Is it the weekend yet?

[mrv3000]

It's getting towards fall, and so I'm getting the urge to go to Disneyland again. Summertime is pretty much off-limits for me. Heat + crowds = hell on earth. The only time I've broken down and gone during the summer was on the day of its 50th birthday.

I'm kinda craving a giant corn dog again. The kind you get at DCA. The kind as big as poohmusings' head. Also, haven't been on the new Finding Nemo ride yet.

Wonder if they've got a new plastic coffee mug design going now. I have a tendency to pick one of those up when I leave the park - coffee for the ride home. But the latest "[something] of Dreams" was a lame design. Hopefully they'll switch out for Halloween/fall.

Can't wait to see the pumpkin decorations again. I think I like those decorations better than the Christmas decorations (which were starting to look a bit sad last year, and need to be replaced.) Wonder if the pumpkins will appear after Labor Day. Well, as soon as it cools down a bit, I might need to go investigate.

You know, one of these days I should really try Blue Bayou (the restaurant in the PotC ride.) I always wind up at the Wine Country Trattoria in DCA though, which poohmusings, nandamai and I discovered a few years back. (During the trip of the infamous diavestra & son shakedown of elismor of $20.) I really like the food they have there (plus wine with the meal), but I suppose I should do Blue Bayou once, just to say I've done it.







And I don't wish to alarm anyone, especially goldy_dollar, but...

RTD says DT's staying for all of S4

Well, we all know what THAT means, right? OMG HE'LL BE GONE BY EP 3!!!! *FLAILS*

I also heard a rumor that RTD might possibly be backpedaling on the Jack = Face of Boe thing, but haven't seen an actual source on that. Don't be Jossing mah fic, you plot-hole loving nutter!

Heh. You know, you really can't call what RTD does "Jossing," as it's in a class all its own. It's RTDing.

RTD: *does something cracktastic in canon*

Me: o_O

RTD: *contradicts himself five times and lies twice in an interview, possibly negating cracktasticness*

Me: O_O

RTD: *throws more kittens on DT to cover up new plot hole even crackier than what's come before*

Me: Okay, that's cute, but I'm still questioning...

RTD: *throws in Rose reference*

Me: \o/

I'm so easy.

Why do I have the feeling you just summed up the whole of S4 already?

Mwah.

[flails a little too] And that's the thing--DT may be staying, yes. But will he be playing the Doctor during all of s4? With RTD's cracktasticness, who knows?

I'm still shaking my head on that one. Perhaps it'll just get written off as a joke?

Well, getting Jossed isn't something that reflects on any special ability of Joss's. It just meant that the story took a turn that made your fic AU, like really AU. But RTD, it's like he has some special kind of keyboard that turns whatever he writes into utter crack. He really is in a league of his own, as you said.

It could be. Probably RTD finally *looked* at a picture of Boe and realized that he had tentacles and such and so perhaps maybe it didn't make as much sense as he once thought... :D

Right right. Not only does your fic become AU, there's a giant ball of WEIRD that comes with it. :D

WHAT. WHY DO YOU ALL KEEP SAYING THINGS LIKE THIS.

Between you and [Bad username or site: principia_coh / @ livejournal.com] going on about Master!Tennant, I'm slowly getting closer to that nervous breakdown.

The Blue Bayou was actually pretty good. The spaghetti was amazing. Mom, Sister and I went last time we were in Disneyland (sadly enough, 1996). I remember that up until Mom told us we were eating there, I had always thought that it was a bunch of animatronic robots and not a real restaurant. Hey, I'd been there only once before when I was 4/5. GIVE ME A BREAK.

Sadly, looks like that's not on the menu anymore.

RTD: DT is going to be there for all of S4! *drops ambiguous hint about 2008 Christmas special* *winks and slides off, cackling and rubbing hands together*
All of Doctor Who fandom: Well. Fuck.

Heh. You know, you really can't call what RTD does "Jossing," as it's in a class all its own. It's RTDing.

HA! I think we should adopt that as our new catch-word: "This fic is on so much crack, it's RTDing. Whoa."

That's *exactly* it.

If RTD's actually telling the truth (fool me 11 times, shame on you; fool me 12 or more times, shame on me) about DT staying through S4, I smell TCI-type "introduce the new Doctor" Christmas ep.

HA! I think we should adopt that as our new catch-word: "This fic is on so much crack, it's RTDing. Whoa."

