Luigi's Flying Tires Flies Away from DCA

Yesterday marked the final day of operations for Luigi's Flying Tires in Disney California Adventure and the Disneyland Resort in California. Sadly, the ride met the same fate as the Flying Saucers ride that inspired it, closing after a relatively short run in the park. I only had a chance to ride the tires once, so I'll share my pictures from that day when I had the chance to visit DCA with some friends from the +Disneyana Fan Club.


I'm not sure how well the Luigi's tire hats sold, but they were hard to miss!

The queue for the attraction was cleverly themed.

I never did find anyplace that actually served these drinks.

A visiting celebrity left his mark.

The attraction seemed to be most entertaining when there were other people you knew, so you had someone to run into, and you never know who you would run into on the ride.

Grand Californian Room 4315

Pictures and videos of Disney's Wilderness Lodge Room 4315 from October 30 - November 2, 2012.

Before we get to the pictures, the first thing I noticed when examining the view from the hotel room was that the Disneyland monorail passes just underneath the balcony.  Here is a video showing what you can see from the room.

The shower at Disney's Grand Californian also featured an odd (to me) rotating shower head, so here's video of that (don't worry, there's nothing naughty here).

And now, let's get to the pictures from the hotel and my room.
