Disneyland Update - Last Days of Splash Mountain, Pride Merchandise and More

5/30/2023

 
It's time for one of our very rare Disneyland updates. Typically when we go to Disneyland we aren't there for updates, just to enjoy our day. There are so many Disneyland Blogs/Vlogs out there most of our Disneyland updates get lost. So we reserve them for only a couple of times per year. Here is one of them. Enjoy!! =) 
Picture
Welcome to the Happiest Place on Earth
Picture
They had a special flag retreat ceremony for Memorial Day, more on that below.
Picture
It seemed everybody was heading for Splash Mountain, we were not, we decided to rope drop Rise of the Resistance, something we don't typically do.
Picture
In fact, it's so rare that we went the completely wrong way through Critter Country and didn't realize the line started way back here. Oops.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Still, it was only about a 45 minute wait (vs the posted 85) so no problem.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Also rode Indy for the first time since the refurbishment, so great!
Picture
Disappointed the "news of the world" stuff didn't come back. Would be great if Disney would put it online or something.

Over near It's a Small World, the Live Action Little Mermaid photo up is available. It was quite popular when we walked by later.
Picture
Our first time in Toontown since all of the walls came down. We love it. Still too many kids. =)
Picture
Picture
Picture
We also rode Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. We love this ride SO much.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Love all of the little jokes in the queue.
Picture
I'm not usually one for conspiracy's, but when a posted 50 minute wait is only 15 minutes, there may be something to the Lightning Lane one.
Picture
Some Pride merchandise has also shown up in both parks. Love the collection this year.
Picture
Picture
Picture

Picture
Picture
A new Little Mermaid Spirit Jersey
Picture
And this awesome shirt! I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this in the outlet, I can't imagine it's that popular but I think I need it.
Picture
Also took a final ride on Splash Mountain.
Picture
I've never been the biggest fan of this attraction and always found it overrated. I got yelled at for saying that yesterday. I also think other attractions are overrated.
Picture
But I did enjoy my last ride. Video and pictures of my last ride are below.
Picture
Still wondering what's going to happen with Critter Country. With Tiana's restaurant being on the other side of Haunted Mansion, and the entrance to Splash Mountain being a couple of football fields away, well, we'll see.
Picture
We headed over to DCA for some drinks and snacks in the afternoon.
Picture
The watermelon margarita was very tasty.
Picture
We got Steppenwolf for I think the first time, and had a great group in our lift!
Picture
Picture
Is this new, or am I just not that perceptive? (probably the latter)
Picture
Back at Disneyland, we caught the end of the Flag Retreat.
Picture
Which included some low level fireworks.

We had planned on staying later in the evening, but while DCA was pleasantly absent of crowds, in the few hours we left Disneyland, the park just got swamped. So we decided to head out after doing some shopping. 

As of right now we have plans to be back at the park for the first day of Rogers: The Musical. So we may actually have two Disneyland updates in a month. That's gonna be some kind of record for us. =) 

​We hope you enjoyed the update! Have a great week!