And it *totally* would catch on. :D

Or, y’know, “This fic is on so much crack, it’s practically canon.” <g>

I, too, am anxiously awaiting the cooler weather in order to plan a Dland jaunt. And now that you mention it, a corndog sounds really good. Like now. Now, actually, would be a good day to go to Dland as it's not too hot....pity we're both stuck at work.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

It *would* be a great day for Disneyland and a corn dog. Hmm. Don't think I can get a corn dog anywhere.

[burtonworshiper.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. I vote RTD retracts his statement immediatley.

*flails a bit*

That's not cool dammit. Not. Cool.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yeah. DT's almost certain to leave mid-S4 now, isn't he?

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

But I love the Face of Boe thing! It totally broke my brain the first time I watched it (I watched the finale arc straight when I got home from Jordan, so by the end I was all "OVERLOAD *criz*").

Fortunately, I don't really care one way or another about this show (it's just too damn tiring!), so it's all good.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

The Face of Boe thing actually makes my head hurt if I think about it too much. And I think you're right about actually *caring* about this show being exhausting.

[poohmusings.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh. We should start planning our October adventures! Depending on whether you can take the time off work and where my work conference is going to be, I might be able to spend more than a weekend with you! Shall email with much squee. :)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

YES! More days?? YAAAAAAY! And OMG, if we do the hotel thing again, that means we only have TWO MONTHS TO PLAN!! *FLAILS*

[asgaja.livejournal.com]

I love the way you express yourself!

Though seriously I'm having a bit of the same feeling that misssara11 had and I'm not sure just WHAT to make of it.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

*snickers*

You know, I think everything would be so much better if RTD just stopped doing interviews.

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

Well, we all know what THAT means, right? OMG HE'LL BE GONE BY EP 3!!!! *FLAILS*

ACK! *hides* I seriously need to find something to obsess over other than DW. Because this is not good for my mental health at all.

I still can't find a reference to what RTD said about Boe. It's supposedly in the Doctor Who Magazine, so you'd think there'd be more than just one vague reference to it on my flist. *grumps*

RTD: *throws in Rose reference*

Me: \o/

Yup. We are both terribly easy. *snerk*

I've got nothing.

Pffft.

I'm still cracking up about it if it's true.

Yup. We are both terribly easy. *snerk*

Plot holes? What plot holes? There was a Rose reference! HOORAY!

[nostariel]

The most consistant rumor I've heard is that DT is leaving mid-season 4; that one's been around since last year, I think, so it's the one I'm trying to prepare for. Still, I thought I'd hate DT after CE left (ok, I did hate him initially) and now I love him. I'm just getting sick of cast changes. It's too much like watching a damn soap opera; if I wanted to see different actors playing the same character and people coming back from the dead, I'd turn on SoapNet, for christssake.

Umm...not that I'm a bitter, bitter fangirl...or anything.

/o\

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm *REALLY* not wild about the constant rotation of cast on this show. Yeah, yeah, nature of the show - it's all still a bit much.

[jennsthedevil.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love Disneyland, I go whenever I can, but NEVER during the summer. *shudders* And the Blue Bayou is pretty good, or at least it was the last time I went -- the prime rib was excellent. It's a little pricey, but IMO worth it for the atmosphere.

I also heard a rumor that RTD might possibly be backpedaling on the Jack = Face of Boe thing, but haven't seen an actual source on that. Don't be Jossing mah fic, you plot-hole loving nutter!

I don't know what you are referring to. Jack is NOT The Face of Boe, it never happened, there was no mention of it on the show, it was simply a mass hallucination brought on by the appearance of Tinkerbell Doctor. If I refuse to accept it, it never happened.

*sits in corner muttering incoherently*

I'm thinking the atmosphere would be the big thing, but good to know the food is good too. (Should be for the prices.) Mmmm. Prime rib.

Is November a good time to go to Disneyland?

Cause I'm going to be there mid November and I'm going to LA soley to go to Disneyland and I hope it will be good!

Any hints, tips or good advice you could throw my way (if you want to that is)?


and hey! If RTD backpedals enough, he might even backpaedal right back to Nine! \o/

That's actually a *fantastic* time of year to go to Disneyland. Mid-November and the Christmas decorations should be up, which are neat. Small World is changed over to Christmas songs, and is actually ridable. And the Haunted Mansion is also changed over to the Nightmare Before Christmas, which I really like.

