Fun Galore at Disneyland this past weekend. Was so nice to see everyone who made it, even if for a little bit.
It was so rad to have an old school Grand Cal AP Loungeathon. Mark really liked that, and I was so happy to share that with him - as well as to reintroduce him to Disneyland after a 15-year absence. He missed only one major new attraction in all that time, and so he loved riding on Indiana Jones. (We turned in a child's cellphone case found in the queue to a CM, and she rewarded our kindness with passes that allowed us to switch mid-stream to the fastpass line. Yay.)
Sunday's torrential downpour that started mid-ride on California Screamin' was So.Much.Fun. I laughed uncontrollably through the entire last half of that ride. (But, yeah, seconds was unwise in retrospect).
I'm glad Mark decided to get an AP - it really took the pressure off getting on ALL the rides. As it was, we had a beautiful weather mucho ride day on Saturday, and there are only a couple of major attractions to share with him in the future - plus plenty of minor pleasures, romantic date nights, and hopefully group meets in his AP future.
Saturday night was a blur of rad, as I introduced Mark to Remember (abridged) fireworks, Fantasmic (a little far back and to the side, but with zero wait), and my patented Space Mountain Rainbow Glasses LSD Nitrous Oxide spectacular 3 minutes!
Having a hotel room in town was wonderful. Don't get to do that too often. I guess now that my boyfriend has an AP, I'll be visiting the Resort a little more than expected this year. First order of business will be convincing him there's decent food to be had in Downtown Disney (our first visit to Jazz Kitchen was an uncharacteristic fail). I suppose second order of business will be Gay Club Remix sometime soon!
