomodate everyones' schedules}.

I know it will be crazy crowded, but, won't it be that way until the holiday decorations go down?

Anything going on there this Sunday, oh Swanksters? ;)

I'm going up with the Hubster, the Boy, my sis and two of her kids. I think her son has never been. And, the girl loves HSM. While I do NOT I have a soft spot in my heart and we will probably be there in the audience for it....or Il'l be wandering through a store while they watch that.....

We had a wonderful time with the Swanies and Brigette and family. Aside from some dvc/hotel issues it was a great time.

Maddy got to honk the horn on the monorail. The girls got a private audience with Crush as Maddy had a very important question (Crush's girlfriend's name is Shelly). They loved the Zoetrope. We scored fast passes galore from the dvc/hotel debacle. We even got a surprise Skype call from the wonderful MickeyLumbo. It was crowded but we had a great time. Here are some photo highlights.

The girls kicking back in the hotel-

For dinner the Swanies and I had ressies at Tortilla Joes. We decided to add Brigette and crew for a grand total of 15. 9 kids 6 adults. We were outnumbered. They put us in a private room/baclony and it was awesome. The kids could run around a bit without the rest of the resturant hating us. It was hard to get a good shot of the space but here's the best I got -

(Hopefully Matt will be working so we can harass him). Then, it's off to the DL Hotel where we're going to be staying in a suite- yoohoo! We'll be there from 4/2 to 4/7. Eric, Tori, Bobbi, Nick and myself are making this trip, so it's the full crew this time. We're up for a Swanking if anyone wants to plot one out.:cheers:

We'll most definitely have to meet up! Hey, btw- what 's with JBJ's hair? Is he up for a role, or is he just going through a bad hair thing?

Wendybeth i don't know honestly. I wish he would keep it long and blonde but hey it's not my hair. There are tons of fans on his fan club board with this discussion everytime he changes his hair. It's grown on me though to be honest since i saw it short and more brownish but still takes getting used to. As long as Richie doesn't do anything major to his hair i'm ok. (Richie girl here).

Yes we will can definitely meet up sometime on the 6th if i'm able to still stand. I figure two shows back to back i might not be able to hear nor have a voice....lol so much for a tourguide lmao...

Mebbe notsomuch. After heading out to the bank, the sky opened up and the temperature dropped. As much as I love Disneyland in the rain, I hate the 5 in the rain.

The Zoetrope in the Animation building is REALLY cool.

Definitely see the fireworks from the hub area one evening. A good spot is either right in front of the castle, or on Main Street in the center, between Coke Corner and the Photo Shop. (Basically, anywhere you can see the castle).

The fastpasses that are gone first are for Space Mountain and Indy. Make sure you get those first.

And the Nemo line is by FAR the shortest at night (like 11pm), if you don't care about seeing the lagoon by day.

Yes, I accept tips. ;)

MouseWife
07-26-2008, 09:59 PM
CoasterMatt~do you guys have APs for Knotts? I am low on funds and thinking if I should get those this year, to switch over for a while. It is cool on their website that you can see YouTube video of the rides. Have you riden {duh, of course!} Pony Express? It looks a little uncomfortable, maybe, like you are being thrust onto the front of the horse. Can you give any clues? Is this just how it looks or is it uncomfortable? And, Sidewinder, do those darn things spin a lot?

I love Boysenberry punch!!! And, if weekends weren't so crowded, I'd love to do the BBQ thing. I think Knotts is great for: the rides, the ambiance, the food, the lack of lines. Their hotel, while not fantastic, is in a fantastic location. I can usually get a pretty good rate. But, not the most schnappy place. Once they gave us a room and when we went it still have peoples things strewn about!!! Another time there was trash in the room and a used bar of soap!!! Other than that....:rolleyes: Close to TGIFridays and those huge margaritas!!! :snap:

CoasterMatt
07-26-2008, 10:18 PM
Pony Express isn't uncomfortable at all, it's pretty boring - but seems to be a hit with the tweeners (which is who it was aimed at, really)

Sierra Sidewinder is one of the most fun coasters in California, not big on thrills but TONS of laughs - and it has onboard video so you can see just how silly you look. The spinning isn't that bad, UNLESS you have a very unbalanced car at the back of the train (Bornieo might have some words here).

We're getting Knott's APs tomorrow (actually printed them tonight), if you buy them online now - they're $89.99 each.

MouseWife
07-26-2008, 10:59 PM
That's a deal for the AP's. With no blackout dates. I think the least expensive Disney AP's are $129? I really want both....{says the woman who gave away 3 shifts at work today...wrong hours....maybe they'll give me hours when I can work....}.

LOL Oh, that would be me, then. I freak out on Ghostrider, feel like I am going to fly out.

But I like to eat. :D Even if I went on just a few rides, to go whenever I wanted, to stroll about and enjoy the different 'seasons' would be cool.

Thanks for the info!

The Christmas Fantasy Parade has a new Workshop unit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAZ4ASddC2w) Skip to 4:27 to check it out. It's really cool and makes all sorts of noises (so much so that when it passes right by the camera the din rises above the music). Very imaginative. Well done! :)

No, this is probably not the last weekend of the "Remember...Dreams Come True" Fireworks. The calendar at Disneyland.com is listed through May 2009 and has "Remember" scheduled at 9:25 p.m. for every Saturday and Sunday.

