Disneyland's Birthday: A LoT Event - Page 2

innerSpaceman · 07-13-2012, 11:20 AM

Yeah, it's definitely going to be an after-work for me, too. Just, really, to set foot in the Park to hold to the unbroken tradition.

Looks like it will be an after work event for me too now.

Anyone who is thinking of going to DCA for Disneyland's birthday needs to remember that DCA opened in Feb.

Get your priorities straight.

I have my operation the day before, so I will see how I feel. I've been going every year since the 40th, so I'd hate to miss it.

Theo has a gym class that morning, but late afternoon/early evening is possible.

CoasterMatt · 07-14-2012, 10:13 PM

We'll basically be there all day.

I'm actually kind of burned out on the park for the summer. Three consecutive full days with the three rental kids, including an overnight waiting for wristbands... plus two additional open-to-close days with them before they left... it was wonderful, but stick a fork in me.

I very much want to try out Carthay and hang out more in DCA, but I think that can wait until the weather cools and the kids are back in school.

OK... I'll be there in November!

I tried out Carthay last night. It's a really nice place, and the food was good if not outrageously yummy. It's a bit overpriced and I don't really need to dine there again. BUT the cocktails were great, and better than you get elsewhere in the Resort for the same price, so I see a goodly amount of the Carthay Lounge in my future.

And a goodly amount of newly enjoyable DCA 2.0 in that future - but NONE of that tomorrow night. Of course, I mean to say I'll be arriving pretty late - and, the occasion being what it is, I mean to devote those very few hours to Disneyland.

Howzabout a fireworks meet-up?

I wanted to stay for fireworks last night, but my other half wanted to head home right after dinner - so we could promptly fall asleep for our line-up of fave TV shows that air one after the other after the other on Sunday nights.

So .... I'm craving fireworks, and that makes Disneyland more palatable when it seems a little on the boring side while DCA 2.0 is still sparkling new.

Since Matt and I are heading down for opening we will be going not DCA at some point during the day and spending time in Disneyland of course. even though it's Disneyland's birthday with the new addition of Cars Land DCA appeals to us much more than ever. Just can't get enough.

innerSpaceman · 07-16-2012, 12:41 PM

Oh, if I were there the whole day, MOST of it would be spent in DCA. But for those of us who are coming late after work (and I will be the most late, coming from L.A), it's GOT to be Disneyland - or why bother being there for Disneyland Birthday.

(Of course, I spent the entirety of the vaunted 55th almost entirely inside Club 33 - but that's at least legitimately inside Disneyland. Still, I felt so weird that all I had time for in the Park proper was the famous closing time Funny S Walk. Le sigh - it was weird to have only a few minutes of Disneyland on Disneyland Birthday.)
