San Diego, CA Disneyland Star Wars Fan Day #2 - June 25, 2006

Done!

 

Thanks Edgar!

 

ok, the park calendar is all set for June:

Special Theme Park Hours June 24, 2006
Due to a private event on Saturday, June 24, 2006, Disneyland® Park will be opening at 6:30 a.m. and closing at 5:00 p.m. Disney's California Adventure® Park will extend its hours that day and will be open from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m.

Fantasmic!, Columbia, and Tom Sawyer's Island will be down until June 30th due to the Pirates stuff and the bleechers they're setting up.

Officially, Pirates is not listed as being open until the 26th.

 

That's why our group is staying that extra day! LOL

 

Yea, I just got a room for myself at the Howard Johnson since they give an AP discount.

I'll be FIRST in line to get in Sunday!

 

LOL, NOPE!!! But we will save you a place in line BEHIND us (we are going to be FIRST!!!)

 

I tried to make reservations for Blue Bayou, but they said they are only doing a soft opening (walk -ins only) for the first week
Oh, and shirts are for sale on the site

 

Do the shirts some in children sizes like last time? I would need a 3T and a 6 boys. All I saw listed was adult sizes.

 

I'll be waving at you both from inside California Adventure as I'm staying at the Grand Californian and using the private entrance directly into C.A. (I think it's an hour before normal park entrance times).

 

Hmmm how can we solve this dilema? I know... THANK YOU, EDGAR for inviting us ALL to stay with you at the GCH!!!!!!

 

No, we'll be laughing at you because you'll be inside California Adventure!

 

ZING!!!! 25 points, ManaByte!!!

 

DING DING!!!!! Warning, hitting below the belt!!!! That was funny. Can't wait to go......

 

There's a RUMOR that they will start soft openings of Pirates the week of June 11th!

 

<--- Cinematic n00b. Don't understand "soft opening"...

 

Basicly.... Soft opening of the ride. Means it's not open all day to full crowds but they run handfuls of people through it.
I don't know what the "official" rules are but esentially that's it.
Hum....perhaps we'll do a run up to see if it's true.

 

One of my small claims to fame... Disney-Wise..my ex-husband and I, and a couple of our friends were pulled aside to be the very first guests on the ORIGINAL soft-opening of Space Mountain! So,I got to ride in the first car on the first run with actual guests! So, go hang around outside PoTC...ya never know!

(Other claim..first official Divorce in the Magic Kingdom) He absolutely HATED Disneyland..see one of the many reasons that he is an "EX" )

 

Interesting, my ex hated both Star Wars and Disneyland. He walked out on the first star wars movie in 1977 cause he thought it was garbage, and he hated Disneyland even when he was a kid.

 

I could never be in a relationship with someone who hated both of those things!

 

My Ex also hated..make that DETESTED SW...from day one. The only thing he liked about Disneyland is that he would make a huge deal out of being a cop and wearing his "piece" and "backup" into the park. It was sooo embarassing.

So now..any relationship must meet the following criteria... He MUST love SW, Disneyland and NOT be a cop! LOL (oh yeah.. hair past shoulders... peferably mid-back is a HUGE plus) LOL

 

I do not like to hear stuff like that
I think its kind of rude in a way cause I mean whatever it is you should at least show some interest in what your other half likes even if you hate it, I mean like disneyland I love it there and would not get enough of the place but I mean if I hated the place yet my other half did I would still show interest and not just walk around moaning that I do not like it cause afterall thats what children do when you drag them round supermarkets.
take note
If that was me kim I would turn round to him and say "act your age not your shoe size"

 

For all the things that Jon and I have in common, there are still things that we don't. We simply accept them and do what we can to allow the other to enjoy them. He watches his grossest horror movies without me for instance and he's allowed to buy all the Clive Barker he wants but I get final say as to what I can take looking at on a day to day basis Actually..I kinda like some of Clive Barker's stuff, it's just some of it is too much to look at everyday.

I was engaged to someone who, honestly, I have no idea what we had in common. So I can see how it can happen. Thankfully Jon came along before anything got too far with the other guy.

We went to Disney yesterday and saw all the merchandise they have out for Pirates. MAN!! I could have gone broke! Although some of it was the usual kinda chincy stuff. I did buy the Mickey Mouse as Jack Sparrow though. The shop we were in only had him and not the others. We saw them in another store later on but by that point I had bought the Lego Sandcrawler set and couldn't spend any more money. Next time

 

You bought the lego sandcrawler?? Cool I suppose that will be a interesting build.

 

Well, I thought my ex and I had a lot in common..until after we were married and i discovered that he was a "Multiple". So while I miss and will always love the personality I married.. the others were..."shudder" ...not so fun.

But back to the thread at hand. I WANT MORE PoTC STUFF!!!!!!!! LOL

 

Yup, I bought it
There is a Lego store in Downtown Disney and they offer a discount to pass holders so it was a little less expensive..OK, not much as it's only a 10% discount, but still...
I have no idea where I'm going to be able to set this up to build though. It may sit around for a while before I get to do it. We almost bought the Star Destroyer as well but decided not to at that point.
Next time we go back I have to buy the Mickey ears I forgot to buy. They have a pair wearing a pirate headband and one of the ears is pierced. They're so cool! I wanted to go to one of the places that can put your name on it, but somehow we forgot
