graemlins/sleepin.gif Woke up today about 6:30am, made coffee and got ready before waking Ron. We were out the door and at Disneyland’s gate by opening (8:30am) and stopped in the Blue Ribbon Bakery for coffee, mocha and oatmeal raisin cookies. graemlins/tasty.gif After listening to Walt’s speech, we headed up to Fantasyland for rides on Peter Pan’s Flight, Snow White, Mr. Toad, Alice in Wonderland and It’s a Small World. We took a cruise on the Mark Twain after this, rode Pirates of the Caribbean, then went over to Adventureland to catch another showing of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room. graemlins/thumbsup.gif After the Tiki Room, we wandered back down Main Street, stopped in the Candy Palace for a treat, then lined up in Frontierland for the 11:45am Billy Hill and the Hillbillies show. We enjoyed our last Billy show of the trip :( then headed out of Disneyland and over to DCA to catch a set of the Barncats. The Barncats weren’t playing in their regular spot (Farmers Market), so we had to track down a Cast Member who knew where they were. We found them over near the Grizzly River Rapids ride. (There was a Mexican festival this weekend and it was very loud over near the Farmers Market area so they were moved just for today.) We were lucky enough to catch the beginning of a set, then they took a lunch break so Ron and I walked over to the Lost Bar for a sandwich and a couple of graemlins/beer.gif between sets. We caught another of the Barncats’ sets graemlins/smokin.gif then went back to the hotel to begin packing for the trip home tomorrow. Packed a little, ironed some clothes and took a nap because we were meeting some friends for drinks (off-site) tonight.
After napping, we met our friends and spent a couple of hours with them before heading back to Disneyland. It’s our tradition to always spend our last night around Rod’s piano at Coke Corner. We made it in plenty of time and were really hungry (no dinner, just graemlins/beer.gif ) so we each got a hotdog and a coffee to enjoy while we listened to Rod play. Disneyland closed at 10:00pm this evening. We talked with Rod for a while after closing, took our last evening walk around the Hub, looked at the Castle and left Disneyland for the night. We pretty much finished the packing, watched some TV and fell asleep quickly. graemlins/sleepin.gif
