Happy Daddy’s Day!
90 degrees equals no baking today, getting ready to head out & hope between Sams & WM they have something decent to call dessert. All i need to do is then slice down turkeys, easy peasy to pull it out for sammies when kids stop by today.
Hot yet gloomy here. But the entire 24 hours of LeMans is televised. Three hours in now.
Not a racing fan, DH is a channel surfer, we wind up watching the Indy races/NASCAR off & on, then in for the end...same as BB games.
First time I caught a glimpse of LeMans, had weird feeling of dejavu...that tunnel, marina & the city, almost like I had been there. Dawned on me I ‘raced’ it many times on a video game. Next best thing to being there lol
About to finish packing up and load up car for trek home. Made it to DS to do the Aerophile balloon, couldn’t decide on lunch but ended up at Kona Cafe at the Poly. Love their food. Ready to be home. Will probably stop somewhere tonight, although last time dh and I took turns napping and we could have driven straight through. Will see how we do.
DD got to ride slinky dog coaster ((Toy story land) Thursday as part of the “pep rally “ all DHS cm’s get, and she’s going again today (signed up before she knew what Thursday was about). She’s taking a friend from previous program who’s doing a PI and didn’t get an invite to ride. Plus apparently they are gifting the DHS cms a “preview day” June 21 where they can bring 2 guests to the land with park admission included!! Think they are trying to drum up enthusiasm?? This is in addition to the extra park tickets to use for month of June. She’s not terribly impressed with the land nor the planning of it- one QS with only about seating for 100, plus she said there is no shade anywhere.
Schumi- never been to HHN! Need to get flights sorted soon, have lots of choices for accommodations in the area resorts ($200 for a 2bed condo for a week)- if this trip happens will need to be in the cheaper side.
Ready to be home!
Never got around to the balloon. DTD is such a time burner, even for dinner when the parks are calling lol. On longer trips or when staying in that immediate area, it’s so nice to take boat over or walk across the street. It’s just the whole messy parking process that irritates me.
How long did the entire balloon process take? Think I still get a discount early on, had thought that’d be the way to go for me not to get frustrated with the crowds. not sure if the experienced would be better in am or pm. Any thots on that?
What did u get for lunch at kona? Haven’t been back since they tweaked the steak offering @ dinner & received my noodle dish just swarming in oil. Was thinking to give it another whirl in July, always seems to be available relatively last minute.
Re Slinky, we r staying @ BW. & have 2 sets of FP then the alien saucer on other days. Starting to think I don’t want to burn the majority of our FP entitlements nearly every day & going to switch things up. The way your DD described the attraction was exactly as I had envisioned. Figure such a small footprint, it’ll be a sardine like experience the whole first week of July there.
Did she do the alien claw ride yet? Not a fan of tea cups at all. Forced tot do the ‘mater one @ DL years ago, was not quite as fast/nauseating to me.
