My plan to get many pictures taken by Disneyland photographers on this day was thwarted by the rain. Turns out, the photographers disappear when the rain appears. But when it was still sunny, we got a few photos in front of the Millennium Falcon.
With BB-8
And with this little fellow.
We rode Space Mountain twice, once each day. It’s still just as great as it was when I rode it when I was six. The first time we weren’t ready for the photo, but the second time we were.
Still coming down off that mountain high.
Ready for our closeup. As were the people behind us.
And thus ends the chronical of our Disney vacation. We had a great time.
We were at the rope drop outside Adventureland for our second and final day at Disneyland.
The sun was shining, but rain was forecast.
No rain here yet, though.
We rode the Indiana Jones ride (much fun!) using the Lightning Lanes, and then had a Jungle Cruise. My joke in the lead-up to the trip was that we should watch the Jungle Cruise movie so that we would be caught up for the ride, but Matt declined. He seemed to catch all the Jungle Cruise stuff even having not seen the movie.
We hung out in Galaxy’s Edge and Matt took part in some missions.
There was a tiny Rey running around, and she and the grown-up Rey eventually connected. Here they are watching some Stormtroopers and formulating a plan.
The rain was forecast to begin at 1:19 p.m. and it pretty much did begin at that time. I had hoped the rain would chase some people away, but like us, people were willing to hang out in the rain for their Disney vacation. We prioritized things that had us under cover.
We also rode the train! Twice! The first time I looked out the left-side window (not much to see) and the second time I looked out the right-side window (much to see).
Some of our fellow travelers who weren’t on the train and were in the rain.
We also rode the omnibus that took us from Main Street to Sleeping Beauty’s castle.
As you can see, the rain was persistent. We were both glad we sprung for the good ponchos as they kept us dry the entire time.
Some merry-go-round action showing off the poncho.
And some time for a self-portrait.
The poncho ruins this effect, alas. Matt is attempting to pull the sword out of the stone.
We lasted until about 6 or 7 that night and then returned to our hotel. Though rainy, it was still a good day in Disneyland.
