About this episode

Kayla Shawley revisits the LAX Marriott with her boyfriend, sharing experiences of rides, food, and wait times.

pen, now, for about a year, and I thougth it would be fun to take another look, taking my boyfriend along. The rides are just as fun as I remember them, and the food was still excellent. A new location since my last visit was the Blue Dragon, with Asian-inspired cuisine and sake- or japanese whisky-infused cocktails and flights, which was also excellent. We did have a long wait for Donkey Kong Minecart Madness, but even dispite an extended wait we were able to fit in everything that we wanted to experience in just one day. The ride does offer a unique experience, however that does come at the cost of increased downtimes. Is it worth it? Brian certainly thinks so, but your party may be better off being a little more stratigic in choosing their experiences if you encounter longer than normal wait times.
