Christmas Week

This week I have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday (Christmas Eve) off from work. I also have Christmas day off but do not come to Racers on Sunday.

Monday, December 18th:

I got to Disney California Adventure at 9 am. I first went to Tower of Terror. My friend Aubree was the Bellhop that dispatched me for ride 256.

I got to Radiator Springs Racers at 9:38 am. The single rider line was not that busy. Even with a 25-minute downtime for a show issue, I got 10 rides in by 1:22 pm. Only 5 more to reach 8200 rides. I took an 8-minute break and got back in the single rider line at 1:34 pm. It took until 4:05 pm to get another 4 rides. I then got in line for ride 8200. At 4:41 pm, in Silver 4, on Ramone side for the race, I hit the 8200 ride. I also won the race.

I went on Racers 5 more times in the day and ended at 8205.

Desiree showed up and we went on Tower of Terror together. My 257th time. I left the park at 9 pm.

Tuesday, December 20th:

I got to the Parking structure at 6 am. I got to Tower of Terror at 8:05 am. I went on my trip to the 13th floor for the 258th time.

I then got to Racers at 8:35 am. No wait in Single Rider line. I got in 6 rides by 10:08 am. Then the ride broke down. A single car issue that only lasted 10 minutes.

Things went pretty smooth after that. I reached 12 rides for the day, by 12:30 pm. One of them was with my friend, Kameron Rogers. She was visiting from Idaho with her husband, Chuck and 2 daughters, Bree and Alli. We all went in the single rider line. It just worked out that Kameron and I got to sit together. Kameron and I worked together at KDOC-TV in the late 80’s.

I went over to Tower and got to ride for the 259th time, I also saw Sarah G. and got a picture with her, John and Kenny.

Back to Racers at 1:20 pm. By the time I left Racers at 6:40 pm, I got another 11 rides. I ended up with 23 for the day.

Wednesday, December 21st:

Came into DCA when the park opened at 8 am. Went straight to Racers. The single rider line was pretty empty most of the day. It startled to rain after my 14th ride of the day. Then on lap 15, I got soaked. The rain was pretty heavy. I was not prepared for the rain. I went to one of the gift shops and bought a poncho. I wanted to get at least 20 rides, so I continued to race. My cast member friend, Carlene, told me, “it’s only water”. I saw my friend Sara S. and her family visiting from Colorado. They were also in the single rider line. I first met them when I was at 6700 rides. My friend, Etsuko, also came by the ride. She was visiting from Japan. We went in the single rider line twice.

I ended up with 27 rides today. I’m now at 8255. I got wet weather photos with my cast member friends.

This day set up what could be another magical day on Christmas Eve. Last Christmas Eve, I got 52 rides. It is supposed to rain. So that could hurt or help the cause.
