Sooo this one is from an angry girl’s perspective!
Start with the last couple days.
Last day of DisneyLand was LOVELY. Up and to the park around 10. Hoped to get Splash Mnt in but the heat had brought people to the realization of Fast Passes. So we walked over to CA Adventures to go on the Grizzly Mnt River Ride. A fairly…sizeable woman got on the raft next to B and we knew RIGHT away that we would be SOAKED (The entire ride is weight based- more heavy? go to the bottom and get wet!)
So we went down the first drop and as we expected, B got SOAKED. And as I turned to laugh at him another wave came up and SMACKED me in my gob! We had hoped (like on past goes on this ride) that the other side of the raft would get pulled and wet but, we got the splash again and were soaked by the time we stepped off. From there we took in a movie to avoid the heavy heat. Saw Funny People and LOVED it. We were those annoying people who openly laugh through the movie. Raucous laughter if you will
Back to the park for a couple Thunder Mnts, then we took in the Fantasmic show again and the last fireworks of the park!
To San Diego yesterday. Busy day, went to the hotel to drop bags then directly to San Diego Zoo. Did a tram ride and a bit of walking. From there we drove to the Wild Animal Park and did a tram Safari. We loved the Safari, but otherwise, were a little bored with both parks. By the time our Safari was done it was hotter than we could handle, so we took off and checked in to the hotel to get settled.
Now…to the hating!! At this point we are FAIRLY bored with San Diego and the zoo/wild animal park. Left early in the morning for our Seaworld day. Good day for the most part. Took in all the shows, got super wet and saw lots of pretty cool animals. We were a little disappointed with the rides (to be expected after a week and a half of theme parks) except for a neat roller coaster elevator in the Atlantis Ride. Also, the Sea Lion show left a little to be desired.
We came home, to realize we were both QUITE burnt (This burn will NOT be gone by the morning). Went in to have a cold shower to cool the burn and wash off the salt water, to find that our shower ceiling had FALLEN into our bathtub. Yes, I am serious, the ceiling was gone, the bathtub was FULL!!!!!! When we went to complain they told us “We noticed that when we cleaned your room (seconds after we left this morning so thank GOD it didn’t fall on us during our shower!) so we put a key block on your card so you wouldn’t be able to get back in. It’s weird that you were able to get in!!”
Yep, they tried to lock us out of our own room! (This may be because B’s key didn’t work when we first checked in so they gave us EXTRA keys…we had THREE different keys by the time we were done)
So we switched rooms to a room with a faulty air conditioner (Thank god B is an engineer and reset it with a PAIR OF TWEEZERS). Also, a SAFETY SHIELD on the front door that CUT BRANDON. We called them right over to fix that and made sure B had a recent tetnas shot. (Although we did have to talk to maintenance man throught fixing it)
From there, the front desk gave us directions to TWO car washes that ended up being closed. When we returned, slightly disgruntled, she was unable to give us quarters for THEIR washing machines (Even after rummaging through her own purse).
We then asked for a good steak place to treat ourselves after a bad day. She directed us to Black Angus. “Just two stop lights away on the left”… well…we walked to the left after the light….and walked, and walked and…walked. No Black Angus. Idiot. After about 8 block we ttthhhiiinnkkkk we saw a sign several blocks further that COULD be Black Angus. We turned around and went to an Olive Garden…
Ordered a shared appy, and a shared entree (Have learned the portions are FAR too big and must share) After I INSISTED not to give us separate plates (we like each other so one is FINE) they brought us our appy, and a late STARTED salad bread. Our entree came on TWO plates, and they had given us extra chicken as they were out of lasagne. I tried to cool my growing temper with a gin and tonic, B with a Mojito.
Next came B’s drink order fiasco. Brandon: “Do you have good rum?” Waiter gives list of rum (including capt morgans) after checking. Brandon: ”No you don’t have good rum. I will have a double Capt. Mo’s with rootbeer” Waiter comes back…: “We don’t know how to make this…explain it to me and I will tell them” Brandon: ”Put two shots of captain morgans rum in a glass…and put some rootbeer in it” Waiter: “Ok I’ll tell them” …waiter comes back: “We have to charge you for the double drink AND for a bottle of rootbeer as we only carry BOTTLES of rootbeer” Brandon: “Ok forget it…I’ll just have this (Bran points to random drink special)”
So…unimpressed!! Bill comes. CHARGED US FOR TWO ENTREE’S!!! Yes…yes they did. In the end they took BOTH entrees off the bill and discounted us 10% and were literally lined up saying goodbye to us shaking in their boots.
Then we returned to the hotel and the TEENY TINY parking slip the hotel gave us a slid down in between my windsheild and vin number and I had to fish it out with a piece of paper.
We HATE San Diego!
