Happy Halloween!

Disney California Adventure does not have very much Halloween Decor. :(

We are on the Golden Zephyr, which is not scary at all! But you can see Mickey's Fun Wheel, otherwise known as Mickey's Wheel of Death. It has a lot of cars that swing really really far on a track. I also know a lot of people who are terrified to even ride on the non-swinging cars! They think it is the scariest ride in the park!

Kirsten Hugged Duffy!

Here is an abbreviated version of Duffy's story.

Yadda yadda yadda...

And since Kirsten was the brave one, she got the sticker!

Kirsten and Duffy

Then we proceeded to a rather lonely meet-and-greet area. "We should meet him," I decided.

"DUFFYYYYYYYYY!" I said. I am shy to meet characters so Kirsten heroically threw herself in front of me to take Duffy's hug.

"Actually, you threw me in front of you," said Kirsten. "As clearly shown in the picture. Good thing I like character hugs. Hmph."

I love Duffy now and even love getting hugs from him, by the way. I have another blog, updated every day, all about my Tiny Duffy, his friend Tiny Shellie May, Disneyland, etc. etc. Daily Duffy is also on Facebook if you like to get updates that way!

Kirsten and a Muffin

Then we went over to Disney California Adventure, which may have been called Disney's California Adventure back then. Long story. Not interesting.

"It's so festive!" said Kirsten.

And she proceeded to eat the whole thing. SIGH.

Great Moments with...

"I fixed the sign," said Kirsten.

Great Moments with Kirsten

Good thing she's not vain or anything.

Kirsten by Rivers of America

So then I guess we went to the Rivers of America.

Not sure why we went, but the water is nice.

Kirsten on a Trash Can

It is early enough in the morning, no one's set anything gross on this trash can yet, right?

RIGHT?

Ah well. That's what shoes are for, I guess.

Kirsten's Shoes

"Have you seen my shoes?" asked Kirsten.

"That is one more reason I am better than Rapunzel. I have shoes."

"Be nice, Kirsten. Besides, she has Flynn." I sighed.

Kirsten made a face. "You mean Eugene Fitzhibert. That's a horrible last name to marry into."

Good thing Kirsten is too young to like boys, let alone get married. There are not very many eligible boy dolls around anyway.

Kirsten is Picky

"No, no, you're doing it wrong."

"Get more of my dress in the picture."

"If you're so great, why don't you take the pictures?" I grumbled.

"Then I'd have to take pictures of you," Kirsten sighed. "And everyone knows you are not very photomogenic."

Fair enough, but I think Kirsten needs to borrow Mini Kit's dictionary.

"No!" cried Kirsten. "Not Mini Kit! Worst flashback ever!"

Disneyland is MY Land

"Main Street is so pretty when there aren't too many people in it," said Kirsten.

"Disneyland is MY land!" she added. "Walt Disney said so."

"I'm not sure he was talking about you when he said 'Disneyland is your land'," I said. "Since Walt Disney passed away long before you were born."

"But I was born in 1844!" Kirsten argued. "You're the one who wasn't born before Walt Disney died."

Maybe she has a point.

Main Street Train Station

It's the train station! (Which is dressed up a little bit for Halloween.)

That peon on the right was nice enough to dress in pink to match my dress.

"Kirsten!"

She didn't apologize.

Kirsten's Photoshoot

Now we are on the ground, like all the normal people. :(

But I got to have my own private photoshoot in Disneyland!

Scenery from the Omnibus

"Whee! It is fun to pass by all those peons."

"Hey! Where did all the peons go! Darn it. Well, more room for me, I guess."

Kirsten and the Hub

If you frame a shot correctly, Disneyland does not look very busy. I am sure the rain helped.

Main Street at HalloweenTime

That banner is very helpful in reminding us that it is HalloweenTime.

The outfits for the Cast Members on the Main Street vehicles are very boring. They look almost like something that Cheap Lady would wear to work. Only nicer and classier.

Kirsten and the Omnibus

Does anyone like wait boards? That Cheap Lady does. Even though this was October 2010. :P

Princesses don't walk in the rain, so we rode in the Omnibus! Only the bottom was open because it was raining.

Mine! All mine!

That Cheap Lady says she should have dressed me as a seagull from Finding Nemo. NOT FUNNY.

Kirsten by the back side of Sleeping Beauty Castle

"I am in DISNEYLAND!"

"Even if it's a little rainy, I am having such a wonderful time!"

Kirsten is hyper

I was not hyper! That Cheap Lady was very excited that Rapunzel and Flynn liked her dress. And me I guess. :P

So we were working toward meeting her mom, who is nice and sometimes buys me things. But we stopped for castle pictures first.

Kirsten with Rapunzel and Flynn

And look who else is here?

Look how great they thought I am! And with good cause. :)

Kirsten meets Rapunzel!

Rapunzel thought I was great!

She was a little too impressed that that Cheap Lady made my dress. Hmph.

Very close...

"We are close!"

"Look! We're almost into the meet and greet!"

Ready to meet Rapunzel

"I see a Cast Member," said Kirsten.

"Does that mean we're almost inside?"

"I think we still have a little wait," I said.

Kirsten sighed. "They should let me go first. I'm the smallest."

Kirsten's long hair

"Look how long my braid is!" said Kirsten. "I am so clever."

Kirsten is bored waiting

"Oh, what a pretty tower," said Kirsten. "Not quite as tall as the one in the movie. Hey, if you don't let me go on more adventures, can I hit you with a frying pan?"

Maybe if she brought me a dashing Flynn.  Er, I mean, no.

Kirsten the Pessimist

"It's raining," said Kirsten. "Buy me an umbrella."

"It is only sprinkling," I said. "And look how neat the carousel lights look! I'm not sure they turn them on when it's sunny."

"Look how boring the sky looks, all overcast." Kirsten sighed. "This is not the happiest place on Earth at all. Disney should fix the weather."

Sigh.

Lousy Snow White Girl

"Cheap Lady?" asked Kirsten. "Can we please push by that Snow White-looking girl in line?"



"Um, no."

"But I said please," Kirsten sniffed.

"Still no."

"But my dress is nicer than hers!"

"I don't know about that."

Kirsten paused. "Well, it was made in the USA. With love?" she asked hopefully.

"Yes," I said. "But still no."

"Hmph." Kirsten spent a few minutes pouting. She was pretty insufferable.

I am waiting in a line

Yes, I am at DISNEYLAND!

There was not much line for Indiana Jones, which was my last ride.

There is a line for this attraction.

Where's Kirsten?

Do you know where I am?

Does this help?

Hiding in a second bag

I hid in the airplane, then I had to steal away in a second bag...

Where do you think we are going?

Kirsten's Halloween Adventures

That cheap lady was going on another vacation! :( :( :( She left me a pretty Halloween costume, I guess. It was nice, but I felt just like Rapunzel in her tower. :(

But then, right before she left...I got an idea.

  

Hee hee.
