You know, each time I visit the Disney parks, whether it be Disneyland or California Adventure, I always seem to have a unique experience each time. And I definitely had a unique AND new experience this past Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday.
Now it had nothing to do with Super Bowl but here we thought it would be less busy as everyone is prepping for the big game. Nope! Everyone was at the parks! Maybe everyone had my idea to come early and leave before game time? Who knows.
Anyways, the purpose of Sundays visit was to try and get on the new Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad ride which opened in Toon Town on January 27th. And that we did!! Tried for the virtual queue at 7am and we got boarding group 6. Totally elated!! But that also means, get the heck outta the house ASAP cause as soon as the park opens it’s our turn!
We made it and our boarding group didn’t board yet. Long story short, the ride was down in the morning so the first groups (including mine) wasn’t until a bit after 9:30am. In the meanwhile we got to ride a mere 0 min wait Small World and ran into the one and only, Pinocchio and Geppetto!
As soon as took snapped the pic, we got called to board! We were right outside Toon Town where the new ride is located so it was a quick entry and we walked right through the queue! It was amazing!!
The queue walking in was an experience filled with so many photo ops and the ride itself was enthralling. I won’t spoil anything but definitely sit back and enjoy!
It’s never a dull day when I visit Disneyland or California Adventure and even Downtown Disney! Before heading back home in time to watch the Super Bowl, we had lunch at the recently relocated Earl of Sandwich. It’s just at the entrance to Downtown Disney if you’re coming from the parks. Used to be La Brea Bakery but that closed down. Not 100% sure Earl will be permanently located there but it was fun eating their sandwich again after so long! Now the question is, which sandwich did I eat? 😎
