Disneyland 2024 Countdown- Part 10

One Month From Today (Disney California Edition)
It will be the first time EVER that all three of us have an initial visit to a Disney Park together.
California Adventure here we come!
[Later Edit- This was really cool. This was also the first time any two of us entered a Disney Park together for the first time. I did the original three Disney World ones as a kid. Rosa and I went to Disney World together for our first Anniversary, (Anabelle is still bitter that we did not take her, in spite of being about a year away from existing.)
However, Rosa had a day trip including Animal Kingdom before we met. My ancient day trips to Disneyland meant this trip was the first time any two of us entered a park for the initial visit together.]
 
Anabelle- C A R S L A N D!

One Month From Today (Disney California Edition)
A full day in Disneyland at fifteen and a half hours after two park days and jet lag.
Honestly, whatever happens, as long as we don’t kill each other, I’m counting it as a win!
Breakfast with Minnie and a cast of surprises should help getting the day off to a groovy start!
[Later Edit- It counted as a win!]

One Month From Today (Disney California Edition)
A return to California Adventure.
Will we use the Pixar Parade times to jump on smaller lines?
Or will Anabelle's parade whore nature mean we watch it four times in three days? (or more with park hopping?)
Who can say?
Anabelle- Bruh, I just saw your email. If you think I’m not watching the Pixar Pals Parade at least four times you are crazy. Unless it’s like, really boring, but I doubt it.
Me- Noted.
[Later Edit- It was not really boring. We sat down for it twice but did at least see part of it a total of five times, mostly by accident getting into the Relaxed and Groovy nature.]
 
Disneyland sent us an email reminding us to do everything we’ve done already.
They’re so cute.

One Month From Today (Disney California Edition)
Another planned fifteen and a half hour day in Disneyland for the big park finale.
There will be fun, parades, rides…and possibly pitching face down into our gumbo at the Pirate restaurant.
[Later Edit- With the cancellation of the Pirate Restaurant, we were forced to pitch face down elsewhere.]

Anabelle got insider information that Photon and Ms. Marvel show up in Avengers Campus. YAY! We initially expected this based on them having the most recent film, but given how that film performed (wrongly, because it was awesome) I was concerned.
[Later Edit- A) We knew this already. B) Only one showed up for us but Carol was there too. C) They weren’t on the schedule. Relaxed and Groovy.]
 
Her friend is going this week and promised to provide intel.
 
One Month From Today (Disney California Edition)
Will we spend the day Downtown Disney Shopping? [Later Edit- Yes.]
Will we have a send off meal with Pluto, Chip and Dale? [Later Edit- Also yes.]
WHO KNOWS?????? [Later Edit- Clearly not us.]
We are embracing the California Relaxed and Groovy lifestyle. [Later Edit- No.]

There are a huge number of “atmosphere entertainment” and shows listed for today in the parks, almost none of that is listed for when we’re there yet.
We will have to decide what we’re doing…
On the fly.
*Shudder*
Freakin’ California

Entertainment is listed for the beginning of May so that’s… something.

Autopia is going to have electric cars…
By Fall 2026.
So, it will still be stinky when we go.

Anabelle’s friend went to Disneyland and sent her some scouting reports. She saw Suzi Mouse Minnie, Daisy and Chip & Dale at The Plaza breakfast. Only one rare character, but Daisy counts too. She also ran into Pete in Toontown. The big news is Oswald is in California Adventure, but usually only on weekends. We may have to HOP over there the day we arrive.
[Later Edit- Or, in fact, reverse hop.]
