Photo TR: DLR June 16th

[socalMAN123]

Hey yall!

Well, yesterday, I ventured out into the wilds of DLR to see what the summer crowds were like. I was also out at DLR to renew my pass. The summertime crowds weren't that bad, but moderate. First on our checklist was to go buy our passes. TIP: If you ever need to buy passes and the ticket booth lines are way long, go to guest services right by the lockers. The good thing about the guest services is if you had a pass in the past two years, they print a brand new pass with your old picture right there. So we (my sister and I) got in a super short entry line and got into Disneyland park. First order of buisness in the park, to ride Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. I've been on it twice, but my sister hadn't. We hopped in the 25 minute wait and was soon in those little cars shooting away. I got a pretty good score, 74,400, while my sister did GREAT for her first time, her score was 24,400. After Buzz, we found ourselves wandering around Tommorowland for a while. We went ot check out Matterhorn's wait, but it wrapped all the way around the mountain. I said we should go do Splash Mountain, but my sister didn't feel like doing that right now. So we headed over to Jungle Cruise. About a 20 minute wait was pretty good for what was coming up. The monkeys with guns rule! I was in the front, but I didn't get wet. The coolest part was the pirhana attack. It looked so real. When we got off that, I told my sister that now we go do Splash Mountain. We got over there, didn't want to wait in an 85 minute line, so we headed over to the Single Riders. Only about 20 minutes. Let me tell you how sucky the logs are now. The back seat can fit two people or one. How's that for safety? Well, I got the front and was only a little damp. Next, we buzzed on over to Village Haus and shared a pizza and salad. Then we were off to DCA. As soon as we entered the park, their new parade, Block Party Bash, started. We decided to watch a little bit of it and actually, it was pretty cool. But we had to get ToT in, so we scrambled over there. A 40 minute wait, not that bad. Great ride. Awesome effects. Nice cast members. Up next was the almighty California Screamin. We got front row and had a lot of airtime. That was my 129th ride on Screamin. My sister wanted to see the parade, but by the time we got over to Disneyland, the parade had been done for an hour. So we got in line for the Matterhorn. Halfway through the line, my dad calls us saying we have to be at the drop-off area in 15 minutes. So we had to leave the line, make our way through all the people waiting for the fireworks, and then my sister spots out some candy she wants to buy my dad for Father's Day. That takes us 15 minutes just to buy three candy bars. Then we made our way out to the drop-off area. My dad wasn't mad, but we told him that we got held up by some people who refused to move.

Anybody like it?

Only the first picture worked. The slide show isn't showing the pictures.

 

I've found it easier to just link people to your photo site and let them view the pics on their own.

 

Good TR though, sounds like DCA was alot more crowded yesterday then it was on Saturday. We walked on ToT 3 times.
