DisneyLand Honeymoon: The Final Day

Even though we slept really late (packed suitcases and cleaned the night before), I ended up waking super early because today was gonna be my last day here and I didn't want to miss ANYTHING! Plan of action for the day: Going into Tomorrowland, see Anna and Elsa, and eating at the Blue Bayou.

Final Part of the Disneyland blog. like the other blog posts.. I'm inserting lyrics in from Disney songs.

***DISCLAIMER: I know the Disney characters are just actually people in costume ok? Just suspend your disbelief and allow the 8 year old in yourself to believe they're real ***


One MickeyMouse phone call, and an outfit change later, we were out the door.

We skipped breakfast (on purpose this time) and dashed all the way into Fantasyland  to wait in line for Anna and Elsa. the approximate wait time (even though we got in right when the doors opened for early admission at 7) was two hours from where we were standing. Better than the average 4 hours at least. Never in my life have i learned the true meaning of "good things come to those who wait" until this moment. We moved up the line pretty fast and we got in at an hour 45 minutes because people stepped out of the line due to being impatient.
Anna and Elsa were IN THE HOUSE!!! (i mean literally inside a Dutch House with Olaf on the roof) Anna looked like she stepped out of the film!! Elsa... looked way too young to be Elsa and looked nothing like her at all :| but as soon as she opened her mouth to talk she was ALL ELSA. Both of them congratulated us on our marriage and we had a decent conversation with them. Here's how it went down:

Elsa: Are you on your honeymoon?? How long have you two known each other?? -- Now don't tell me it was for one day, Anna tried to do that within a day of knowing someone!
Me: About 9 years we've known each other, but we've been dating for 8.
Elsa and Anna: whoaaa!!
Anna: That's a reeeally long time!
Elsa: So you two must know a lot about love, you must be love experts then! Can you give Anna some advice?
Anna: Yeah I'm not sure how love really works ^_^'

Steven and i look at each other and we both agreed on...
Me: Compromise.
Steven: Yep.
Me: Loads of them.
Elsa: ooo compromises, that's a good one.
Anna: Compromises? oh ok, so, let's say for example, Kristoff wants carrots for lunch, but i want sandwiches (COMMENTARY: LOL! ).. could we have both carrots... AND sandwiches?
'Genius' me goes: or.. CARROT SANDWICHES!
Elsa and Anna Gasp: CARROT SANDWICHES??
Anna: That's such a great idea! You're so smart!
Elsa: See that's why SHE'S married!

EEEE :D Picture time, and they put me and Anna together so i go:
Me: let's put the gingers together :D
Anna: we're twins! :D
At the end we all hugged it out and continued talking..
Anna: how long are you in Disneyland for?
Me: Today's our last day :(
Elsa and Anna: GASP! really??
Steven: Yep our flight's tomorrow afternoon.
Anna: Well we hope you enjoy the rest of your stay here then!
Elsa: Have fun!!!

Hugged it out some more, and we left the house. We took a horse and cart back to the Disneyland Hotel to eat breakfast because we still had time before the events at Tomorrowland actually start (they don't open until 10 or 11am)
Went to Tangora Terrace for Breakfast which was just located in the back, literally ten steps away, outside our hotel in front of the Hotel Pool. It was a Hawaiian themed restaurant and was very peaceful. For that restaurant, you place your own order on a screen and they make it for you. you pay for the meal at the register, you pick your own table, and then they bring the meal out to you. I ordered Eggs, bacon, a side of fruit, and 3 Mickey mouse waffles. It tastes normal but because they were shaped like Mickey was, it was magical :D (i know, the logic right?)... they were pretty tiny waffles though...

After breakfast we headed down to the monorail because our destination was Tomorrowland, and the monorail is the short cut in. we get into TomorrowLand, and we see.. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY SNEAK PREVIEW. IN 3D. We went in for steven. It was REALLY COOL. i mean Literally cool. cool and in super COLD. they blasted the air conditioning so it was freezing, and the water and wind BLEW IN OUR FACES just to make us feel like we were in the movie! and our chairs moved.
Loads of Action and Comedy. Steven was so convinced that it'd be awesome that he wants to see the movie. though i doubt wind and rain will slap him in the face, and i don't think colossus seats will move :P
Afterwards we went on star tours again because supposedly there was 50 different combinations. Line up was faster this time because we were there earlier than everyone else. We did indeed have a different version of the ride and i wasn't as nauseous... i just got super nervous because ships were attacking us and we were flying into asteroids!!

