The park today - 11-20-22

[WonkaKid]

As seems typical these days, the crowd at the rope seemed heavy. However, it seemed to thin later. A number of attractions weren’t open at 8:00. Indiana Jones, Matterhorn, Space Mountain and all of Star Wars Land, I believe. Seemed like a lot.

I missed the park last Sunday due to COVID. I emerged from quarantine on Monday, although the fatigue is still very much with me. I felt fine up until 11:30 today..: and then the fatigue had a tantrum and insisted that we leave immediately, which I did :-(. Oh well. I did my best and I’ll be back at the park on Thanksgiving.

Met a number of nice people, as per usual. There was a particularly pleasant family from Colorado at the rope (the dad is the guy with the Haunted Mansion tattoo in the pic below). His wife guessed that I was 35… which I’m not. I’m a bit older. But it’s always nice to get a few years knocked off for good behavior. Or bad behavior. I’m not particular ;-).

Around 10:30 I overheard two woman as they made their way to SWL. One of them said that she was excited to ride “the Millennial Falcon” ;-). Over the years, I’ve also heard people refer to the Haunted Mansion as “the haunted house.” No judgement, of course. But to someone who’s visited the park at least 200 times, those kinds of things really stand out.

Some pics.

P.S. The dog belongs to a friend but she brings him to my place often. He looks to me for the longer adventure walks, which I’m happy to provide. In the pic, he looks like some shady fight promoter as he smokes a cigar and plots thrown fights ;-)

Glad to see you were able to go to DL today. Great scores on Buzz. Wow, that Haunted Mansion tattoo is amazing. Love all the pictures !

Thanks for the great trip report. Glad you're on the mend, and hopefully the exhaustion is improving.

I'm still cracking up over the "Millennial Falcon." So many images came to mind

ETA: I'm a millennial. Just wanted to make sure that didn't come off as judgy!

Great pics as always (especially the treats!)

Still sad to hear you’re not up to par but hoping you’ll enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday.

Nice to see your report and hear that you are feeling better. I'll be at Disneyland this week, coming in from Wisconsin. I'll keep and eye out for you, I met you in July/August of 2021 by Dumbo. By the way, that dog is very cute!

I plan to rope drop on Thursday (as always). Not sure which side I'll be on. I haven't been on Pirates or HM in quite some time so I might do that. But often I find that siren song of Fantasyland too hard to ignore ;-). I love riding Dumbo and Mr. Toad first thing. It feels like I'm starting the day in the best way possible.
