I went to Disneyland for the first time in six years yesterday.
I got to Disneyland about 10am yesterday and checked the stand by time for ROTR. It was 2 1/2 hours. I bought a lightning pass for it and 30 minutes later I was riding. Later last night the stand by was 50 minutes so I rode it a second time. I'm floored by that ride. I was majorly impressed. It was worth the $20. On the other hand, I had to wait an hour in stand by for Haunted Mansion Holiday since the girl handling the switch between standby and lightening pass was doing 30 lightening pass to 5 stand by. The Falcon was good as long as you get to drive. Otherwise, I just held down the fire button and watched. The screen was kind of dark but everything was pretty.
Got in the cantina a couple of times but kept missing my reservation. The food was good. The non-alcoholic drinks were nice. The alcoholic drinks are serious over priced at $16-18 is robbery. Good thing I don't drink. The food quality was better in GE than most of the park. It was a weird shift leaving GE and entering Disneyland. It felt like going to a different world.
The rest of the day, I did pretty much everything. Lightening pass made the standby lines go fast for smaller rides but stopped the holiday overlay rides. I did Space Mountain and Big Thunder on stand by in half the posted time since the lightning pass line wasn't jumping.
The Genie+ app is completely worthless. It keeps trying to send me where I don't want to go. It is poorly organized and still relies on the web site. It feels thrown together.
It will be a few years before I go back.
