Disneyland 2017 Mickey Sink Pants Sundae and GWBR

Disneyland 2017 Mickey Sink Pants Sundae and GWBR

Mickey Sink Pants Sundae?!?  Yes, Mickey Sink Pants Sundae!


What are you taking a picture of?

A wall of Mickey sink pants of course.  Uh what?  Well, you obviously want your sundae in a mash-up of Mickey's pants and a kitchen sink.

In between the chocolate ears? That is a kitchen sink faucet.

To be fair it is a very tasty sundae!  For my friends it has become a ritual-must eat Sink Pants Sundae!!  

I'm so glad I learned about the sink pants, but the waffle cone with the Mickey detail is good too.

Anyway!  Eating the Sink Pants Sundae was not the ONLY reason we went to Disneyland, but it was an important one.
The other best sweet treat of the trip were the gold sparkle dusted churros-wow, too fun!  It is some sort of limited time offer and we had to hunt it down.

We gave ourselves a fancy treat and had dinner at the Napa Rose chef table.  We were paired up with the pastry chef so I got to talk to her about the amazing gingerbread rendition of the Grand Californian I had just seen in December!

The best ride in California Adventure is Heimlich's Chew-Chew train!!

But is it really?  Well, I admit that it is the slowest ride ever.  But there is a certain style you get no where else-it is hilarious and pun filled.  And it is even better if you can make all your friends ride it ;)

This is more like it!

My favorite line of all time is the Radiator Springs Racers

A whole wall of bottles that let in the light.

The best cacti

I took a succulents class where I learned that cacti can be 'monstous'.  That is they grow in mutated shapes.  It can't be bred so they are especially rare-love that Disney puts them here even though hardly anyone will care.  I would love to work for Disney gardening!

Treats for Trivia:  When you stay at the hotel you can play their trivia in the park game-it should be listed on the daily activities info sheet. You get to do silly things like count the number of chickens in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
We got the cutest luggage tags!

Previously I got some fun pins

during the trip where we race-walked the 5K.  Fantastic fun-after dark we ran around California Adventure.

Shortly after this trip a group of bicycle lovers spent Memorial Day Weekend at GWBR (gwub-er)  The Great Western Bicycle Rally.  A weekend of all things bicycle, in a chill and relaxed fashion.

Somehow I took no photos except
a completely random pic of the inside of our rental RV-LOL!  The best thing was we rented from an individual rather than a company so the RV itself was fancier, newer, well stocked and completely functional.  

And yet it was an amazing weekend and one I want to do again.  The set up is at the Paso Robles fairgrounds and you can RV it or camp (including inside the fort-best spot obviously).  We were there to be casual cyclists and did not want to do the 100 mile ride-still on my to do list someday.

Instead we went for the passport ride.  This ~30 mile route took us past local businesses like coffee shops, bakeries, ice creamery, winery/brewery and the bike store.  We stop inside to get a stamp....and possibly purchase/consume whatever they sell.  Fantastic!  Had a lovely day full of biking and goodies and hanging out.