I think iSm means it would be great to have a sorta-last, LoT group viewing of it before it goes away this year.

Exactly. "Remember" is still spectacular, but it also lost some of its original golden touch after Disneyland's 50th Anniversary was over, and part of Julie Andrews' narration was changed from saying "50 years ago ..." to "many years ago ..."

Well, I for one don't have the heart for a big send off down the road. With the entire Frontierland section missing, I feel as if the last chance to see the show in its best light has already passed.


And frankly, with nothing having happened LoTwise for the wide-flume premier of it's a fatter-person's small world, I've been thinking the big Disneyland meets have pretty much passed as well.

Well, in the next few years, there will be lots of opportunities for LoT group meets to experience new attractions and major changes ... for anyone who dares venture across the esplanade to the dark side.

I would love to do a big grope group meet for fireworks next month, when I'm not doing Mouse Adventure at the buttcrack of dawn the next morning. (Yes, I'm old, and I've gotten used to getting at least 8 hours of sleep, and I LIKE IT.) The Rat has never seen the fireworks, abbreviated or no, from a prime viewing location, so I'd totally be down with camping out in the hub - preferably not the weekend I'm in DC, as that would be complicated.

And we're still averaging 1 park visit per week, so we're clearly not bored with it yet.

So there!

Well...it looks like I will be going for a few days during The Boy's summer vacation. My BF received some money and really wants us to go on vacation. I was thinking San Diego, but Boy and BF are wanting DLR.

I have to admit, being some place familar sounds nice, like going to see a good friend.

Anyone know approximately what time the Lashpair and any others on MA will be free to meet up at DL on Sunday? :D

MouseAdventure usually ends around 3pm. After that, a meal or cocktails or both are generally in order.

Pick a place, make some ressies, and the LashPair and assorted minions ... well, ya know, if you build it ... they will come.

It sounds like a bear friendly place.

I thought the applicable phrase here was "if you mix it and add an olive.... they will come." ;) So if we do 4:00 drinks/appetizers @ the Hearthstone and 5:00 early dinner reservations @ Brennans, that would work you think? Then we can be joined by whoever wants to join... Let me know and I shall make it so.

I think dinner time depends on what time the awards ceremony is.

I will probably show up sometime after 5:30.

As in, the awards ceremony should be over by 5:30? I can just push everything forward a few hours. And if anyone has other suggestions on where to meet up I'm all ears :)

Edit: The awards ceremony is 6-7 @ the Paradise Pier Hotel according to the Mouseplanet website. The MA actual is over at 4pm. ( Grrrr you made me go there. )

SO, I think if we do Drinks @ Hearthstone for 4:30ish and then make dinner ressies for 7:30ish that should work schedule-wise?

We did the Big Thunder barbecue on Sunday. It was actually pretty darn good, with one caveat: it was a hot day, and we kept drooling over the ice cream cones that the other families were getting for dessert. Finally, when it was time for us to finish our meal, it was revealed to us that the cones did not contain ice cream, but an iced cupcake on top of some cupcake-appropriate mixture. Not to say that an iced-strawberry shortcake cupcake with sliced strawberries served in an ice cream cone wasn't yummy, but with temperatures sitting at around 100 degrees, ice cream would have been a lot nicer.

I'm in for dinner, especially if it's Brennan's. Drinks, too, and whereever (though Tortilla Ho's seems to be a popular post-MA watering hole).

I could give a hoot about the boring awards ceremony. But drinks at 4:30 should allow everyone who wants to attend awards to have a cocktail before ... and those who want to skip it to keep downing 'em.

Would dinner at 7:00 work? If Brennan's Soup Kitchen is the venue, ressies are a MUST.

Yeah thats why I am thinking 7:30, so you'll have a half hour to walk to the restaurant. I'll make reservations for 7:15 just cuz it'll take them a while to ACTUALLY get it set for that many people.

By my calculations:

C-bog and BJ-bog (2)
KatieSue and Clan (8)
Gruesome Twosome (2)
innerSpacepackage (1)
Marlatop (1)
Lashpair (2)
Our Fearless Leaders (2)
Prudypair (2)

That's reservations for 20(!!!) Sweet.

Who does the awards ceremony any more?


Dinner later than 7 means anyone who wants to see fireworks and do dinner won't be able to do both. :p


What do the Lashes want to do? If they have their hearts on winning, we should do dinner later. If they want pyro night cap, we should eat earlier.


I'm always up for What Would LashBear Do?

Seeing as we'll actually be in official competition this year, and I'm going to wait until at least 5 minutes in before giving up, I personally would like the option of attending the awards should we end up doing well.

innerSpaceman
04-24-2009, 11:07 AM
I assume the Lashes would like to attend the awards, too ... seeing as this is their first MouseAdventure ... and they have no clue as to the intense boredom and endless delay that is the so-called Awards Ceremony.




But I hate to just assume ....

OK so now we're at 13 people. Slightly more manageable for Brennan's I think :)

Actually, Andrew, I doubt there's anything to be done. I think the Mascot thingy and the T-Shirt whatsit are entertaining and adorable. But the ballroom sucks. I know it's necessary nowadays, but it's lame and I hate everything about it ... including how expensive the game has become because of it.


Don't bother telling me that's how it has to be. That or nothing at all. I know. It still sucks.