Next stop was innoventions building to become ironman, meet thor, and meet captain america. Becoming Ironman was basically just using the Kinect.
When we went to meet thor we walked into a museum like place with a ton of "asgard artifacts".. except when we got in Odin lighted the room in a circle and we immediately "travelled" to asgard.. a door opens and we see THOR IN ODIN'S THRONE ROOM. and his long flowing hair. After his welcome speech, he showed us his hammer and asked if anyone wanted to try lifting it. he put the hammer next to him  and he asked a child to try lifting it. he couldn't do it (i assume there's a very strong magnet attached because the hammer did not budge). But Thor picked it up with ease and said "only i can wield it." When we got to meet him, here's how our convo went:

Thor: Hello, and how are you today?
Me: I'm great thankyou, how are you?
Thor: Not too bad myself! (cue his macho smile)
Me: I love your hair it's so long and flowy..
Thor: Why thank you! Your hair very pretty too! *cue Andrea being all shy and stuff and touching her hair :P* *Thor looks over to Steven wearing his mickeymouse hat and says.*... i'm sure your hair is fine too.
*People in line start laughing*
Thor: What do you think of Asgard?
Me: well... it's very gold o-o (derp. clearly, i didn't have anything smart to say)
Thor Laughs and says: well that's a very fair description of it.
He then signed my autograph book and drew a hammer on it.
Thor: I apologize but i don't have the greatest art skills.
Me: aww it's a hammer :D you drew a hammer!!
Thor then congratulates us on our marriage and we got to hold his hammer with him for a photo.

We left Asgard and we appeared in a video game area with a lot of XBOXES. O-O and Disney Infinity games. there was an area next to it called Projects of Tomorrow. there we assembled a human body within 4 minutes. then we went to see captain america. and he was very polite and we got to have a long convo with him too...

CAP.AM: Hello what's your names? *extends hands for a handshake*
Me: I'm andrea
Steven: I'm steven
Cap: very nice to meet you. now i just noticed your pins... does that mean what i think it means?"
Me and steven: Yes! *me with a cheeky smile*
Cap: well congratulations! where did you get married?
Me: In canada
Cap: You got married in Canada??
Steven: Well we're from there, so we were married there.
Cap: Oh you're Canadians?
Me: Yes, we came down here to visit our neighbour!
Cap: You must be preeetty huge fans for you to come all the way out here! is that autograph book for me?
Me: yes! *i give the book for him to sign*
Cap: have you seen any princesses yet?
Me: we have!
Cap: who's this princess on the cover?
Me: That's Princess Ariel, we've met her twice, she's so cute. Have you met her before?
Cap: No.. why is she single?
Me: Oh.. Nope.
Cap: Oh haha well i figured since everyone's been trying to set me up with somebody, i just thought... ^_^'
Me: well she does have 6 other sisters who are single... if you're looking.
Cap: ah.. well we'll see!

Then we strike an avengers pose for the camera. he tells me to hold my hands in a fist like black widow, and Steven to hold out his hand like iron man. except Steven wasn't doing it properly

Cap: a little more like this. stick it out more
Me: Steven, like you're doing TAI CHI
*Steven actually does it right*
Cap: haha that's true! Tai chi! well that's one way to do it! AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!! *CAMERA CLICK*

then we shook hands and i high fived him...

Cap: i thought only kids gave high fives!
Me: I still do it :P

We finished and left the pavilion for lunch and went to Tomorrowland terrace. The sun was beating down on everyone and another person actually fainted. and it was another one of the hottest days ever.

*Guys.. remember how i said reality would soon hit me in the face? well THIS fucking happened...*

It was super hot outside but we needed seats to eat and the shaded seats were all taken. i find this one table with two Chinese ladies sitting and they looked like they finished their meal and they're just sitting there. so i go "ok it's Disneyland, it's hot out, maybe they'll be nice and accommodating, and let us sit here. i'll make the effort to be polite and go up and ask them if they still need the seats. Disneyland people are like super friendly, what are the chances they'll be rude?"

