9900

On Monday, I needed 22 rides on Radiator Springs Racers to reach the 9900 mark. Disney California Adventure looked like it could be crowded today. The lines to get into the park were long. Today will

also be a battle with the heat. It is supposed to reach 100 degrees today. At  9 am it was 76 degrees.

I arrived at Racers at 9:02am. Let’s see how the day went.

By 10:14am , I was on 5 times. The temperature was 93 degrees. I get the weather from the Weather Channel. They have a page for the Disneyland Resort. I got a selfie with Meli after the 5th ride.

I got in the car for the 6th ride, and the ride went down. Carlos (Racers Cast Member) blamed me. The bad car was in the caverns, after the race. It took 12 minutes to get the ride going again. 

At 11:43am, I took my first break. I had 10 rides for the day and a total of 9888. I went by to see my friend Amanda. She was working at The Studio Store. She was feeling a little under the weather but still took a selfie with me. I also saw Sarah at Guardians and got a photo with her. 

Back at Racers at 12:09pm. The ride was just coming back up after another single car fault. The temperature is now 101 degrees.

The ride went down again from 12:49 to 12:54pm. 

I got 7 more rides by 2:14pm. That put me at 9895. The temperature is now 102 degrees. I took a short break.

Then at 3:39pm, another milestone was hit. Ride number 9900. It was special because I was able to ride with some new friends that just happened to be in the regular line. They wanted to ride. I waited for them at Single Rider grouping. And we won the race in Purple 2 on Ramone’s side of the track. 

Still going for the rest of the day. Taking pictures with my Racers friends. I ended the day at 9910. With a total of 32 rides for the day. Only 90 to go. Still aiming for Monday November 13th for the 10,000th ride.

Join Me For My 10,000th Ride on Radiator Springs Racers!

9800

Monday, I needed 29 rides to reach 9800, on Radiator Springs Racers. 

I got to the attraction at 8:03am. Not much of a crowd in the single rider line. Got 4 rides in by 9am.  Four more rides by 10:05am. That put me at a ride total of 9779. The single rider line got a bit more crowded. Two more rides and at 9781, when I took my first break at 10:50am. Back in line at 10:56am. 

Three more rides. At 9784. About to be loaded for ride 9785 when the ride went down. It was a Power hit to the whole park.  This was at 12:15pm.

Several rides went down. Screamin, Soarin, Grizzly and Toy Story, to name a few. I waited it out in line.  The ride came back up at 1:15pm. I was actually in the first car out of the station. 

I was able to get 5 more rides and reach 9790 at 4:15pm. The single rider line was now a 30 minute or more wait. One more ride to hit 9791. I then took a 6 minute break. My last for the day. 

From 5:05pm until 9:22pm, I got in 8 more rides. That was 28 rides for the day. My total was now at 9799. I could of reached 9800. But I was saving the ride for some special friends. 

I waited until Tuesday to hit 9800, so I could ride with my friends Rachel, Emerson and Lindsay. They were visiting from Florida. I met these 3 girls when I visited Test Track at Epcot, in Florida. They are Test Track Technicians. Emerson had heard of me. She did a Disney internship at Disneyland before moving to Florida. I got on Test Track 25 times when I was there in April. Word spread fast about my adventures at Racers. I even made a couple of signs for my rides on Test Track. By the end of the night they let me get on the ride without waiting in line. And Rachel and Emerson gave me the ride photo for lap 25. They even put me in the car by myself for that 25th ride.

I met Rachel and Emerson at Racers Fastpass at 8:34am. We got a Fastpass for 11:50am. 

We walked over to Screamin. I took pictures as Emerson and Rachel went on the ride. We then met up with Lindsay. I gave them some cookies I baked for them. The 4 of us went on the Swinging Mickey’s Fun Wheel. Lindsay and Rachel’s first time. They got a little scared. Then I watched again as the 3 of them went on Screamin. We  came into Carsland. We got on Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree. Stopped by Sarge’s to say hi to my friend Amanda. We then went on Luigi’s with a Halloween song. Pretty cool. 

The 4 of us went over to Racers and we got in car 9800. I sat in the back row with Emerson. Lindsay and Rachel were in the front row. At 11:33am, we crossed the finish line for my 9800th time. It was Lindsay and Rachel’s first ride ever. Pretty special. So glad I was able to share this milestone ride with them. I told them I’m coming to Disney World in January to try and reach 100 times on Test Track. They said I should have no problem reaching that goal. 

I then got photos with my friends and even got a photo with Super Lightning McQueen. The post milestone photos have always been special to me. The crew is so nice to allow me to get selfies with them. 

I finished the day at 9814. Only 186 to go.
