Disneyland 2024 Countdown- Part 7


March 1, 2024
C minus 72 Days
Hey, I think I figured it out. Soarin’ Over California leaves EPCOT as it was part of the 100th Anniversary thingy. Soarin’ Over California arrives in California Adventure as part of their Food and Wine Festival, which means it will likely leave before we get there as that ends in April.
Alas.

C minus 60
Checked at 6:00 AM 60 days before and still couldn’t book any meals. After going back to bed and checking at 9:00AM (6:00 California time) only the first day was available. I called Disneyland at 10:00 AM our time, when they opened. I was fibbed to on earlier phone calls. You can only book each day 60 days in advance. Ugh, Freakin’ California issues.
 
But Pixarfest looks amazing! Parades, characters, floats. Anabelle almost exploded when she saw the Luca float concept art.
With the need for the Giulia outfit returning, and Anabelle getting an Elemental shirt, the Shirt Grid needs an overhaul. Star Wars will be dropped which means Rosa and I can wear our Belle and the Beast shirts after all. YAY!

Lunch on our first full day in California Adventure at the Carthay Lounge is confirmed. This was good practice for going after the hard to get ones in the following days. Blue Bayou appeared… a good sign.

Woo! Breakfast with Minnie and …
Um ...
Whoever the heck else shows up. I booked us for the Plaza at 10 AM on the first full Disneyland Day!
I didn’t go for the later time, ‘cause I don’t want to get thrown out.
[Later Edit- There were so many characters, we did anyway.]
Bayou there again. Fingers crossed.
 
Sigh, I can book meals but there’s still half a month till I can see park hours.
Freakin’ California.

Lamplight Lounge booked for lunch on Wednesday. Only one to go.
Still like THREE WEEKS from seeing park hours.
Freakin’ California, sigh.

Got the Blue Bayou lunch. Will we have to move the California Adventure meals for parades? WHO KNOWS. The whole “park hours” part of the website is down.

All of Critter Country will close May First.  Alas.
Hungry Bear will still be open, but no Winnie the Pooh Ride for us. Alas.
Anabelle- Bruh…
B r u h.
How will I heckle the Davey Crocket canoes? *sad face* I will do it from afar.
Me- Aren’t they in Frontierland?
Oh, they are in Critter Country, but right next to the Hungry Bear which is open, so you should be able to heckle them.
Anabelle- woo!
Rosa *laughs*
[Later Edit- There was heckling.]

Still no hours listed.
I moved the Monday Carthay Circle lunch back an hour in case the parade is early.
[Later Edit- It was the only non-buffet table service we kept. Also, the parade was not early.]