You can check out their calendar for hours and to see which rides are closed for refurbishment.

http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyland/en_US/calendar/monthly/monthly?name=CalendarMonthlyPage

WARNING: Don't know what dates mid-November means, but I would avoid the park altogether over the Thanksgiving period, which is November 22 - 25. I might even avoid it that whole week of the 19th - not entirely sure. Any kind of holiday and the park is PACKED.

If they have the "Remember...Dreams Come True Fireworks Show" going on, SEE IT. You might have to camp out on Main Street an hour before it starts, but it is completely worth it. Best fireworks show I've ever seen in my life. I'm still waiting for them to have a DVD of it - it's that good! *flails*

I think my best advice is to get there a little before the park opens - they usually let people into Main Street before actually "opening." If you need one, grab a locker first thing. You can use it all day - in and out as much as you want - and they go quick. Your best lines are going to be first thing, so hit the big rides first.

OH! And if you don't mind riding alone, you can save a *lot* of time on a few rides, like Splash Mountain. You go up to the person manning the line, ask for a "single rider," they give you a piece of paper and you go into the exit. The next available open space is yours. (I think the logs have 5 seats, and there are a lot of even-numbered groups - so it doesn't take long.) When poohmusings and I go, we'll often do Single Rider for that or Indiana Jones and so on. We never sit together, but we don't care.

Um...I could probably throw out Disneyland advice all day. :D

I actually became quite a bit nervous when I first hear about this. We know RTD's track record with giving us information. *sniffles*

I wouldn't mind having that Jack = Face of Boe retracted though... I mean it was hilarious the first time I heard Jack say that but after actually thinking it through it was just O_o

I might be going to Disneyland in October! I've only ever been there once before. I think they've changed a lot since then. Sort of funny, we did go to the Blue Bayou that time, and I can't remember the food (and it looks like they changed the menu since then in any case), but the setting is gorgeous.

I'm kinda craving a giant corn dog again.

Haha...my county fair just ended. I ate way too many corn dogs. (And not enough funnel cake).

You know, you really can't call what RTD does "Jossing," as it's in a class all its own. It's RTDing.

Somehow, what RTD does is way more stressful than what Joss does. But I can't decide which of the two take more pleasure in messing with the fans (though I'd say RTD, just because so many Who-fans get pissy with him, while Joss can Do No Wrong).

Not sure when you went, but it's always changing here and there. But the Blue Bayou - I would like to do that sometime. Seems really neat.

You're probably right. I mean, I could *actually* picture him sitting there and saying, "Jack's gonna be the Face of Boe! YES! That should *really* piss people off! Mwahahahaha!" :D

(The problem is that Who fans are way too easily messed with.)

Now I'm missing Disneyland too! Though last time I went was for a wedding where I FINALLY got to get into Club 33...so I guess that's gonna have to tide me over for awhile.
But this is the longest I've gone without a pass/working there since I was 16 (now 28) and it's incredibly odd. I'm with you on the no-go in the summer though. The 50th was the last time I went in the summer as well. And we still only made it to like 12. As for the Blue Bayou...a year or so ago I woulda said save your money 'cause it was so not worth it. But apparently they've completely changed their menu and now they're actually pretty good. More expensive, but at least the foods supposed to be good. Never been to the Trattoria even though my aunt apparently works there now.

DT staying for the whole series better be true or I'll be flying over to visit my in laws for the sole purpose of hunting down RTD and murdering him. It'd be one lie too many for me.

I've never been to Club 33 - don't expect I ever will - but I've seen pictures. Was it neat?

But this is the longest I've gone without a pass/working there since I was 16 (now 28) and it's incredibly odd.

Ohhh, you worked there? Got any good stories? :D

I'm with you on the no-go in the summer though. The 50th was the last time I went in the summer as well. And we still only made it to like 12.

I think I was out of Disneyland by 11 - couldn't take the crowds anymore. Hung out over at DCA the rest of the day.

As for the Blue Bayou...a year or so ago I woulda said save your money 'cause it was so not worth it. But apparently they've completely changed their menu and now they're actually pretty good. More expensive, but at least the foods supposed to be good.

It does look like a pretty good menu.

Never been to the Trattoria even though my aunt apparently works there now.

Oh, cool! I really do like it. Well, I like eating over at DCA anyway - much more mellow. The menu's not that huge, but it's good food, and it's a pretty restaurant with a really nice patio.

DT staying for the whole series better be true or I'll be flying over to visit my in laws for the sole purpose of hunting down RTD and murdering him. It'd be one lie too many for me.
