Great trip report. I especially love the picture of your travel companions on the train. I am looking forward to hearing about the 60th celebration activities!

Thanks for sharing this trip with us, Bret. Looks like it was a fun trip with the company you had and the attractions/rides that you did.
Hope you have a great weekend at SJ and Oakland.
Looking forward to hearing all about your plans for the next trip.
Nice that DD4 was able to ride RSR. I always like to see the Aladdin show, so well produced. You got some great close up shots of the Soundsational Parade. It's always sad leaving DL, but at least everyone knows that they will be back again someday.
It took an hour and ten minutes to get from Sacramento to OC.
DAW was able to purchase park hopper tickets on parksavers.com.
we looked at Dumbo, it had a 10 minute wait time which was kind of shocking during that time of the day.
until the Mad T Party returns for the summertime
This is one reason why I don't ride RSR first thing in the morning since it is not operational and you lose quite a bit of your morning.
It just shows you that she is excited at one point and scared the next.
DD4 was excited to ride FLB. I don't like riding spinning rides like the Tea Cups and FLB.
he wants to get the hot link corn dog.
DD4 was so excited to be able to ride GSS that afternoon. This was the first most intense ride she rode at the DLR. DD4 wanted to go on more exciting rides. For me, GSS is a good ride but the turns can hurt a little when riding GSS.
Around 8:30pm, the queue for both BB and RBT was going and when we were passing by, most of the guests with the regular FP’s are already in the viewing areas. I never imagined that the sides would be all filled up before the center spot. If I ever do F! again in the near future, I am thinking of trying out the regular FP areas. But after seeing where the regular FP areas are, I might have to reconsider.
We waited for some time to get on board the subs since the wait time was about a 20 minute wait.
Dang must be nice to fly! It wouldn't be worth it for us to fly out of fresno. I'm sure the tickets would be outrageously priced!
Ugh, i'm so sad I haven't been into the parks since they've been released. I think they came out right after we visited. Do you know if they have them at the Starbucks in DTD? They probably don't. And it sucks we'll be right there at DLR and not even going into the parks. Perhaps i'll have someone with an AP buy one for me??
Oh no wonder what happened?! Maybe she was just so excited to meet them that she just cried?!
So you'd recommend doing the BB Dining Package for F!? I haven't seen F! in years because I refuse to stand with the crowds. I'm on the shorter side so it was always difficult to see anything. But with this, i'd consider doing it. Did you say $61 per person right? How much for kids?
Hi!
You always have the nicest photos on your trip reports.
I soooo wanna experience the 60th year.
Hi Michele,
Thank you. It was nice to go for a couple of hours that day. It was quite busy that afternoon.
The 60th Diamond Celebration is great but there is also a disadvantage of coming just when it started.
I am now back at the DLR for the fifth day of the 60th Diamond when it started on May 22nd and the crowds are quite heavy today. I am already staking my spot for Paint the Night parade tonight on MS and there eere already people waiting for the 8:50pm parade and I got there around 6:20pm. The streets of MS are already filled and I am at the back of the rope off area. Talk about a crazy day today where the park was busy.
I wasn't able to go on any rides today since I was looking for popcorn buckets today from the new Mickey shape ballon bucket which there are three (purple, red, and blue). DL also has the Cinderella pumpkin coach bucket which was nice to get. I also did some shopping at the stores to get the new 60th merchandise. When I looked at the wait times and they were quite long from HM to 50 minutes, Indy 50, Space 50, you know what I mean which looks like summer crowds. With the SoCal AP's not block out today might have cause the heavy crowds at DL today for them to see the new nighttime shows.
I'm sad to hear it's so busy out there. I was hoping to go out there in a week or two before school gets out.
Maybe you guys can slip a quick trip in?
We're less than half an hour away. The problem is Fran's mobility. She is having issues with her arthritis meds. We thought it was over but now we have another chapter starting tomorrow when we see the arthritis doctor again.

It's hard to enjoy the parks when they're that busy.
Hi Bret, so excited to see the pictures you posted of the Diamond Celebration and the new Condor Flats! I like the new Soarin' sign too. Have a great time!
