30 Days of Disneyland - Day 6: Favorite Adventureland Attraction

Day 6 - Favorite Adventureland Attraction

Ah, Adventureland... that quirky and fun section of the park that lures you in and is super crowded by the end of the day thanks to queues that go out into the walk ways... but we love it anyway.

Favorite attraction is definitely the Indiana Jones ride. It's the same technology (and track) as the Dinosaur ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World, but it has Indiana Jones! The story is more fun and there's a lot more to see.

And it terrified Haille Rae both times she's ridden it due to the large snake (she said it's grown). So we'll see how the newbies handle it in September. *evil laugh*

30 Days of Disneyland - Day 5: Favorite New Orleans Square Attraction

Day 5 - Favorite New Orleans Square Attraction

Another ride that is a total "duh!" for me. I love the Haunted Mansion. It's a nice sit down ride that has so much charm, and who doesn't love the spooky Ghost Host? This ride holds a special place in my heart because it's Haille Rae's favorite ride, and even though she isn't coming with me this time (first time in a lot of years she won't be with me at DLR... it will be weird!) I know that I'll be thinking of her... hopefully, though, her favorite ghost (the one that ALWAYS sits with us, creepy!) doesn't continue to follow me around. I'm slightly creeped out that only one of the hitchhiking ghosts seems to sit with us each time on this ride!

Why I love the OUAT Cast - reason 5,823

I love how supportive they are of one another - even after an actor has left the show (though in my heart I really really really hope we have not seen the last of MRJ/Nealfire on Once). Michael Squared (as I've decided to call them lol) are both two of my favorites on and off the show. Great actors.

Just had to get my fangirl moment in there.

Because I haven't *at all* fangirlled today over the news of MRJ's new project... nope, not even a little bit. /lying Okay, I may have interrupted VBS with a not so silent "OMG! *SQUEE!*" when the news hit my twitter feed. Yay for the soonish finally happening and we know what to expect. And GET THIS! He's not going to DIE or have a super tragic storyline... or be a douchey bad guy! OMG! My dream! ha ha!

30 Days of Disneyland - Day 4: Favorite Tomorrowland Attraction

Day 4 - Favorite Tomorrowland Attraction

Tomorrowland is probably my least favorite land in either Disneyland or Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. There just isn't much that interests me, though at night it's awesome all lit up. A photographic delight.

I know most probably would say Space Mountain as their favorite, but that ride terrifies me (more so the single rider one at WDW than the two-seater at DLR). So I'm going to go with one of the cutest rides they've got - Buzz Lightyear. This is very similar to the one at WDW, but it's fun and air conditioned... and you get a ride picture... so, that's all I got.

Besides, I love my Zurgy!

30 Days of Disneyland - Day 3: Favorite Fantasyland Attraction

Day 3: Favorite Fantasyland Attraction

It's definitely the Matterhorn. I was five the first time I rode it. It's one of the few rides I remember vividly (or at all). So very thrilling! I got to take Haille on her first Matterhorn ride in 2011 - and she LOVED it. It broke down the next year and we never got to ride it with her again... oh well, in a few years I'll take her again and we'll go.

Sadly, it will be under refurbishment when we go in September. I cannot begin to tell you just how bummed that makes me. Aimee and Wess need to experience this ride!

30 Days of Disneyland - Day 2: Favorite Main Street Attraction

Day 2 - Favorite Main Street Attraction


I've only seen this attraction once, I was five, and Lincoln malfunctioned and "died" on stage. And yet, it's still one of my favorites. It is one of Walt's greatest achievements, one of his favorite attractions, and it's my favorite American leader. I am a big fan of the Civil War era history, yet another thing Walt and I have in common I suppose.

I WILL see this attraction come hell or high water this time around. I'll go by myself if I have to.

30 Days of Disneyland - Day 1: Favorite Land

Day 1 - Favorite Land

Disneyland's Main Street U.S.A. is by far my favorite section in the park. I know that seems silly considering it's just shops and ice cream... but I love the atmosphere. I love that it's how you have to enter the park. I love the smells, the lights, the architecture... the fact that Walt walked and lived there... and in some ways still does.

Sure the whole park is Walt's park. It's the one he saw built to "completion" (though he said DLR would never be completed, that it would always be changing), it was the one he visited... the one he dreamed about... and Main Street is where it began... because it was a tribute to his childhood. Where he lived and grew up. Sure it's the "Disney version" of such places, but who wants to live in the real world when you can live in Disney's land?

I love stopping by Walt's apartment to say hello (and goodbye on my way out of the park at the end of the trip). The light is ALWAYS on in memory of the man behind the mouse, behind the magic. I love having breakfast (Mickey Waffle tradition!) at The Carnation Cafe. I love stopping at the Confectionery and watching them make the different candied treats (and the smell, OMG!). The streetmosphere, the trollies, the trains, the music! I CAN'T WAIT!

(Also, I've not seen the Lincoln attraction since I was 5, if I don't get to see it this trip I'm going to have a tantrum. Erin, Aimee, Wess... you've been warned!)
