Soarin' To New And Familiar Places At The Disneyland Resort

Good day fellow ME readers

It's me, Mint, posting my pictures on a Saturday.
I would have done it on Friday, but a friend had comp tickets for Universal Studios Hollywood that had to be used on that date.

Let's step back in time to Wednesday, June 15 to ride Soarin' Over California one last time before it soars away forever at Disney California Adveture

The FastPass line was all the way to the Smokejumpers Grill doors.

Yikes! 1 hr and 45 min.
It actually took a little over 2 hours to get to the load gates

Goodbye Soarin' Over California

I wanted to watch them close the doors to the hanger, but because it was a Grad-Nite that evening, they still had the doors open and letting in Guests with wristbands to enter

Once the Park opening spiel started to play, the allowed those who were waiting at the entry point of Grizzly Peak Airfield to enter the area.
Pretty much everyone there was going to Soarin' Around The World

Getting a FastPass, we had to walk down the street towards the plane, and then walk this makeshift queue, eventually entering through the FastPass distribution exit to obtain a Soarin' Around The World FastPass

The Single Rider option for Soarin' Around The World is temporarily on hiatus

With the new Soarin' Around The World, Disney probably didn't want a mob of Guests to all clamor the Single Rider line

Disneyland Resort, Disney California Adventure, Grizzly, Peak, Airfield, Soarin, Soarin', Around, World
Not so bad for the first thing in the morning

Disneyland Resort, Disney California Adventure, Grizzly, Peak, Airfield, Soarin, Soarin', Around, World
The Stand-By wait was climbing up fast

The inside queue is pretty much the same.

Unfortunately, the flight pattern on the screen does not match the actual video

They use EPCOT's version of the pre-boarding safety flight spiel
You'll notice they removed the Soarin' Over California sign that hung right behind him.

They blacked out the word "Disneyland" that was printed on the band of the shirt

Overall, I thought Soarin' Around The World was good.
The added transitions between each of the scenes were a nice touch
Quite a number of CGI elements. I am guessing Disney wasn't allowed permission to fly over some of the landmarks, so they had to turn to technology to help them out.

After wondering Disney California Adventure for a bit, it was time to head to Disneyland
