Arielcon Pacifica 2005 -- Day 2

Oct. 23rd, 2005 at 8:03 PM

OK, here's our pictures from Day 2 of Arielcon Pacifica 2005. We were not there for Day 1, but you can see some pics (including the great marquee at El Capitan) here.

We saw this little girl dressed like Ariel while in line for California Adventure. I decided she was a good omen! We had arrived early and already visited Disneyland to ride Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters before Arielcon started...

The Arielholics gather...

Guest of Honor Philo Barnhart drawing.

Waiting to see Crush in Turtle Talk. I included it because I think it's a great picture of my sweetie Beth (on the right)!

Philo and Arielholics drawing animated sequences to be played in the zoetropes.

The sign at Ariel's Grotto, where we ate lunch and met Ariel (and some other princesses) and got our goodie bags.

Belle and Flounder

The group picture with Ariel at lunch!

Ariel & Flounder! (I didn't get a picture of just me and Ariel because she didn't stay long enough.)

Snow White & Flounder

Cinderella and Flounder

Jasmine & Flounder

After lunch, Arielcon broke up for the day. So Beth & I went and saw Aladdin, and rode Tower of Terror, then went back to Disneyland to see the fireworks. After the fireworks, we were able to ride Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion Holiday -- and then ride the last train out at midnight!

Wait a minute . . .

How did Ariel's pink dress turn blue? Did she put it in with the wrong wash?

It's not blue, it's sea green! But it's not the pink dress dyed -- now that Ariel got her restaurant job, she can afford a new dress. It has the same pattern as the pink dress because the same taylor made it.

OK, I'm done making stuff up now...

I was actually thinking, you know, they gave her a dress that wasnt in the movie at all, how cool! Because you know, Ariel shouldnt be wearing the same dress all the time.

Very cool, thanks for posting pics!

And....I'm so jealous. I've been dying to go to disneyland. We had passes for a few years but couldn't get them this last year. Was Space Mountain a lot differenet? They've been working on it two years...

The sound in Space Mountian was much improved, but I didn't notice a lot of difference in the looks

Aw I wish I could've been there. Glad you had a good time :)

Haha is it just me, or am I the only one who thinks that none of the people playing the princesses look right, except for Cinderella?

Yeah obviously, but it just seems like they could've found people that looked closer to what the princesses look like.

I agree, although I think Snow looks like Snow...but the rest, not as much. I did once see a Jasmin that looked EXACTLY like Jasmine should.
