Last-minute
inspiration, ACTIVATE!
I'm
not joking about the above, by the way. I didn't have any idea what
to write about this week until...sometime around mid-day on Friday.
Yeah. But then I remembered that we just had the Lunar New Year,
which has become a bona-fide Thing at the Disneyland Resort in recent
years. The “official” celebrations can be found in California
Adventure, where all the cool kids go for their multicultural fix,
but this installment of Unauthorized
Fun
takes place on the other side of the Esplanade.
It's
not because of Disneyland favoritism...at least, not entirely. It's
mainly because there are just more animals over there.
The
concept behind this unofficial tour is pretty simple: Cycle through
the entire Eastern Zodiac by seeing a Disneyland attraction for each
animal...one where said animal shows up, in case that wasn't clear.
Just to keep things interesting, I decided to see if I could find a
different
attraction for each, because honestly? You
could check off practically the entire list from “it's a small
world” alone, and while that might be fun for me, because I adore
that ride...most people are going to start squirming around halfway
through the second go-around.
Since
we just embarked upon the Year of the Dog, I'll set things up so we
end there. Here's what I came up with!
