It's Mothman in French

Le Man de Moth

My scores for this trip. Didn't manage to break my high score for Midway Mania and did best on my first ride. I think I need to ride with someone to light the competitive fire in me lmao

Buzz Lightyear got a refurb so that the blasters are no longer mounted to the vehicle themselves (like Disneyland's version) but also aiming and confirmation of hits is a lot clearer so it's easier to get a better score.

Not pictured since it's not the easiest to get photos of, Mario Kart at Nintendo World: scores of 135 and 129

We spent a day split up between Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and Magic Kingdom trying to catch up on a couple things we missed previous days. The last day was pure Magic Kingdom where the longest waits were unsurprisingly for Tiana's Bayou Bash and Tron. I'm glad I did the former as I so rarely got to ride Splash Mountain as it is since my family prefers not to get wet on it or it'll be closed for cleaning/refurb. The new themeing is cute if not a lil odd in some places and the line is long and terrible still, but Naveen is there and of course it has fantastic music so I won't complain too much. And idgaf about Tron as a franchise and the light bike cars aren't terribly comfortable when you're just waiting for the ride to start or to be let off, but it's still a fun coaster and just looks really good. We had dinner at Be Our Guest and of course it was very good.

I took most of the third day off to give my feet some rest since we'd already been at it for a week. I hit up some single rider stuff in Hollywood Studios before a break at the room and then met up with family at Animal Kingdom for dinner at Tusker House along with my fave ducks!

Day two of Disney was Hollywood Studios and the first day of pride month! We also had a night with no dinner reservation so mom and I went off property to get some Chuy's, making it the first time we'd been to a Chuy's outside of Texas.

Check-in day included a reservation at Skipper Canteen where I got duck fried rice 👀 Also made sure to go ride Space Mountain my beloved first things first. Also our bus driver was fun and gave us lil tokens of bus wheels for joking around with him.

Official first day was at Epcot including seeing my boys at the Grand Fiesta Tour, a prickly pear frozen lemonade, the very end of the Flower and Garden festival, plenty of ducks, and as usual Spaceship Earth lit up really nice.

We ended the Universal leg with a bit of the og park and last minute rerides at Epic. Came away from Nintendo land with a massive Yoshi plush I couldn't stop thinking of all week.

Shifting over to Disney where we checked into the Animal Lodge Hotel with a savanna view.

We ended up closing out Epic Universe every single night of the Universal leg of our trip lmao

Islands of Adventure had a comics and cartoons themed water ride area that was a lil funky but cute. We went back to Dark Universe to have dinner at Das Steakhaus including brisket meatloaf and a red velvet death.

Got over to Dark Universe as it grew dark and rain clouds rolled in for the perfect atmosphere. Frankenstein's Experiment was hands down my favorite ride at the park. A whole lotta fun and a fantastic queue to boot.

A quick shot of some of the Celestial Park lit up near closing and in the rain.

More Nintendo land from day one. Found most of the pikmin in the mushroom kingdom but didn't notice any in the queues or on the rides. Maybe next time.

Had the pizza bowl at the Toadstool Cafe as well as garlic knots I could've drowned myself in and some of the Princess Peach cake.

Day one: Epic Universe including the Isle of Berk and Nintendo Land.

Ended up with the second highest score in our kart coming in with just *one* coin less than my brother >:(

[papillhomme]

Kind of sort of day one... day zero? at Universal. Dinner at the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium.

A mint milkshake (not mine), chocolate macadamia cherry cocktail, and totchos.

Spent our final day in San Diego down by the bay at the Maritime Museum. While the family went to tour the USS Midway, I spent some time in the park nextdoor.

[papillhomme]

Got to see the pandas before we got on a bus tour thru the zoo.

[papillhomme]

Some more critters from the San Diego zoo.

[papillhomme]

Went to the San Diego zoo which is absolutely massive. There was no way we were getting through everything in one day especially not after having already spent three days walking around other places.

[papillhomme]

Part way thru the day we took a break at the hotel and went back to California Adventure shortly before nightfall. I was surprised to see they put in a Deadpool and Wolverine cameo at the end of the Black Widow and Captain America stunt show for the hour we came across it.

[papillhomme]

Day two was designated for California Adventures and after getting Radiator Springs Racers out of the way first thing, we spent a fair amount of time at Avengers Campus in the morning. It was back to Disneyland to have lunch at Blue Bayou inside Pirates of the Caribbean though.
