Disneyland and submarine rides... in Kingdom Hearts;
Disneyland yesterday was kind of fun. It was the first time in forever that I spent most of my day with my mom, and I could tell that she was having a lot of fun. Which is good, because we're both shut-ins (when she's not at work, I mean) and needed to get out and about. But seriously, I haven't joked around with her like that since I was... 10, or something. So it was nice.
Anywhore, I have photos, as usual! Not a lot, but enough:
♥ DISNEYLAAAAAND~! ♥
Disneyland ducks, as promised for
moving. It's become tradition to take at least one photo of a duck when I go there. Funny story behind the duck, though. It goes something like this:Me: MOM.
Mom: Eh?
Me: DUCKS. I need to get a photo of a duck or some ducks before we do anything, okay?
Mom: Okay, sure!
Me: Now where are the ducks? [poking around one of the ponds]
Mom: [looking looking looking--] AH! I see one!
Me: WHERE?!
Mom: At the other side of the pond-thing!
Me: [RUNS]
Mom: [RUNS TOO]
Me: ... he's getting away!
Mom: QUICK TAKE A PHOTO.
Me: I'M TRYING-!
Pirates! Yarr. I've been talking about where exactly I want to work at if I get a job at Disneyland, and besides the costumes being horrendously hot at the Haunted Mansion, I still want to work there the most. Though the Pirate costumes aren't so bad, either. Plus I get to work inside, so.
Anyway, another funny conversation:
Me: I get to see my boyfriend~ ♥
Mom: Wait, who?
Me: Davy Jones! He's in this ride.
Mom: Ugh. I can't see why you like him so much. He's all tentacle-ish and yuck.
Me: But... his story is so sad!
Mom: [giving me a funny look]
Me: SERIOUSLY. You saw the movies! Cutting out his own heart? That's really tragic. I'd give him my love!
Mom: [thinking about it] ... [gives the :< face] ... oh. That is really sad.
Me: I TOLD YOU.
A moment later.
Me: So if Davy Jones was my real boyfriend, how would you take it?
Mom: ... I'd be racist and tell you that you're not allowed to date sea-creatures.
Me: JERK.
Mom: WELL.
Me: ... haha. I bring him over to dinner, right? And you quickly hide the seafood you made.
Mom: PFFT.
It's so, so hard to get decent shots of the inside of the ride.
I tried, but if you don't use the flash it's pretty impossible to get any photos.
Sitting outside later on when waiting for mom to finish up her cancer stick.
Got bored so I took a few more photos for no reason at all.
FINALLY. The new ride at Disneyland! It's taken off of the move Finding Nemo, and. Yeah. I was pretty excited.
It was really cool from the beginning (the outside). The water is all pretty and stuff~ plus the "Mine" birds weren't as annoying as I thought they'd be. They kept shouting "MINE MINE MINE" over a short period of time, and I just giggled and watched them when I was waiting in line.
I know this means nothing to anyone, especially since it's blurry, but you get inside and that's what you look at. Everyone has these little windows in each seat, which, in my opinion, is way too small. The seats were kind of uncomfortable, too. But the ride itself? Oh, my lord.
Okay, so I thought it was going to be just some cheesy animatronics, but no. Besides that there was CG animation under the water. It was really, really amazing. Everything looked so real, and I was flailing and wondering how exactly they did that. Just. LKSAklsakjsd the artist inside me was really pleased with the ride itself.
I admit I got a little scared, though. Claustrophobia + tight submarines = do not want, though the animation distracted me for the better half of the ride. Plus there was this one part where it was super dark and you could only see the sea mines, and. Yeah. I don't even know why that freaked me out. Probably because I have this thing about being underwater. PHOBIA.
Crappy photo is crappy, but this is the sub I went on. Hurrah! I surviiiived.
FOODSES. ♥ Tasty delicious. And yes, I did eat all of that (saved 1/3 of the pasta for home, though), except for the chicken at the side. That was for my mom.
We were sitting around waiting for the fireworks to start, but apparently they cut them off for the night. I was really, really disappointed, but only because the fireworks are my favorite at Disneyland. Sadface. Mom felt bad so she wanted to buy me something awesome when we were walking out of D-land, but there was nothing I could find, really. Then again everything is so horrifically overpriced, so. Do not want.
But the castle is super pretty at night. ♥ So much love. And no, I haven't gotten tired of going to Disneyland just yet. It never gets old to me, no matter how many times a month I go.
Oh, and here's a shot from the parking structure. Hi, Orange, California at night~
Other than that I... have nothing else of importance to say. Iconing is a bitch right now, so I stopped after cropping more bases. So now it's time to do laundry then watch Little Nemo, since my mom's friend let her borrow it. We really do lack in the Disney movie department, despite how much I love it. Oh well.
How's everyone else doing, anyhow?
