Day Six (Monday, May 12th)
More Disneyland! This time Jenna joined us.
The last time we were at Disneyland (Summer 2005) we decided to try the restaurant that’s inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It’s called “The Blue Bayou.” They had the best Prime Rib we’d ever had. It was only $17… a steal compared to the $9 hamburgers throughout the rest of the park.
So we made reservations again this year. The food was still excellent – but the Prime Rib was $34 instead of $17. I guess they figured out that it was a good deal. Alas! We just ended up getting one Prime Rib to share, and a couple of Monte Cristo’s (They were good too).
Bridget decided her napkin was a hat.
It was a cold, cold day. Dave and Jenna decided to do Splash Mountain anyway. They were freezing the rest of the day (But Dave wouldn’t admit it).
We met Winnie the Pooh. Notice our stylish sweatshirts… we got them in the Men’s department at Wal-Mart on our way to Disneyland. Apparently they don’t sell Women’s sweatshirts in May. Go figure. But $7 Wally world sweatshirts was a whole lot better than the $40 Disneyland ones.
We called them our “Man sweaters”
I don’t even know what she was doing. We had stopped the stroller to talk to a random Disneyland survey lady and Bridget decided that bending over in the stroller would be a good idea. She’s crazy.
We stayed until the Park closed. 8:30, I believe. Then we went back to the hotel and crashed again. Just in case you were wondering.
That dinner sounds yummy…if we ever go to Disneyland we’ll have to get all the inside info from ya’ll.
Bridget’s pictures are cracking me up, she’s such a little character! 🙂
Would you believe I’ve never been to Disneyland? I’m a little jealous – a vacation sounds like so much fun!
This vacation was our Economic Stimulus payment hard at work. lol! The stimulus check came while we were gone, so it was pretty nice to pay it all off right when we got back.
… but then we paid tuition for Dave’s school. Sigh!
Disneyland is a fun place. I recommend it to both of you. There were still a few things Bridget was too short for – but there were a surprising number of rides she could go on! If you do go and want to try out our Worldmark timeshare let me know, and we’ll hook you up with Bonus Time… it comes out to be $30+/night depending on what time of year you go, and what size room… but it sure beats $99/night hotel rooms – plus you get a fully stocked kitchen and a washer/dryer. We love traveling that way. 🙂
Yummy food! I love the MAN SWEATERS!! That’s funny!
