Crap, I lost my DS stylus, TWEWY is scary dependent on it, and idk if I have a spare AT HOME
So we started off on the train around the park because we're freaking lazy. Decent commentary, I guess. Possibly the best moment:
Sound effects: "RAWR!"
Recorded commentary: "Bla bla bla... Adventureland, where you might run into lots of wild creatures, like lions and tigers--"
Me and Raeann, COMPLETELY UNPLANNED: "AND BEARS. OH MY."
I wanted to go to Finding Nemo but the queue was over nine thousand (read: 75min) so we sodded off to Space Mountain instead. Well, actually we went into the exit first because we're dumb and the entrance was obscure, but once we got on (half hour wait)... Haha, it was fun. I think I spent half the ride laughing at the music.
We met up with Mom's cousins for lunch and stuff but before that we went on the Mad Hatter's teacups, where Raeann and I freaked out Mom by trying to go faster faster faster. 8D We also went on the carousel where I totally felt like I wasn't moving at all, but at least I got some pretendy "GO FASTER!" times in. There were definitely good times trying to pull the Sword from the Stone. Obviously I failed.
I loved Once Upon a Time, the princess shop. I really wanted to buy a Jasmine costume, not because I'm a whore but because I totally bet the kid's size Large would have fit me. (Yes, wishful thinking.) I also really wanted this Ariel dress even though it was teal. It was that awesome. I really disapproved of the Hannah Montana and HSM stuff at the back of the store, though. Hannah Montana is not a princess! D:
Indiana Jones was closed both times we tried to get on it, the second time of which we'd actually been queuing for about half of an hour's estimated wait. I bet if Indy was really there he could have fixed the ride with a piece of string. I DON'T CARE IF THAT'S MACGYVER. I wanted to console myself with Indy merchandise but alas, the whip was $45 and the hat was $48. And, yeah, I still have nomoney. (Well, technically I still had money with me but that's for college apps.) So instead we consoled ourselves on the Jungle Cruise, which had the best script ever. "Look at that, that pride of lions is protecting the zebra!" We did get consolation fast passes to anything in the park that accepted fast pass the second time we were actually queued up but we were too pissed off at life to use them, haha.
I still have no idea how they got a trilogy of movies out of Pirates of the Caribbean but the ride was okay, I guess. The only thing the movies really had over it was Keira Knightley. The animatronics were really good, though. And I liked the crew pirate uniforms. I want a pirate wench corset now. :P
So after the Indy failure I had to go on the Tomorrowland spaceship ride with Raeann, which as I didn't get to drive was thoroughly underwhelming. Bla bla bla cry more, I know.
The parade was awesome and I have totally found my dream job: Being a character or dancing or something. Awesome costume (I'd wanna be, like, a princess or something though instead of being cooped up in a big warm thing) and it didn't look like the choreo was that hard either! Although speaking of characters, despite wanting literally all day to get a photo with Ariel (she was cute, okay? and almost my namesake), we managed to not meet or get the autographs of a single character. How on the happiest place on earth does that work?! I mean, I suppose we met a lot of characters last night but still! We did, however, have Pinocchio and his dad wander past us at one point...pursued by an angry American tourist yelling at him, "PINOCCHIO, STAY STILL, I WANT A PICTURE. DX" You had to be there, I actually cracked up laughing as soon as the guy was past.
On our way out the All American College Band played Main Street and I really liked it. D: That's what our music department needs, a marching band.
The amount of camps running around kinda scared me. Talk about an awesome summer camp. D: Wish we had, like, camps to Rainbow's End or something.
Had dinner out with Mom's cousins as well. I'm a social failure with things like this but at least the food was good (Captain Kidd's all you can eat)...and they're my favorite obscure relatives yet, they didn't ask me what I'm studying next year. LA seems to be good for that; Tita Vance did ask me what I was studying but didn't follow it up with "I thought you were doing computer science?" Of course, afterwards Tito Chris failed to pick up the goddamn phone (DAMNIT, BATMAN) and so we were stranded at Downtown Disney with nomoney for an hour and a half. Unimpressed Caryl was unimpressed.
For those who prefer pictures speaking a thousand words to me, they're off three different cameras so they're hideously out of order but here. I'll go back and tag them later. Maybe.
But. I will leave you with this.
God, I want. ;_;
And on a non-Disneyland note, I got Digimon World: Data Squad today. I don't care that I won't be able to play it. 8D And I watched Data Squad on TV. Well, taped, but, you know? It's so much more fulfilling on a TV with ads. And I am now going to go back into my corner of lame.
