Last Disney trip for a while

6-8 March 2020

I flew by myself to Disneyland for a long weekend. Gary, Emily, Ada, and I planned a trip for later in March but I has already bought a plane ticket and reserved a hotel so I decided to go. And now I’m super glad I did because Disneyland closed on the 14th because of the coronavirus pandemic and we didn’t get to do our trip…also missed the one I had planned on my birthday weekend. 😦 As of today it’s still not open (17 May) and probably won’t be for at least a couple more months.

Pommes Frites, beignets, and Mint
Julep…doesn’t get better than this
Haunted Mansion being refurbished…unusual to see scaffolding at Disneyland
It was much colder than usual so
I treated myself to a warm fuzzy hoodie 🙂
Did a lot of pin trading…completed 3 sets!
Finally got in a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance! Flight and travel put me there mid-morning on Thursday, got a backup boarding group on Friday that never got called 😦
Rise of the Resistance…even the line was cool! Freaking long though…about 2 hours!
I was totally floored by this amazing ride!
Got my highest score on Astro Blasters!
Earned several new achievements on the Data Pad 🙂
The Food and Wine Festival at DCA was excellent as always…plant-based meatball sub complete with adorable Mickey baked into the bun 🙂
I didn’t buy this sweatshirt just to match this Rollicking Roadster…but honestly I should have!
I went on this ride a lot. And I really mean a lot.
Freakiest thing. Got off Rise of the Resistance and the entire land was dark! Heard that maybe it was because of daylight savings and they hadn’t set the lights correctly yet? Not sure but it was surreal…especially after that ride which is just such an experience anyway.
