I loved the wave water thingie, if you guys know what I'm talking about. But this is pretty.
At that point, we wanted breakfast. And Eamon wanted Mickey pancakes. So we walked (with purpose) over to
Disneyland and to RiverBelle Terrace.
As anyone who has gotten those pancakes there knows, they use a maraschino cherry and some sort of raisin or currant, and pineapple for facial features. E likes the pineapple, but knows there are ingredient oddities with maraschinos, and the currants/whatever freak him out, so most of the fruit isn't eaten by him. He really really does not want to deal with those fruits, so this time he asked me to actually cut out the pancake parts that were sullied. (this isn't just pickiness, it's nervousness about the ingredients in these things, especially the cherry, so I'm cool with it)
Well, this results in Zombie Mickey....
Alternatively called Angry Bat.
As usual, there was much wandering around.
I know the usual suspects would be Pirates & Pooh. E clamored for Splash and I clamored for Haunted Mansion. Neither of us was successful with our clamoring. Big Thunder was ridden at some point.
But the fun attraction for us, as always (when we're there at the right time), are the Canoes! (obviously I didn't take this shot while paddling)
Remember that gritting your teeth in anger looks just the same as a big smile, from far away! (thank you, canoes guide, for that tidbit)
I would never eat these (omg the sugar rush), but they are fun to look at!
It's duckling season!
While refilling water at Zocalo:
Wandered all the way back behind Big Thunder. Ew, the petting zoo area stinks when it's hot. Came out into Fantasyland, and could not get the actual shocking RED color of these flowers to translate to the camera!
I think there was Toad and possibly Alice (though that seems unlikely), but I *needed* a hat. The cotton hat I bought at WDW is adorable, but when I started sweating it's just disgusting and embarrassing! Might as well just dump water on the cap and be done with it (actually that probably would have been wonderful). So I wanted a "technical" fabric hat. And I found one, the white one with a pink D (that apparently looks gold from a distance...Robert saw it as gold twice, which is odd).
Eamon, however, got distracted.
Don't look now, but a whale is eating the tourists!
What a job!
He still loves the Carrousel, which I think is nice. I rode it too (unusual for me), so no picture!
Oh, wait. One picture.
