Pirrrrrate day

Today we had an actual pirrrrrrate day.

Driving to Disneyland


Cap'n Jack greeted us at the tram stop


We had lunch deep in the jungles of the Rainforest (Cafe, that is)




They have a couple huge aquariums there. Not quite as impressive as the aquariums at Atlantis, but you don't have to go to the bowels of the Bahamas to see them







We FINALLY got to see "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" at Downtown Disney


Tim's big head... I have no idea where we were at this point.


From there, we took the Monorail from Downtown Disney straight into the park


Space Mountain from the Monorail


Disney does L.A. traffic


Not much progress has been made on the Nemo ride


Our Pirrrrrrate Adventure continues at The Blue Bayou for dinner. The only sit-down restaurant in Disneyland (save for Club 33), right on the water of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride


Treasure in the lobby


Waiting for rolls


We got pirrrrate themed desserts. Tim ordered the cookie boat, while I had the creme brulee trio. Can you spot the Mickey head?


I got a plastic treasure chest with two gold dubloons


We got out of dinner just in time for the fireworks spectacular




FINALLY we made it onto the newly renovated "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride


Squawk! Walk the plank!


Not pirrrrate themed, but we couldn't pass up the Haunted Mansion



Even Fantasmic has pirrrrrates


On our way to Zanzibar... or just onto the Jungle Cruise


Before we got on the road, Tim needed a pit stop. I snapped photos of the parking structure and tram loading/unloading zone




The drive home



Only in Los Angeles can you hit gridlock traffic at 12:30 AM
