It really is! I'm so glad we decided to skip sleeping and head to the parksIt looks worth while to do the EMH at Hollywood! There is so much detail in Galaxy Edge!
Thanks for joining!Can’t wait to read the rest
I will never turn down a suprise first class ticket! SWGE really impressed me.Joining in . Nice surprise with 1st class. Can not wait to see SWGE for myself.
Thank you!Enjoying the report so far.
The special security lines are so nice. I'd recommend giving yourself extra time if you have a morning flight right now, I've heard the morning lines are still terribleExcellent report on Galaxy’s Edge. Following along. I am about 35 minutes from MSP and am flying to MCO next month on Delta, also first class (I hate airports and love the priority treatment with lines).
Happy to have you along for the ride!following along!
We also went to the milk stand and DC and I each got the blue milk with rum (because vacation). I’d heard mixed reviews on this but I really liked it! I’d like to try the boozy green milk too but I was feeling it was a little early in the morning for tequila lol!
I actually enjoy tequila drinks more than rum so I'm hoping it's just as good! I've also heard there's coconut in the drinks, which I despise, so I hope the alcohol covers it up!I was nervous to try the milk too with all the mixed reviews I've heard/read. I also got the blue milk with rum and thought it was delicious! I'll definitely be trying the green milk with tequila on our next trip in December!
Kind of crazy to think that you're on a Disney bus that is standing room only before 6 am...We took the short walk to the bus stop and walked right on to a waiting bus. No seats available but we didn’t mind standing since we weren’t tired yet.
Gotta love the reliability of Disney IT.She said we hadn’t checked in to our hotel yet (but we had online) and she checked us in and got our tickets working. We also asked if our dining plan was up and running as well and she assured us everything was good to go. She also said we would get our room ready text during the day too.
Hmmm... this is what I'm afraid of. Some of the screen based attractions have this effect on me. Hopefully it doesn't bother me much. Some do, some don't. Glad it didn't bother her enough to ruin the day!DF gets motion sick and this ride didn’t work for her at all. She mostly stared at her console and didn’t look around. She was fine once it ended so at least it didn’t wreck her day!
As we were loading in to our elevator, the mom told him it was just a screen ride like everything at Universal.
Thanks!A few more Galaxy's Edge pictures, because I couldn't help myself!
Congratulations! I'm sure you'll be up to speed quickly!I've been offered a part time relief position at a veterinary clinic to cover a maternity leave for the next few months! I'm very excited but it's been over 5 years since I've worked with dogs and cats in this setting so I know there will be a learning curve.
After exiting, we started wandering a bit and ended up in Fantasyland when another cloud opened up over us so we ran in to It’s a Small World to stay dryish. I don’t think any of us really enjoy this ride but we make sure to do it once a trip.
Really, this is pretty spectacular. I'd be perfectly fine with a 2 or 3 pm park close every day if you can manage to park hop and accomplish as much as you did with such minimal waits.We had to stop at the loading area to wait for the train in front of us to go, which made this the longest wait of the day (besides Starbucks).
This just doesn't make sense. I mean, if there's a hurricane coming, wouldn't they want you to stay within the safety of your resort rather than venturing out in search of food?We unpacked a bit and chilled in our room, then went down to get our refillable mugs and something to drink. We all showered and around 6 we got a text that our dinner ADR was cancelled and all TS restaurants at WDW were now closed. Um, what?!
Seems like a good trade to me!DC also wanted to plan another TS meal since we hadn’t used our Chef Mickey’s credits, so we booked an early lunch at Garden Grill
I was not sad about this trade at all!Seems like a good trade to me!
Thanks for joining, you aren't late at all! Luckily I felt better fast!Hopping aboard a little late. Enjoying reading your TR so far and looking forward to reading more. Hope you felt better after this night .
It was so cool to see from our balcony and it was so loud! We actually got a little annoyed with it a few nights later when we were already asleep when it came by.I love your view of the water parade! This is one of my favorite things, it is so Disney!
It sure looks like low crowds continue for you all!
Following along!
This trip was like the holy grail of park crowds!Amazing to see MK so empty.
We are usually a go, go, go type of park people, although we did slow down a bit this trip. I had no idea what the water parade was before this night!It does sound like you got a lot done today!
I love the water parade! It is so relaxing to watch from a resort balcony!
No... you're ruining my illusions about this ride. It is ALWAYS closed at rope drop.We started walking towards Test Track and had planned to go single rider but as we got closer we thought it must be down because there was no one around it except a CM standing out front. She started waving us closer and I asked if it was running. She laughed and said go in, it was running but there was just no one there!
I'm glad you made it, but they seem to be pretty reasonable about things like this. It happens...We had a FP for Soarin next but it also only had a 5 minute wait and then we used a throw away FP for Figment. We had about 25 minutes until our Garden Grill ADR so we decided to try Spaceship Earth since it also had no wait. DC kept saying we were going to be late because the ride is SOOO long but I told her it would be fine. Of course, we ended up stuck on the ride back down for almost 10 minutes while CM’s kept going up and down the stairs next to us. The best laid plans…
Mental note - Need to go do Disney World during a hurricane.I think we waited about 20 minutes for Frozen in standby.
That really is frustrating and not very good from a guest service standpoint. I'm glad it didn't ruin your evening too much though that you weren't feeling well.CM kept coming and knocking to see if she could clean it yet to finish her shift. I mean, I understand wanting to go home but that stall was occupied! Trust me, I didn’t want to be there any more than she wanted me there!
Right?! And it had rained a LOT overnight, I just assumed it was down!No... you're ruining my illusions about this ride. It is ALWAYS closed at rope drop.
But only if it's a false alarm hurricaneMental note - Need to go do Disney World during a hurricane.
It was a little annoying but I'm sure her job isn't the greatest overall either. Definitely didn't destroy my evening, at this point issues like this are just part of my life!That really is frustrating and not very good from a guest service standpoint. I'm glad it didn't ruin your evening too much though that you weren't feeling well.
