Disneyland 2024 Countdown- Part 3

Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau have arrived in Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure park!  Hope they’re still there when we go!
[Later Edit- Two outta three was pretty awesome!]

We have a blank grid, and a “rate the table service meals” checklist. I still have no idea what I’m doing. Fun!

I made up ranking grids for all the park attractions…
Like I have any idea what most of them are. Oh well, we’ll have fun with it anyway. At least I remembered to spell check and proof read this one. Anabelle had a great time insulting all the spelling errors on the table service one. I also broke down and made a counter service table, then realized that the table service one didn’t have the color coding and other perks, so I fixed that and reprinted both, causing Anabelle to growl at me and remove a page from her notebook. [Later Edit- Both did fill out the food surveys, and they may have had some vague impact on planning meals, many of which we changed or cancelled anyway. ]
