Passholders

Sometimes you can just tell who your fellow Disneyland Annual Passholders are.


Here's a guy I spotted in front of me in line at the recently opened (earlier this year) Jolly Holiday Cafe at Disneyland.

He had the other leg tattooed too. That's pretty intense. He's had them for decades he said.


The lines for food were particularly long around lunchtime yesterday. Apparently, all the cash registers went down Park-wide just as people were getting hungry. Have you ever heard of that happening? Slowly, we'd get word, "Two out of our six registers are up." Then finally, "We're back up." We never left the line since it'd be the same deal anywhere at Disneyland and DCA. The hotels? No one was sure but since they are Disney, the cast members assumed, "probably on the same system." I was tempted to call nearby Downtown Disney restos from line, but this tattooed guy kept me entertained with his body art. Anyway, what in Downtown Disney is worth eating? Seriously, if you know, please tell me. 


And here's what I ate

Jolly Holiday Salad. 
Get it? Because it was at the Mary Poppins themed resto? 
I mainly chose this for the name (I really would have preferred a sandwich). And I can do that because I know I'll be back soon to try the other stuff. No biggie. And the salad was fine. It looked small but was just the right size. Everyone was alarmed at the color of the raspberry vinaigrette (looked like cough syrup) but it tasted alright to me. I'm not usually a huge fan of tomatoes in my salad, but these were small, bite-size heirloom-ish ones. All in all, a nice diversion from my usual corndogs or veggie skewers or other foods on sticks choices. 
Also got a chocolate croissant but it got melty in the hot sun and didn't get a pic in time.

How much was it? Well, y'know... Disney-priced. [$8ish] Passholders get a discount, so don't forget to show your pass at the registers.
