Doing Disney with a Significant Other

Now, I haven't had enough significant others to count on more than one hand, and I've only gone once with a bf, but I feel like I know Disney well enough to be able to write this.

Some things that are more fun to do with a significant other than by yourself or with friends:
  • Mickey's Fun Wheel at DCA 
  • Eating at Blue Bayou or Carthay Circle (or other nice restaurant at the parks)
  • Any extreme ride where you get to hold his/her hand when you're "scared" (I.e. Haunted Mansion, California Screaming, Tower of Terror)
  • Any dark ride or location where you can be close (dark rides are great, like Little Mermaid)
  • Having someone to hold hands with.
  • See also: pros to going with friends. A SO is basically a friend, right?
  • See also video: Surprised my bf with a trip to DCA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsenkluPImA

Bad things. 
  • Nothing really that bad.

Doing Disney with Friends

[The original file where I wrote this post got corrupted and didn't save properly, I had to restart from memory. Might have left some of the good stuff out.]

A few months after I got my Annual Pass, I found out that my best friend has one too! We started going together very often. It ranged from going once a week to going once a month when we both started getting busy with school. Here are some pros and cons of going to Disney with friends. (Please keep in mind that this is my best friend, the experience might be different from going with a friend because the bond is much closer.)

Pros:

  • Sharing a magical experience together
  • Having someone to help finish a meal
  • Getting to try more than one item on the menu
  • Taking ride pictures are way more fun when you guys can collaborate on a theme
  • Someone to take a picture of you doing something silly instead of having to take a selfie
  • Someone to talk to in line (30min+ line, you need someone to talk to!)
  • Not sitting next to a stranger while on the ride
  • Having someone to drink with if you decide to take advantage of the alcoholic options at the parks. And having someone to drive you home as long as they don't drink
Cons:
  • When you don't like the same type of rides, you end up not going on the ones you like unless your friend(s) wait for you.
  • Going with odd numbers: You have to figure out how to split up and who you want to sit next to

Cancellations on The CW

I saw an article about cancelled shows on the CW network. Here are my thoughts.

Cancelled:

  • The Tomorrow People - I like the show and I'm happy with how it ended. I'm not sure what else they can add to it for the next season
  • Star Crossed - The season hasn't ended yet but I like the show. If the finale is good, I can deal with it ending. But if they give us a cliffhanger, I'll be pissed. Edit: Just watched the finale and it ends with them signalling the other Atrians out in space.....ugh
  • The Carrie Diaries - I don't even remember what happened in the previous episode. I think she decided to stay with her dad or something or another. Whatever..
Renewed:
  • Beauty and the Beast - I'd like to trade this show for Star-Crossed. I haven't watched this entire season!
  • Hart of Dixie - I love Rachel Bilson. Happy the show is still going to be on
  • The 100 - Interesting concept. It's based on a book right? Would definitely like to see the people come down on Earth and rebuild. Kinda like Wall-E 2
  • Arrow - YES! That's all I'm gonna say. But I'm two episodes behind..
  • The Vampire Diaries - I'm starting to think there's nothing else for them to do in terms of this show. Unless they bring on the Kitsunes
  • The Originals - Same as above
  • Supernatural - never watched it. idc
  • Reign - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show
New Shows:
  • The Flash - Hell yeah! This better be about Barry!
  • iZombie - WTF is this?

Doing Disney Solo

Going to Disneyland Solo

   I have had my Disney pass for almost a year and I have so many stories that I can tell. I will start with what it is like to go to the parks by myself and mention some of the pros and cons of it.

Things you can do if you go by yourself that you can't do with other people:
  • You can take your time to look at everything and take pictures of things that you see
  • You will notice more details about buildlings and you will discover new nooks and crannies of the parks
  • You can go on rides that your friends are too scared to go on
  • You can also go on single rider which is a million times faster than waiting in line with friends (although it gets lonely having no one to talk to)
  • You can eat whatever you want and not have to worry about burdening other people with your specific wants and needs
  • You can shop wherever you want
  • You might meet random strangers or people who recognize you and get to hang out with them
  • Being able to hang out at a charging station while you people watch (granted, my bf and I do that too while we eat or just sit)
   I guess the most important thing is that you can take things slow and steady and you can come and go as you please. I have gone so many times just by myself. I go into the park for a few hours, go on one or two rides that I like and just spend the rest of the time hanging out in an area I enjoy (mostly Mad T Party because of the music and the colors. There's also a charging station there!) I also have a lot of pictures of certain areas of the parks because of these solo trips. Sometimes I take a Canon camera with me and just go on one ride and take pictures of all the details that the imagineers put great detail to. [See BTMRR post: http://catlovesdisney.blogspot.com/2014/03/20140320-disney-visit-tradition.html]




Things that are less fun when you are by yourself:
  • Being lonely
  • Being bored
  • Having no one to talk to while in line
  • Not having anyone to show what you're seeing to. You'll just have to take pictures and remember to upload them
  • No one will help you finish your food or split a meal with you. You will just have to get smaller portions or take it to go
  • You feel like there's nothing left to do after awhile because all the other rides would be more fun with a friend 
  • Can't drink because there is no one to drive you home at the end of the night if you decide to take advantage of all the alcoholic offerings in California Adventures
