Sundry, Various and Whatever
Why haven't I blogged in awhile? I dunno, don't have much to say I guess. Not a good way to start off an entry is it? I would certainly be graded down for this lead if I were in Journalism class.
Over the last two weekends we have spent four days at Disneyland, three between 4-11 and 4-13 and then last Sunday for a day. April is FULL of Birthdays for us, the 12th is Melissa's, 13th is my step-father Dennis' and the 19th is my Mom. I actually went back a couple years on my iCal, and discovered that we're ALWAYS busy in April, because of all the frickken birthdays. Ugh.
Four days at DLR in two weeks is a lot for anyone, even passholders, and now we have the Premium passes so we can go ANY time we want. I don't see us going again until at least the second week of May, if not June. In fact, I'm kind of Disenylanded out...if that's possible. I could go to DCA though, I haven't been on Tower of Terror in awhile, nor have we been on Soarin' in some time. I did ride Grizzly River Rapids during one of the scorching hot days, and that was simply awesome, though I didn't get wet enough dammit.
We're slowly making our way through doing every ride/attraction at DLR, but it's getting tough. There's just some stuff I have no interest in riding; like the Tea Cups, and some of the stuff over at DCA quite frankly, scares me. I know they're supposed to be "carnival" rides, but that big orange thing just looks evil. Plus there's the one that drops you and has a face guard. Sorry, I don't ride anything with a face guard.
Rode Space Mountain twice in a row, again. That's what happens with the ride-swap and three adults. It's quite enough too, the second time is always a bit more jarring than the first. Still love SM though, can't believe it's over 30 years old, but then they did refurb it recently.
Being Mel's birthday, she got the $69 fun card, coupled with our new merchandise discount, and Annual Passholder appreciation days (20% off at Down Town Disney's World of Disney) she got a ton of, well, clothes and jewelry.
Tomorrow is the LA Times Book Festival. We're not going for the first time in 10 years. Just too tired and don't want to deal with the crowds. I don't think I'll miss it. There's always next year.
That's about it I guess. Nothing really special going on.
