LoT Meet for Carsland Craziness: June 15th - Page 6

It's amazing to me that Soarin' actually held my interest for 10 rides ... and I still enjoy it if exposing it to someone who's never been on it.

I haven't ridden Racers yet, but for now - I think my favorite DCA attraction is Toy Story Mania. It's not really a park short on good attractions, but it's still short on attractions I'm personally excited to experience (though I find many of them perfectly pleasant).

The same ennui holds true of Disneyland, but only because I'm so intensely bored with most of them - after literally hundreds of rides. But I'd not hesitate to say that there are at least 8 Disneyland attractions that are "better" than anything in DCA, imo of course.

Soooooo.... anything happening in DCA today ?

Kevy Baby · 06-15-2012, 10:07 PM

Saw some friends, tried some new attractions, took in the sites. Overall, a nice day.

Unless you've been following me on FB, then you know how I really feel (hint: I REALLY liked it).

I think I'll roll in sometime after 1:00, check out the sites of Buena Vista street and grab a bite at the 3 Pigs (Is there a Starbucks in there?). Then maybe catch some street performers doing some period music and a little Who's afraid of the big bad wolf.

I hear the Bar at Cathay Circle is something not to be missed so maybe I'll have one of those Cathay Manhattans - you know, the one's they make with a single Ice Sphere? If I'm luicky maybe I can get Kevy & Kieth to join me.

Then after I've checked out Buena Vista, I'll slowly make my way to cars land to check out the ambiance there. Who knows, maybe the single rider line will be reasonable enough to catch a ride so late in the day?

Depending on how the day goes, I may also stay to see the lighting of all the neon signs - especially the one for Lube-o-rama - and say hi to John Lasseter should I see him.

I'll probably still leave before closing but may swing through the mad tea party on my way out.

Yeah, that sounds like a perfect day...

I posted a bunch of pictures on Facebook. Sorry for not being more selective.

I am Sofa King tired.

Kevy Baby · 06-16-2012, 08:51 AM

I don't know if it is because I was tired or because life has been "less than ideal" for me lately (or a combination of the two), but I found myself tearing up a few times yesterday. The place is just wonderful!!! The overall look and feel of Buena Vista street and Cars Land is just stunning. And then the attention to the minute details is just astounding (I'm still tripping over the plants they found that look just like weeds for the queue in Mater's Junkyard Jamboree).

The place is magical. Spending the crazy day with crazy friends: it couldn't have been better (unless more of you were there).

Cocktails at the Carthay? Somewhat tempting to go on one of the last Saturdays I'll be able to for a while (I switch to Deluxe mid-summer).
