2 of my cousins ended up waiting until the last second so they had to buy park hopper tickets and that made me happy because now I had an excuse to do both parks instead of just Disneyland lol.

 

Let’s go

 

nevermind park hopper for today sold out last night so just Disneyland but hey at least hopefully I can do rise of resistance today

 

I forced my cousins to come to mr toad wild ride and it’s a 50 minute wait

irs not worth it but for me it’s personal

 

I paid the $25 to get lighting lane for rise of the resistance and I think it was one of those things where it was worth it for the first time.

I just don’t see myself every going back on it unless the wait time would be super low but that take a few new rides to get to that point.

 

Yeah it’s worth it to splurge on Lightning Lane sometimes. It’s a must for either Star Wars ride

 

I’m always lucky with the millenium falcon, somehow have only ever waited like 10 minutes for it. Never been on rise though :(

 

When we went a year and a half ago we did buy the lightning lane for radiator springs racers and rise. Both worth it IMO

 

LL for Rise is almost always worth it, especially for how often it breaks down. That way you can just show up later in the day and get on it if it's down during your call-back time or while on it

 

I just gotta say Mickey and Minnie railroad is my favorite thing that nothing can stop us now gets stuck in my head constantly

 

Agreed. It’s my favorite ride now. It’s the best thing that’s happened to Disneyland after all the Star Wars stuff

 

This is probably the longest stretch I've gone without going to Disneyland in the past decade. Haven't been since Mickey and Minnie opened, really jonesing to go, but we're going Europe next week and we're going to be paying that off for a while. I've been trying to get my job to take us to Disneyland instead of Knott's for family day this year.

 

get a much closer look at the HoloTile and he got to use an extendable lightsaber

There is also a rumor that the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit coaster is getting tore down and replaced.

 

Seems like a dumb move? Fantastic ride

 

The rumor I heard is that they're going to replace it with a coaster using the same ride system and similar layout to the F&F coaster they're building in Hollywood.

 

at the very least, rip ride rocket has needed retheming or a refresh for a while now

 

what do you mean, Paralyzer by Finger Eleven is still dominating the charts

 

please don’t speak ill of my cousin’s musical endeavors josh, thank you

 

is your cousin the 11th finger?

 

I knew someone in here had a relation to that band but couldn't remember who lmao

I like the song! it's just old now!

 

yes it’s a very serious condition

 

idk that doesn't sound that bad

 

The weird thing with Rip Ride is the geography. Big portions of it are not even technically within the park. It would have to be a new rollercoaster because it would be strange for Islands of Adventure to have so many and Universal only having the indoor one.
