Our pre-purchased online tickets allowed us quick entrance into the park, and within 10 minutes Josie and I were screaming on Sapce Mountain. That was followed up with a severe Josie-ass-kicking on Buzz Lightyear's space shootout ride. To distract her from the pain we took in the mandatory Disneyland indoctrination of it's a small world and sang it for the rest of the day.
We had a fairly delicious Mexican lunch before checking out the haunted house, then made our way to the Disney Studios park for some serious thrills. In total, we rode Steven Tyler's Rocking Rollercoaster three times and the Tower of Terror twice. The Nemo rollercoaster was fun and unique and we skipped a large part of the queue by going in the single riders line. Armageddon and Rattatouille provided us with incredible immersive experiences; first, our space station was getting pounded by asteroids and falling apart, then we were rats in a French kitchen.
Josie went on a food parade and I dutifully followed. We finally settled on sausages on buns, but, for the second time in two days, they ran out before we reached the window. This immediately hijacked my amygdala so I shot the impossibly happy Disneyland clerk my Canadian death glare and stomped off in search of the shitty "margarita pizza" we spotted earlier.
Our best calculation is that we hit 20 rides in total today. We never waited more than 40 minutes for anything and typically we waited about 20. I consider that a huge success. As the sun went down, I had a deja vu moment: I got cold. So, for the second time while at a Disneyland resort, I had to buy a sweater. Josie pretended to be cold so she could buy one too.
Warm, we enjoyed the evening show at the magical castle and were impressed by the combination of fountains, lights, lasers, fireworks, projections, and music. We headed home tired, fulfilled, and with slight touches of headaches from our final Space Mountain ride.
