This has been a while for me on my
Disneyland trip report which I am so busy with basketball and work. I’m still behind on my WDW TR which was back in October and didn’t post any pics or talked about my experience during the Candlelight Processional back last year in December. So it will be some time until I finish the rest of my WDW TR.
It has been tough these past few months with everything and I will get to write my latest trip report to the DLR this past weekend. You say another trip back to the DLR last month which I haven’t announced. To tell you the truth, this trip was set a few days before we left on Saturday the 27th to the 28th. Why would I go down there for one night instead of my usual two nights which the 7 hour trip to SoCal doesn’t seem like it would be worth it. I wasn’t originally planning on going until I talked to DAW about the possible trips coming up including the one that I made during the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival returning next month in April. The trip will be the first weekend of April on the 1st to 3rd which I might be crazy to book since it is during the first weekend of the F&W Festival and during Spring Break. But I wasn’t worried about that and wanted to go.
This trip was with DAW who also wanted to get away from work which she was working hard at her school. So she wanted to get away for a few days and what other better place to go is with me at the DLR. This trip was during the last weekend of the AP Days at the Disneyland Resort which was for the whole month of February which gives DL AP holders things to see like special screenings of classic cartoons, free water & popcorn. They also handed out special buttons for the four theme weeks. The week that we wen was during “A World of Tomorrows” the last week of February.
We left on Saturday morning and got to Anaheim around 1pm. The first thing we didn’t before we head on over to our hotel which was Best Western Park Place Inn, we had lunch at Mimi’s Café on Harbor Blvd.
After lunch, we head to the hotel and dropped of the car. We couldn’t get in yet since our room was not ready so we just left our stuff in the car and head on over to the DLR. It was only for about less than half an hour since we wanted to get in DL to get our wristbands for the screening at the Opera House for “ A World of Tomorrows” week.
There was a queue to get the wristbands and we didn’t mind waiting or me. While DAW was in her ECV, she couldn’t get in the queue so I waited in the queue.
We got there a little late that afternoon around 2:30pm that afternoon but we were able to get wristbands of the screening that night. We got the 8pm screening which was an hour and a half for each screening starting at 5pm. That was not bad when the registration opened at noon.
After we got the wristbands, we head on back to BWPPI to get in to our room. We rested up for most of the time and we had dinner at Tony Roma’s which was a few buildings down from our hotel.
After dinner, we head on back to DL that night to see the 8pm screening at the Opera House which is Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln building. We got there around 7:30pm which was 30 minutes until the screening.
When we got there, we were give the free buttons for the theme week of “A World of Tomorrows” and they were also giving away the other three theme weeks “Main Street to Mickey Mouse”, “Live the Adventure” and Fantasy & Fun” buttons which was great to get. We also got free water and popcorn for the screening that night.
We were let in and it was exciting to see a classic screening at the Opera House. I have participated in special AP screenings in the Opera House in the past since I have become an AP back in 2009. The screening that night was a Walt Disney classic show called “The Plausible Impossible”. It was nice to see a classic show at the Opera House that night. DAW had a fun time as well.
After the screening, she went back to BWPPI while I stayed for a little bit that night in order to get some nighttime shots.
At Fowler’s Harbor near the HM, a new binnacle compass was right next to Fowler’s Inn.
I didn’t stay that late until 10pm which I drove for most of the way to SoCal that day. So I head on back and called it for that night.
The next day, we got up early to head to the park when it opened at 8am. We were only going to be at the DLR for about less than 7 hours that day since we have to leave SoCal around 3pm.
The first thing we did was get FP’s for Radiator Springs Racers which DAW must do ride when we are at the DLR. I was able to get FP’s for RSR around 10am to 11am which worked really well for the two of us.
Next to the RSR FP’s exit was the exclusive sneak peek of Zootopia. I wanted to see the clip but we had some other things to do that morning so we skipped seeing the preview.
We head on over to DL that morning since our FP’s were not ready. Some of the Valentine’s Day decoration at Main Street Town Square which the heart shapes.
During the trip, I was planning on taking pictures of the flowers for my challenge during this short trip.
Flowers at Main Street Hub
After taking some pics from MS Hub, we head on over towards Adventureland and went to ride Pirates of the Caribbean. This is another of DAW favorite rides to go on at DL. I didn’t take any pictures during the ride experience.
