Trip Report Day 4 - DL and CA
Another Disney Day!!!! Off to DL for park opening at 9 and went straight back to Fantasyland, as we had not been there yesterday and there are attractions there we have never done. Went to Pinocchio's Daring Journey - very cute. Snow White was 30 min already (??), so we skipped that and went to Mr Toad (another new ride for us), which loaded slow, but was fun once we were on it - about 15 minutes wait. We then did the Storybook Land Boats - very well done, and then went to the back of FL and enjoyed It's a Small World - lots of similarities and lots of differences compared to WDW. Rode Alice in Wonderland - also well done and a new one for us. It was now late morning and we wanted to catch the first Aladdin show at 1220, so we headed over to CA for lunch at Taste Pilots - a very mediocre burger - kind of lukewarm with runny BBQ sauce and bleu cheese - really not very good at all. Probably the worst burgers we've ever had at a Disney Park. We went straight to The Hyperion Theater for Aladdin, which is SPECTACULAR!!! We had seen it once before, and still sat amazed, especially by the incredible talent of the genie. We then walked over to the Monsters Inc ride, which is new and fun, very similar to the dark rides in Fantasyland. We walked around the park a while, and didn't find much of interest, as none of us are thrill riders. My Wife and kids rode Soarin, which they enjoyed. Then we headed back over to DL, but at this point (around 3:00), it was quite busy so we rode Matterhorn ( the side we hadn't rode yesterday), and Buzz, then caught the monorail to Downtown and did some souvenir hunting. We grabbed some supper at the ESPN Zone, and headed back to Newport, which I found without incident this time. Back to DL in the morning!!:cloud9:
