Nevvie and the Ultra Super Fun Best Day Ever

[neverwhere]

Guess who spent 13 hours at Disneyland on sunday (after working at 5am, because she's so hardcore)? WHY YES, ITS MEEEEEE. I did I did! *flounce* :D

nut_m3g and I went to Disneyland to celebrate her birthday and meet up with mirdonamy for Bats Day, the unofficial SoCal Goth community meetup thingy at the park. The day started off brilliantly, when a man approached us in the ticket queue, saying he had two extra tickets and would like us to have them for free. After a bit of 'whaaa?'-type dithering, we gratefully accepted his offer and entered the park without paying a thing. Let me say this again, because it's just so amazing -- We got into Disneyland FOR FREE. I'm still gobsmacked about that, actually. *giggles*
So what did we do with the extra money we didn't spend on tickets? We bought PIRATE HATS of course! Megan loves pirates, I love pirates, we needed silly pirate hats that speak to you saying 'Dead men tell no tales muahahahaha'. We wore ours proudly all day long, and even got compliments from random people saying how awesome we looked. Cause we so are. *smug*

I thought I would be annoyed by the changes made to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride to make it more like the movies, but I actually liked them a lot, especially Captain Jack at the end counting his treasure. The best part was that part of his sleeve had fallen, revealing the metal animatronic arm, which I thought added a bit of unintentional spookiness to the show. We were actually one of the last people to be allowed on the ride in the morning, as they needed to fix poor Jack and make him look human again. Once again, we were really lucky. Wah hey. *grins*

We met up with mirdonamy and her friends several times during the day, but as she was the official photographer for Bats Day she had her own rather hectic schedule to keep, which was fine really as Megan and I had fun bouncing around to random rides and not really keeping a schedule at all. The best experience was definitely SPACE MOUNTAIN, which is new and improved but thankfully still ridiculously cheesy and outrageously fun; we screamed and squealed and laughed till we couldn't breathe, it was just that exciting. Afterwards I practically pounced on a very pretty boy wearing a gorgeous purple velvet frock coat and bowler hat, and though I got his name (Steven) and discovered he looked familiar because I remembered him from Anime Expo (he cosplayed as Rock Lee from Naruto -- a really hot Lee, if you can believe it), I sadly did not get his number or email or anything useful like that, because I am a big fat dork and ruined any such opportunity with my social ineptitude. Doh. I did find out he'll be at the Ani-Magic convention in Lancaster at the end of next month -- I wasn't going to attend because it's a bit of a schlep for such a small con, but now I think I really must chase him down and make him snog talk to me. I wonder if he'll even remember me. I think he has a girlfriend anyway, as he was talking to a very attractive Victorian Goth girl before I approached him...and I'm rambling, aren't I. *giggles sheepishly* What was I saying? Oh yeah, Space Mountain RULES! :D

I'll be posting any official Bats Day photos of us once they are available, but in case anyone cares about that sort of thing, I was Goth #538 at the big Haunted Mansion photo gathering where all the attendees are accounted for. I think Megan and I were the only ones in pirate hats, so it'll be pretty easy to spot us in the crowd. *grins* (Plus we do know the photographer, so there might be some good close ups of us looking silly. Yay. :)
I took a few pictures myself, which you can view here, if you are so inclined, but I think I'll spam you all anyway with my favourite, because it's just so veryvery stupid. Heehee.



Er...wot? :)

Nevvie, you have had the most awesome day in the history of awesome days but of course you already know that.

I wish I could get into Disneyland for free. *le sigh*

Oh well, I get into Michigan Renaissance Festival for free. That's only because I'm on cast, but it's nice not to have to pay to get in like I did last year. And the years before.

Is that Cap'n Jack with Disneyland or something?? Is that why the wait to take a picture was so long?

I saw on the telly about the animatronics for the PotC ride and it was scary good. Plus it had jonny depp on the ride, standing beside himself which was equally odd.
