Trip Report Tu in ‘25

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tu in ‘25

These lyrics came to mind when I thought about my trip reporting. (I also thought, Here we go AGAIN but the above sounds much more poignant.) It’s now that time of year when my Disney trips are frequent. And this Disney Senior loves sharing her visits with y’all because your engagement makes it fun!

Yes, there will be stuff that’s the same. Yes, there will be surprises (too soon for the reveals). And yes, there will be sun rises!

Spring break countdown is at 4 days.

Since this intro needs a picture, here are Tu.

Wednesday, con’t

Disneyland thinks it’s OK to have a Shooting Gallery….

As we were crossing the hub Em pointed and said, “The entrance to Tomorrowland has a cool sculpture.”

Me: “That’s Astro Orbiter!”

LL#5

The smell of diesel fumes is not as prevalent here. Fun Fact: Autopia cars will be fully electric in 2026.

Em wanted us to ride together. She’s a wee bit older than the first time she was an Autopia driver.

(Fun fact: The Tuva Tykes’ father is in the car behind Em & Woody.)

Notice the Route number.

There were some “futuristic” scenes along the way.

Track in front is former Peoplemover/Rocket Rods; the one behind is monorail.

Autopia is another DL attraction we consider more superior than MK’s Speedway. It’s longer, much more picturesque, and the trees provide welcome shade!

Of course there’s still the typical backup to get to the unload zone!

I miss riding BTMRR at WDW and hope they make enough enhancements that we notice the difference because DL looks so much better! Wow, Astro Orbiter seems much better at loading and unloading at DL! Autopia is head and shoulders better at DL and I hope we get a redo on this ride soon too because the fumes are so bad at WDW.

Em made LL#6 as soon as we tapped into Autopia. No need to criss-cross the park this time!

(Fun Fact: Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters occupies the space of the former Rocket Rods queue, which was originally the CircleVision Theater.)

I was looking forward to this attraction. I remember how easy it was get a high score, thanks to the removable laser gun. It sure helped with my accuracy!

But I was sorely disappointed with my lowly Planetary Pilot score. While I've never had Galactic Hero status at MK, I've often been a Cosmic Commando (600,001-999,998). Em, a Space Scout, beat me today.

Hopefully the upcoming refurb of MK's Buzz will be an improvement over both current versions.

Cosmic Commando?!?!? You must teach me your ways
