8r4d We started collecting those Starbucks #coffee mugs with the stylized art and locations on them a while ago, and they have turned into quite a collection, so much so that we’ve kinda sworn off buying any more. That is also a good thing because they changed up the style in North America and they are hard to find. Sure, the new Disney series doesn’t perfectly match the style of the rest of our collection, but I couldn’t help adding just one more #starwars limited edition to my set. And who says I haven’t been to Hoth anyways?

8r4dsfeets Last day in Anaheim and #breakfast before we fly. You wouldn’t have thought it, and neither did we before we sat down and ordered, but mediocre pancakes were literally the most expensive meal of our trip. Two stars, would not recommend.

8r4d Just those last day #fireworks at #disney2024 —and just like that four days in Disneyland wraps up. We parked on the warm pavement for a solid hour to watch the show, hit last couple of rides on the way out of the park, did some window shopping, and waved goodbye for another couple years.

8r4d #disney2024 #starwars We logged into another trip on Smugglers Run, the premise being that six people get tossed into a motion simulator version of a borrowed Millennium Falcon to do a cargo run. Each person is assigned a role. The Kid and I were pilots. Karin was a gunner. And the family (including a grandmother and her two very young grandkids behind us who may have just gotten lost and wandered into the ride looking for a bathroom) were the other gunner and the engineers. Needless to say we scored about 30% on the game as the kids howled in confusion behind us, but it was a good time.

8r4d #starwars #disney2024 You’d think all we did on this trip was hang out in the Star Wars themed area of Disneyland, huh?

8r4d #disney2024 Mickey-shaped pretzels, a crazy-sweet candy apple, and of course no trip to the park is complete (for me at least) without a world famous smoked turkey leg.

8r4d #starwars #disney2024 Our third time aboard the Star Tours ride, and Karin had done a bunch of research on how to become the “rebel spy” which is the one person from each cabin who is “randomly” picked to have their photo on the screen when the stormtroopers stop the ride and kick the story into a kind of chase mode (which is the premise of the ride.) Despite her annoyance that I was snapping photos and distracting her while she was following the tips on how to get picked, she actually did.
