Disneyland 2024 Countdown- Part 8

Booked the Limo rides to and from Newark Airport, and booked the cab rides from and to John Wayne Airport…
Or I thought I did.
Confirmation for the ride from the Airport to Disneyland came with the wrong date. I called the company to adjust it and was told you can’t reserve a ride FROM the airport without an account. I asked how I managed to do it and was told it was a mistake. (The website clearly lets you do this AND gives you a trip code.) He said the only way to do it was to have an account. I asked how to get an account and he said, “You have to have an account.” After some vaudevillian back and forth, he said the only way to get a cab from the airport is use the Cab Stand where they have a big line of them.
I may try booking it again, just in case.
Freakin’ California may give me an aneurysm.
[Later Edit- Getting the cab was one of the most Relaxed and Groovy experiences we had.
Getting back on the other hand...]

Sad news- A Few Dry Moments With Mr. Lincoln (the Hall of One President) and the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail (rock climbing, slides and a pseudo bungee jump) will be closed when we’re there. I think we’ll survive.
Anabelle- NO… Forever????
Me- While we’re there.
Anabelle- Oh, OK. That’s fine.
Rosa- *laughs*
 
We brought Anabelle back from college for spring break and the power of Pixar Fest, and watching Elemental (which she got a new shirt for) cemented changes to a bulk of the shirt grid. We are starting to get into the “Relaxed and Groovy” vibe.

Whoah, speaking of on the fly, today when they announced an outfit change, I learned one of the characters at Chef Goofy’s will be Clarabelle.  We now have a noon breakfast there the last day.
Oh wait, Anabelle pointed out that spring outfit with Clarabelle thing ends our first day, so we have dinner booked then too.
[Later Edit- We went to both. It was a good move. Relaxed and Groovy for the win.]

Continued reveals of the Glory of Pixarfest and the Clarabelle meal means the shirt grid needed another overhaul. Anabelle used this notion as a good reason to work out her entire Enhanced Outfit Grid.

Looks like Grad night closes California Adventure an hour early Tuesday and Wednesday night when we’re there.
[Later Edit- Did we turn in early and get some much needed rest either of those nights?
NOPE! We hopped to the park that was open an hour LATER than California Adventure usually closes.
Why? “It’s us!”]

Autopia is changing to electric vehicles. Now instead of cramped, boring and smelly, it will just be cramped and boring.
