Live from Disneyland!

[dcfromva]

I am taking a break from DL/CA Adventure. I thought I would check in for a few minutes.

We've been here since late Friday evening (we have been a bit jet lagged--DH and I can't stay up past 8:00pm and we wake up at 3:30am every morning :) )

We have had a chance to ride the New Winnie the Pooh Ride. (It is a real winner with the younger crowd --i. e. nieces ages 4 an 8). There is a candy shop at the end of the ride which makes chocolate covered eveything you can imagine (fruit, marshmellows, pretzels....) Not that I noticed or anything....

The weather on Sat and Sun was pretty nice. Today, it was a bit on the chilly side with rain. It seems to have kept the crowds down. (Look at me--relaxing at my hotel room :) ).

Saturday night, we went to check out the new Aladdin show, I can tell you that there are 101 stairs to the top balcony. (And in order to get front row balcony seats, you have to go down what seems like 150 more stairs--when you exit you have to go back up to the top again !) It is a great view, though. The show is great.

We have tried out some new passes--which allow folks to hold more than one fast pass at a time. This system really seems to work pretty well.

If anyone needs any special information regarding DL, let me know and I'll try to find out whilst I'm here :).

Thanks everyone!

Bambi,
New pooh ride. Did they get rid of Mr. Toad Ride?
Don't worry, Mr. Toad is just fine at DL! They replaced The Country Bear Jamboree.... As a result, the new Winnie the Pooh ride is not in Fantasyland as one might expect.
Mickeymac,
Oh yeah, and if you've seen Spectromagic I'd heard they are discontinuing it
We haven't seen the parade yet this time (maybe we'll see it tonight, if we can stay awake that late :) ). Last time we were here (last November), one of the floats broke down and the performers were stuck. We had the dancers in front of us. (It was fun to see how they gracefully moved the performers "off stage" We walked up the line a bit to where the step sisters were and we got to enjoy more of their routine --which included insulting the audience hee-hee-hee).
