The Golden Zephyr (which I never went on while I was down there either because I had no desire to or the light wind conditions closed it down) from the Jumpin' Jellyfish attraction

Hook's Pointe and Wine Cellar restaurant at the Disneyland Hotel (other then the incident when we first arrived where a sign claimed it was closed when it actually wasn't, this was quick service and dazzling food, except the blue cheese with the salad, of course)



The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (took off for an evening of rides at the Magic Kingdom as soon as dinner was over with)





Photographs taken inside the Indiana Jones Adventure attraction where I was stuck for one hour and thirty minutes that evening, once for thirty minutes and another time for nearly an hour ...





The second time the attraction broke down (after the first mechanical failure, they allowed everyone to ride again believing they had fixed the problem), it was right before the segment with the giant boulder



The EMV vehicle right in front of ours as we evacuate the attraction ...



Since they had Grad Nite going on that evening, the park closed up early and we had to be immediately ushered out of the theme park. My only complaint about the ordeal was that there was a severe lack of organization when it came to communication between cast members and the guests when the attraction kept breaking down.
