12th Annual October Trip (Day 3): more Disneyland & DCA

For breakfast Jaylyn wanted kettle corn.

John went out and got some baked goods from Porto's Bakery & Cafe. Glad they opened up a location near Knott's Berry Farm.

Potato Ball filled with ground chicken and fried.

Cheese Roll: Flaky pastry filled with cream cheese. So delicious.

We started our second day at the Disney Parks around 10 am.



Went to the Sunglass Hut to check out the Mickey Ray Ban. They were pricier than I expect. $243. Was hoping they were under $200. I don't like them that much.


Tuesday at the park was way less crowded than Monday.


We ended up purchasing Max Pass for the firs time. $10 per ticket per day. Pretty much you can obtain your Fast Passes via the Disney App. Well worth it.

We rode Astro Blaster cause fast passes were immediately available.


After we headed over to Blue Bayou for lunch. Had lunch reservations.


While we were waiting for you lunch reservations. We wondered around the nearby shops.


Hand etched glass.





Jack Skeleton meet & greet area. He wasn't home.





It's very dark at Blue Bayou, but the menus have built in lights.


Mint Julep & Louisiana Lemonade.

Seafood pasta: Squid ink pasta with shrimp, crab, & lobster in a spicy shrimp sauce. This was delicious.

Catch of the day: Seasonal vegetables & chef's seasonal sauce.

Bone in Pork Loin: mashed potatoes, cherry barbecue sauce, cherry relish, legume salad.

Bone-in Ribeye: mashed potatoes, broccolini

Roasted Chicken Maison: au gratin potatoes, seasonal vegetables, vermouth jus.

Surf & Turf: split lobster tail, petite filet mignon, au gratin potatoes, seasonal vegetables, cabernet sauce.



After lunch we headed to Splash Mountain. I was able to get fast passes while we were having lunch.

Our friends Phil and Quyen were at the park for the day. So they met up with us.

They hand out baggies now for your electronic devices.



Didn't know who the stranger was at the end that was riding with us, but they fit right in.


Phil sat in front.

I sat in front also... We were soaked.


Hopped on Winnie the Pooh for Jaylyn and it was like a 1 minute wait.







Then we headed to space mountain. We had fast passes for this also.







Spicy Frito Pie. Forgot what they called it, but it's a Frito Pie.

Bacon Mac & Cheese Hot dog.

Around 4 pm we started to head our way to DCA. Disneyland was closing early for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween.



Jaylyn is really into bubbles at the moment. Dad in the background providing the bubbles.


Had fast passes for Soarin' also.



Also had fast passes for Midway Mania. Max Pass is great.

Did better this time around.

Awww yeah best in vehicle.

We had about an hour of down time before RSR. So we stopped by the new Lamp Light Lounge previous Aerial's Grotto, for a drink.




Infinity Fizz: Powerade Mountain Berry Blast, Apple Juice, & Cherry Pearls. Dry Ice at the bottom.


I think this is Plot Twist: Absolut Citron Vodka, Midori, White Cranberry Juice, and fresh Lime juice.

They didn't have anything new that was off menu, but they still had the Zombie.

We really liked the coasters so we asked for some and the cast member gave us a huge stack.

They also had the Fun Wheel.

It was time for RSR so we grabbed our drinks to go.


Came back for a rematch and still lost.




After RSR we headed to Carthay Circle Restaurant for dinner.



We had a rather large party so they sat us in the Wishing Well room which was nice and private.






The Derby: Bulleit Bourbon, fresh Grapefruit juice, Honey, Served straight up.

I think this is an Old Fashion.




Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio


Wagyu Beef and Truffle Ravioli.. this was so good.

Thick-cut Berkshire Pork Chop

Creekstone Farms "Prime" New York

Maple Leaf Duck Breast


Brussle Sprouts served on the stalk

Roasted Heirloom Carrots

Irish Coffee.

Fairytale Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake for John's Birthday.


Just as we were finishing dinner the fireworks show started.


DCA closed at 9 pm. Part of the group went back to the house. While the rest of us continued the night of drinking at Trader Sam's.


That ends day 3. Tomorrow it's time to head home.
