a very merry unbirthday

8/17

I visited Disneyland for the second time this week! I went to celebrate a good friend of mine's birthday. We had Minnie and Friends Breakfast at the Plaza Inn, and my god was it amazing. It seems a little pricey at first, but the breakfast buffet and character interaction makes it feel well worth it. I'm not used to seeing so many characters in one place, and I was of course going crazy every time someone came to our table. The breakfast was pretty tasty.

YUMM.






Aside from Minnie, I was most excited to meet Fairy Godmother! She called me a princess! She also noticed my Star Wars watch and informed me that Boba Fett and Captain Rex were to be making appearances in Tomorrowland. I of course lost my head and got ridiculously excited. I'm not really sure if they'll be doing meet and greets or will be a part of the Jedi Training Academy, but either way I plan on camping out in Tomorrowland until I find out for sure!



Minnie Mouse! When she came over by our tables, everyone flipped out. She was so cute!

Nothing else really new to report, aside from the quick progress that is being made in Sunshine Plaza/Buena Vista Street with the dismantling and gutting of Engine-Ears Toys. The newer DCA maps now show the temporary entrance that will be opening soon as more work continues on Sunshine Plaza's transformation into Buena Vista Street.


The turnstiles look really great, I can't get over what a huge improvement it is from the last blah turnstiles. I know, I know that it's a direct clone of the DHS turnstiles. I wish it was original too. But this is much better than what was there before. Yes, I know that doesn't excuse it. But oh well, what's done is done.

I would like to see Soarin' get a refurb, the queue has paint chipping in places. The screen could use some tlc as well.

Haunted Mansion also needs a refurb, it especially shows in the Stretching room, where paint is chipping and the walls creak as they stretch. Good thing it always gets a nice little refurb when it changes back from Haunted Mansion Holiday in January.

Ok well that should do it for this report! Thanks for reading!
