D23 Convention

I’ve been a charter member of D23 since it started back in 2009. I’ve also been to all the D23 conventions. This year was the 4th installment. And this one was the best. Here is a day by day break down of the activities I attended. DAY 1: I got to Hall E at 4:40am. […]

4200

I need 8 laps to reach 4200 at Radiator Springs Racers. Let’s see how I get there. I arrived at the Mickey and Friends parking lot at 5:50am. Needless to say, I’m the first in line, when they open the parking lot at 6:30am. I brought with me 4 containers of Snickerdoodles for the Pit […]

My Favorite Day at Racers

I sitting in my doctor’s office this morning waiting to get the results from my yearly blood test. What better place to get started on my post.  Last year, on this date, was the 1000 time I got on Racers for the year. I went on the ride 316 times in 2013 and even told […]

4000

Today I will hit 4000 laps (rides) on Radiator Springs Racers. I always get a little nervous and anxious when I get close to a milestone. Partly because I slow down my pace to hit the magic number on a certain day and to arrange the ride with cast members. Yesterday, I only went on […]

46

Yesterday was simply magical. I had no way of knowing that I would be able to reach 46 rides in one day. Forty five was the record I set last year on a Saturday in September. I thought that was a record  that would be hard to break. Boy, was I wrong.  The day started […]

1000th lap this year.

Finish Line Bridge and stats for this year

Walking in the single rider queue can be both adventurous and challenging. Former Radiator Springs Racers cast member, Sherri Bordeaux, joking called the queue, The Jon Hale Expressway. It sure can be when only a few guests are waiting in the line. But there are also times when it can slow to a crawl. Everything […]

JUNE

June has always been a great month for me. It is my birthday month. This mood changed last year. My Father passed away from skin cancer. June will forever be a little bittersweet.  I was trying to reach 1000 laps at Racers (for the year) before he passed. It was not to be. He was […]

3700

Started today 13 laps shy of 3700 all time at Radiator Springs Racers. Should not be too much of a struggle. Arrived at Mickey and Friends parking structure at 6:15am. Parking opened at 6:30am. Saw the trams were not moving, so I walked over to the DCA entrance. I usually do this anyway. Got to […]

14 in a row and Goofy photos

This year is turning out to be more magical than last year. Yesterday started with win after win after win. The cars I was in won the first 14 races. That is a first for me. I’ve lost 9 in a row and won maybe 7 or 8 in a row. But nothing like that. […]
