Luigi Test Vehicle Out and Halloween 2015 Merchandise Creeps In At The Disneyland Resort

I open my eyes and look at my phone. I notice that it's 7:10 a.m. and roll back over.
...
7;10 a.m.!

I'm gonna be late at getting to the Disneyland Resort before it opens.

I pretty much rush at getting ready this morning and make it to the Resort with 5 minutes to spare.

After the morning welcoming spiel plays, it's a quick walk for most of these Guests to Cars Land

But I head over to Paradise Pier

I wonder how many of them can fit on the field
10? 15?

Where did I go wrong in my life?
When did I settle for this family life?
I was suppose to be a model, traveling around the world. Not to be some second rate statue behind glass.
I miss the photo shoots, the parties, the drugs, the money,
I used to be fun
But now look at me. Just look at me
I am this woman, stuck behind some stupid piece of glass, wearing a headband with a bedazzled bow on it.
I wanted people to see me in all my glory, but not like this.

  1. Great update, as always. The ride vehicles for the new Luigi's ride look really interesting. I hope the new ride is as good as, if not better than, the old flying tire ride. I could never understand why people didn't like it much, even if they're not as much fun as individual flying saucers.

    It looks like we just missed the roll-out of the Halloween merchandise during our visit last weekend. The trip would have been a little less enjoyable if the Halloween stuff was on display in the stores while it's still the height of summer. The resort's Halloween promotion doesn't start until early September, right? But I guess it wouldn't be on display if guests weren't buying it. Kind of chicken-and-egg problem.

    1. Thanks.
      I am hoping the new Luigi's Roadster is more fun than the Flying Tires.
      The Halloween merchandise isn't all "in your face" yet as it's in small sections. But I am sure that will change as the month continues on since Halloween Time starts next month.

      I know a few people who like to shop for holiday decorations/merchandise early. That way, when it's time to celebrate, they already have enough to start their decorating. That way, they can enjoy having it displayed for a lot longer than a week or two.

  2. Do new attractions in theme parks always draw crowds this big? I'd love to take a day out of the financing office to get to a theme park to find out! Haha!
