March 3rd, Part 2

Back out on Mainstreet we spotted this little fellow.



I think it’s Dale isn’t it? I always thought Chip had a red nose, but apparently it’s just a different type of brown...

I’m a bit confused here... I know we rode Splash Mountain several times during our trip. It is quite possible that now is one of them... Quite possible, but I’m not 100% sure...

So anyway, at some stage we headed over to Pirates Lair. Really to us, all this area is, is a photo opportunity place. So we took lots of photos...







We even found a hidden Mickey!



And a highlight for Chris for today – A Bench!!







I got a bit bored of Pirates Lair after a while. I get a little claustrophobic in small, dark, confined places, where I don’t know where they lead. So the tunnels were a little weird... But I enjoyed some of them, like the ones that were interactive – Davey Jones Chest, and the gold that you reach for...

So anyway, we headed back off the island. And according to my pictures, over towards Winnie The Pooh – we quite possibly rode HM again here somewhere. I didn’t mind Winnie the pooh.



Nothing to write home about, but a nice ride all together.

Then, something I’d been waiting a long time for!!!

POOH CORNER!!



Insert Grand Music Here!










I really wanted one of those strawberries, but even though we had lots of money saved up specifically for spending on over priced items, I just couldn’t pay that much for them!!

And of course! What I’d waited so long to try!



A Tigger Tail!!

I tell you what, this holiday really became the holiday for trying as many types of Disneyland food as I could! What with Tigger Tails, Pineapple whips, Monte Christos, churros, the bengal BBQ skewers, loaded baked potato soup, mickey waffles and pancakes! There were so many things everywhere that I wanted to try, I don’t think I even got half of them!

More of this day coming up soon... Where did all the time go??? :confused3

First Day! - Part 3

Next we headed over to the Golden Horseshoe to watch the Hillbillies, the only problem was once we got there, we had no idea where to go or what to do. We asked several cast members where we go with our PS, no one could tell us. We even asked a few random people to see if by any chance they knew. Eventually someone was able to tell us just to take any seat down the front with the tablecloths.

While waiting for the show, from our great vantage point, we even managed to spot a Hidden Mickey!

This was a great show! I’m so glad we saw it, I did want to see it, but I always sort of thought that we’d see it only if we got time. I’m just disappointed now that I didn’t buy their CD!

They were just such good entertainers; I loved the Elvis part, which was pre-teeth,

and I loved the Devil Went Down To Georgia part – which was post-teeth. I laughed so much at these teeth! I know, I know, simple things amuse simple people...

Next we headed back over to DCA for our PS at Wine Country Trattoria. We had to wait for a fair while for our table to come available, which started to annoy us because there were people who did walk ups that were seated before us, despite the fact that we’d already checked in and were waiting to be called…

We were eventually seated though, and the service was good. I got the Lasagne Rustica and it was yummy!

It was dark by the time we finished dinner. I love DCA by night! It’s so photogenic. So I took lots of photos.

We wandered around the park a bit looking at everything. We tried to find “It’s Tough To Be A Bug” but managed to walk right past it and then couldn’t find it at all…

We then went through the sour dough tour. This was ok, a little interesting, but mainly boring…

We then sat down to watch the Electrical Parade. I loved these little things, they were so cool and I couldn’t stop laughing at the sounds they made!

After the parade it was pretty cold and the fireworks had been cancelled due to wind, so we headed back to the hotel for the night. Once again, fell asleep watching The Disney Channel!
