Disneyland 2024 Countdown- Part 12

April 29, 2024
C minus 13 Days
Wow, we can see the weather on the first days of the trip. It does not feel that close. There is far too much chaos in our lives to get through beforehand, I guess.
 
No Oswald listed; we’ll have to hop over the first day.
Nick Wilde and Boba Fett are listed, don’t remember if I saw them listed before.
 
I called the hotel (IT STILL HAS A PHONE NUMBER, POINT FOR RELAXED AND GROOVY) to ask about getting a microwave. We’d have to ask when there, and they can’t guarantee one. I guess Rosa is bringing gluten free breakfast bars after all.

Disney+ has a banner advertising Pixar Fest. I think they really are trying to make Anabelle explode.

There’s a TARDIS in Downtown Disney at Disneyland! Wow, talk about timing.
Anabelle- Guys, I think Disneyland is the most Magical Place on Earth. Why do they have everything?
Me- Florida is the “Most Magical” California is “The Happiest.”
Probably that “locals versus first time visitors” thing, Disneyland can make constant changes.
 
Anabelle has made a “must meet” list of Characters as we both continue to impose our non “Relaxed and Groovy” will on California. One is listed as “Captain Hook I’m kinda meh about but also its so random I love it.”
[Later Edit- She did not love it.]
 
Oswald is there today. Looks like he’s Thursday to Sunday. Therefore, if we miss him the first day, we can hop to him on the last. Also, Judy Hopps! (Will we hop for Hopps?)
[Later Edit- Well yes, and no and maybe. Freakin’ California.]
Anabelle and I discuss characters, including why Alice has four meeting locations with only one time listed for each. Peter Pan is the same with three. Maybe face characters just wander around in California?
[Later Edit- Or maybe they’re announced and never show up. Freakin’ California.]
 
Wait times don’t look too bad. Should be all right the way we move around.
 
A HA!!!!!  For some reason there is “Lamplight Lounge” and “Lamplight Lounge Boardwalk Dining” listed separately. The former is where we have lunch, the latter just lists drinks and snacks. I am less crazy than I thought!!!
[Later Edit- AAAAaaand it didn’t matter anyway because we cancelled that meal.]

First day updated to California Adventure Park reservation with the help of Awesome Happy California Disney person Emma. Hand written confirmation numbers have been added on all the printed grids, because I’m past printing them out again.
[Later Edit- Meaning we BEGAN by all of us entering a park for the first time together. YAY!]

Lines look really short for Marvel things and Monster’s Dark Ride during Extra Magic Hour Half Hour.
 
Also, Hiro and Judy Hopps both listed for Monday a CA day. Nice!
Anabelle- Oh My God- Slay!
[Later Edit- Judy Hopps is apparently a very busy rabbit.]
 
The Lion King show was where the Pixar party is in Fantasyland. However, it ended in January and Birnbaums still had it.
 
The Pixar Projection show on the castle has no fireworks except the first night.
[Later Edit- See?]
Anabelle- Then that’s when we need to watch it.
[Later Edit- We did not.]
