^I doubt they'd relocate the ride this early in the park's lifespan. If the coasters' troubles are really structural and engineering based, then relocating it won't solve the problem.

Really great to see that this is in fact going to be a custom El Loco! I'm curious to just how spread out this ride will be!

Fixed.

This park looks to be all kinds of amazing!

Love the look of those unique slides! Here's hoping Legoland Florida adds some slides like that to the Legoland Water Park!

This is exactly why they will limit it to two park ticket holders.

^They've done it plenty of times in the past on both coasts. I'm really surprised they didn't just modify the show to remove that character profile... They changed Mitt Romney's rap song in Florida after a controversial article hit the web.

SeaWorld San Diego has just announced that Explorer's Reef is set to debut on March 21st, 2014!

^^Shame on you Joey! Stanley Falls is almost as classic as the now-defunct family style meals at the Crown Colony House Restaurant!

Neat to see Thriller/Zonga/Texas Tornado/Tsunami is still making the rounds!

^That statement implies that people actually saw the last Mummy movie.

(Continued) Seriously couldn't get enough of Luigi's Flying Tires on this trip! I'm a dork... No cones about it. Okay, maybe one cone about it. I hop between parks frequently. And I marvel a lot at Rocket Rods track... You should start to know these things about me... Feels so different now... So awesome. I decided to finish off my trip somewhere special... No, it wasn't the Cupcake Store. No, it wasn't at this makeshift volleyball court. Give you a hint. Time for some final food and fun at Trader Sam's! Ahi Tuna Poke for the win! And more Pu Pu Platter for good measure! Hiya Slappy! Hiya FDR! The Krakatoa Punch at Trader Sam's packs more than a few punches! So I lied, and went back for a little more time in the park... In case you ever wanted to try Walt's Drink of Choice... A sign of the Birdpocalypse. A few more moments to take in this favorite show of mine. Farewell good friend. WANT. Found this gem in LAX. A funny conclusion to an amazing trip...

(Continued) I'll always miss this. So pretty at night! More than just a statue in a pet cemetary. So much win. Still looks great at night. I love walking through Tomorrowland at park close. Something about it just feels so different. Oooh... Awww.... Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. This too. This park just looks amazing at night. Thank you again, sir. Needs more Light Magic. Needs much more Light Magic. I was one of the last people to leave the park that night... So quiet... So peaceful... Time to spend more time at California Adventure! Perfection is here. Gunning for my heart, they were. Never gets old. Never, ever, ever. Intamin goodness! I love the Silly Symphony Swings. Intamin ride! Intamin ride! Intamin ride! Tower of Terror from a bug's perspective. Still want to experience the Lilly Belle for myself some day. I love that you can still see the 50th anniversary film with Steve Martin as a pre-pre-show for Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. A model of the very original, original Disneyland Park. Throwback to the American Adventure. I can never get enough of Mickey's Soundsational Parade. Hi Elissa! They can fly! The Mary Poppins portion of the parade is brilliant! Wind can make for some fun balloon photos. I always love patronizing Shrunken Ned. Skipped Tarzan's Treehouse this time... Figured I should check out the new Fantasy Faire area at some point. It was neat to stand under the old Carnation Gardens pavilion for a new reason. Fun little details. Clopin's Music Box was neat too. At night the Tangled Tower glows! So cool! This makes me smile. As does this...

(Continued) There's nothing quite like taking the time to enjoy the entertainment of New Orleans Square. The original has a very unique charm to it... I love the land-specific popcorn turners at Disneyland. This one is a representation of the Phantom of the Opera, a former walk around character previously found in the park during the early years. Farewell Court of Angels. Fun Fact: This train depot was used to shoot a scene out of the "Two Brothers" sequence found in Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln and The American Adventure. Did you know one of the Mike Fink Keelboats still rests along the Rivers of America? Yep, lots of people sharing in my excitement to see the Captain EO Tribute. I love this show! Hooter!!! Time to revisit Innoventions for something new... Iron Man Tech is definitely bringing people into Innoventions, which is great! Love this! Love this too! I'd never noticed this Yeti footprint before. Never gets old. This is a neat little detail at the exit of Toy Story Mania. In other words, it explains how you were shrunk down to size to play the games. Hehe. John Lassetire! So many fun details in Cars Land! Someone's been hitting the bottle... Sadly Minnie's Fly Girls Charter Airline stopped service yesterday. Such awesomeness! How many photos can I take of this? A lot. And my annual photo tradition continued. Time to go inside... The Sleeping Beauty Castle walk through is still tons of fun to check out! The dioramas depict classic animation with some modern effects. My favorite scene of them all. Most impressive. Also a favorite of mine is the Wine Country Trattoria World of Color Dinner Package. This time around, I could actually enjoy the wine part. Hey Wrapper, give us a chance. You think they wanna hear that old stuff? Salad? Still one of the best lamb shanks I've ever had. Dessert goodness! Okay, so I did take a few photos of World of Color after all. Just a few... Only a few more... Last one, I think. I have no shame. But I do really love everything about Cars Land. Buena Vista Street continues to be one of my favorite hangouts at the Disneyland Resort. Back over to Disneyland Park for a bit... There was a new exhibit in the Disney Gallery dedicated to the Enchanted Tiki Room, one of my favorite attractions. WANT! So, I ended up buying these a few months later in Florida. YES!!! Rocketeer popcorn turner for the win!
