Dad, Pirate, Grumpy. We are 5 all together if you leave out the 4 leggers. My wife loves Disneyland so much it enchants us all. We are all AP holders and go as often as possible. My name is GrumpyPirateDad and I'm addicted to all things Disneyland.
Well I guess I've seen about everything... #Dumbo in flight.

"Remember..." Haunted Mansion and Pirates. #fireworks
A while back there was a private event that rented out the park after regular hours and had their own showing of the Remember! fireworks. I decided to stay a little longer to watch the show from Main Street. The entire crowd was in front of the castle, leaving Main Street completely empty. The music really booms and echos when there's nobody in the street. When this part came up during the show, it was a really creepy feeling to be one of the few people standing on an empty Main Street while the side fireworks went off after he says "is this room actually stretching??" and then boom! - BaseballMickey_CM2861.5 #16 5-14-13 10:58PMLike(1) Reply
First of all...a private fireworks show!?! 2nd, that's really creepy but cool to be all alone on Main Street-especially during that part of the show! Yikes! - missariel33 110.5 #2896 5-14-13 11:11PM
That's awesome. And that the show can still provide surprises is amazing. - GrumpyPirateDad 502.4 #237 5-14-13 11:31PM
Ohh no not me. I'll watch the minis because there's no way I'm riding the real one. Hahah I want to go ask if they give tours. - GrumpyPirateDad 502.4 #237 5-13-13 6:54PM

Wristbands for "May the 4th" pins in DTD Gone. Few still available for Store Command. May the force be with you. Happy Trading.
Did you get any? I was actually this close to getting to buy some from a very generous person with an extra wristband. I did get the shirts though! - meridafan1036.8 #83 5-4-13 2:37PMLike Reply
My land speeder broke and I had to take the barge but yes I was lucky enough to get them and the tshirts for my rebel son. It looked as though I was one of the last (judging by the amount of wristbands I saw left) are they sold out? They were to let the rest go at 1pm to those without wristbands.