Me: hello :D excuse me?
*Both Chinese ladies are staring at me like 'who the fuck are you?'*
me: Hi! ^_^' are you still eating?
chink lady 1: NO. (commentary: well that was fucking RUDE)
Me: oh ok, do you know how long you're gonna say here for?
chink lady 2: *inaudible Mandarin Chinese but she's yelling at me... aaaand i manage to make out the word BITCH*
chink lady 1: *even more Chinese and she's just looking at her phone*

and then they both ignore me!! like wtf?? well that's the last time i try to be nice to Chinese people :\ seriously why the fuck u even in america if u can't speak English? if you're not gonna learn English maybe y'all should learn some MANNERS then, OR move back to fucking mainland china ok??
i don't mean to be racist to my own race but WTF. they just managed to ruin a perfectly magical trip. it really felt like i WASN'T in the happiest place on the planet any more.

So I'm pissed off out of my mind and I'm sweating and getting sunburnt... then i find another seat and these Latino people are sitting but look like they're about to leave, so i go:

Me: excuse me, are you just leaving?
them: yes, yes, sit, sit! very hot today!
me: oh ok!! thank you so much!

Basic meal that we had... hamburger and fries.
A bitch fit about fobby Chinese people after, we ate we left Tomorrowland and headed to fantasy theatre..

When along the way we met MARY POPPINS and her band! My happiness magically came back and i began singing with the band, it's a jolly holiday, spercaligrafilisticexpialidocious, step in time... and mary was teaching the kids how to dance.
we finally made it to the theatre and saw.. MERIDA! she looked so cute! when we reach the theatre, the workers asked if we wanted to play ring toss. so throw it in and it didnt make it in... steven joined in and we both threw our rings at the same time... THEY BOTH LANDED PERFECTLY and everyone yelled IT'S TRUE LOVE!!! They gave us a card that said true love and autographed in the back was ariel and.... PRINCE ERIC???? :DDDDDDDDDDD EEEEEEK! we also got bonus readmission tickets to pirates of the caribbean and alice in wonderland ride.

We quickly ran over to the alice ride before the show at the theatre started, but along the way we went acropps snow white's cute little bridge thats by a tiny waterfall with a snow white statue, and all of the dwarves! and when we made it across the bridge... i saw... SNOW WHITE'S WISHING WELL!!!

i threw a few pennies in and when i started singing "I'm wishing"... SNOW WHITE'S VOICE ACTUALLY ECHOED UP BACK AT MEEEEEE!!! and then I heard the whole song!!!

"I'm wishing (I'm wishing)For the one I loveTo find me (to find me)Today (today)I'm hoping (I'm hoping)And I'm dreaming of The nice things (the nice things) He'll say  

Ah ah ah ah ahh (Ah ah ah ah ahh) 

Ah ah ah ah ahh (Ah ah ah ah ahh)   

Ah ah ah ah ahh (Ah ah ah ah ahh) "

When we finished, we finally made it into Alice and we skipped the huge ass line up. ride was cute... but also very scary.. it was like the first kingdom hearts level where everything was in a cardboard box and we had to do all these twists and turns... Once we finished we went back to the fantasy theatre to watch Beauty and the Beast. Parodied. so it was super cute but also super funny! guy pretending to be"Gaston" and second guy pretending to be "beast" did rock paper scissors when they were fighting, and threw pies at each other.
pretend Gaston: oops..
pretend beast: see i told you not to bring pies on the stage now they're gonna kick us out! we ruined the stage!
they both start arguing when Belle goes "guys, that's now how i remember the fight..."
pretend Gaston and pretend beast: ...he started it.


After that we went back to the hotel to hide from the sun. we pretty much finished everything we wanted to do there... by the end of it my skin was super splotchy.. and i was really itchy. supposedly Disneyland has items known to the state of California to cause cancer. OH WELL YOLO. we bought a blanket for the house and for the flight home because it was going to be cold at the airport, especially since we were gonna fly back into Toronto at night. we ordered a breakfast in bed for the next morning because we leave the next day at noon. after a good one hour rest and a nice long shower, we headed back to the park.

Dinner that night was at the blue bayou located in New Orleans square and inside the pirates of the Caribbean ride, super dark and cosy and utterly romantic inside. not to mention away from the sunlight. we saw riders ride by on the boats while we ate our meal under the fake stars and fake lanterns. service was exceptional. the hot asked us if we had any food allergies. i said i was lactose intolerant, so the server AND the chef came out and provided alternative suggestions for the meal i wanted (surf and turf) which comes with a started house salad. it was a basic salad but WTF IT WAS AMAZINGLY GOOD O-O balsamic vinegar was yummy.. and i think they included cranberries in my salad. of course the actual meal was just as great. i had a lobster with filet Mignon on a bed of rice.
then we used the re-admission ticket for the pirates ride. we were the first in line at the front so we got to see everything with no obstructions. after that we slowly made our way back to main street to wait for the fireworks.
Steven decided to get clarabelle's ice cream. they gave too much. 'MURRRICA!

During the time we waited for the fireworks, 7:30 to 9pm, i thought back on the whole trip and took everything in. we finished seeing and doing everything in the span of one week, and even got to go to areas a second time! then i got really depressed because once the fireworks end the honeymoon would be over.

*Guys.. remember how i said reality would soon hit me in the face? well this SECOND incident fucking happened...*

A lady pushed her stroller onto my foot AND she stepped on my hand. after that this happened.

Lady: Sorry.

Me: it's ok.

Lady:.. i said i'm sorry!

Me and her husband: it's ok!

Lady:.. i said i was sorry!!

her husband: ok relax! it was an accident she said it was ok come off it!

like really? right when i was reminiscing the entire Disneyland trip, ya gotta fucking ruin the moment for me?

Then... the announcer came on and said fireworks may be postponed until the next day due to weather conditions. WHAT???

I WON'T GET TO SEE THE FIREWORKS? the reason was because it's cloudy. i thought loudly "back in canada even if it was cloudy we'd still get fireworks." nevertheless i was stubborn and i stayed in one spot and didnt leave. i was determined to see the fireworks. but then magically.. THE FIREWORKS STARTED!!

Now i thought that if i've seen it twice before i'd know what to expect and i won't cry. so i braced myself and said "ok i'm ready"... at least i thought i was ready...

suddenly the castle began to sparkle and glimmer (which never seemed to happen during the first two shows i saw) the single star flew over the castle... and then...

TINKERBELL FLEW OVER THE CASTLE!!! A REAL MOVING TINKERBELL PERSON WAS FLYING OVER THE CASTLE!! OH MY GOD! SHE NEVER APPEARED THE OTHER TWO TIMES???? i broke down crying. now because this was such a big surprise and because it was the last day i got really emotional. so emotional that people could hear me cry. and then one moment after i hear Timothy mouse go "DUMBO YOU DON'T NEED A MAGIC FEATHER! YOU CAN FLY!" AND THEN DUMBO FLEW OVER THE CASTLE! LIKE A REAL MOVING DUMBO!!! And... guess what? yep. i cried even more loudly and i swear my tears were all over my hand. Steven was holding me the entire time while i heard the lady singing:

Baby mine, don't you cry.Baby mine, dry your eyes.

*Commentary: Ok guys, typing up this last part is really difficult for me cuz i'm crying just remembering the little details of the last moments in Disneyland. My poor keyboard...*

For the finale, Tinkerbell appeared AGAIN flying over the castle one last time, and with a flick of her wand, the last fireworks shot up in a frenzy. At that point my face was red and splotchy. As if Disney couldn't be more magical than it already was, Disney decided to end my honeymoon with a big magical BANG. The fireworks was over and I cried on our way back to the hotel. After this it will be back to reality. Away from the land of happiness. (Whoever said money can't buy happiness: they LIED.)

*then incident NUMBER THREE fucking happened...*

Ironically enough, Reality came to slap us in the face AGAIN. some random crazy ass tourist snuck up behind us and screamed in our ear. JUST to scare the shit out of us. Now i really WAS dreading coming back to reality.
Before going to bed, I turned on the musical headboard just to hear the music and see it light up one last time...

"No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true."

I cried Big Tears to myself because I didn't want to leave. I wanted to stay here forever.
So that night, Steven promised that one day we'd come back. We're making it a life mission to travel to every single Disneyland there is and do every single Disney Resort Trip.
