Yea yea yea, I know what you guys are gonna say. I just went yesterday, and did an update, and then went again the very next day. Actually, I was planning on staying home and relaxing all day. Then, my aunt comes over and invites all 3 of us kids to go to Disney. My brother, naturally, didn't wanna go, so my sister and I went. We went to Animal Kingdom for a short while. Not to much in this update, but a few small things...

--The missing piece that I reported yesterday on Triceratop Spin, has been replaced. The Dinosaurs were still in the up position. I could see, from up on Primeval Whirl, that part of the concrete on TS has been dug up. I hope this long rehab isn't just to redo the concrete, and not add any safety features to the ride...

--They now include a small "Magical Gatherings" plug in the Festival of the Lion King show.


--I picked up a "Create your own Magic" paper to get more information. Here is how you "Create your own Magic" (taken directly from the paper)...

"Create your own Magic" It's as easy as 1,2,3!

1)Locate a "Create your own Magic" Station area in select Disney merchandise shops within our parks, Resorts, and the Downtown Disney area.
2)Follow the simple "Create your own Magic" instructions to design, create and package your personalized magical designs!
3)Now, create your own magic in minutes!

What is a "Create your own Magic" station?
"Create your own Magic" stations are areas within a Disney merchandise shop which allow guests to design, create and package their own piece of the magic to take home

Where do I find "Create your own Magic" Stations?
"Create your own Magic" stations can be found throughout our parks, resorts, and the Downtown Disney area within many of our merchandise shops. Just look for the "Create your own Magic" logo wherever you go.

How much does it cost?
The Prices vary because you are creating you own piece of magic - make it as individual as you are!

And when you're through, you'll be happy knowing you created some Disney Magic at Walt Disney World."

My thoughts on the whole thing? Disney is WAY overusing the word "Magic" lol


--I was going to include this in the update yesterday, but decided not to. Im including it now because it happened to me again. 2 Times yesterday, on Dinosaur, our car stalled, but the soundtrack kept going, and it didn't make any sense. It did it today, but our car was stopped for a much longer time. It just bounced up and down for 5 minutes, while the soundtrack kept going. Once we started moving again, no sound effects. What WAS making a lot of noise was the Time Rover. Does anyone know the last time Dinosaur had a rehab, cuz I think one will be needed in the future.

--I believe I saw an Imagineer looking at the construction walls by the Tarzan Theater, where the new bridge will be. I can tell it was someone who doesn't normally work in the park, cause when he was asked for directions, he himself had to look at the map.

--That's it for the news, but here is the wait times:
Primeval Whirl went from 10 to 40 mins all day.
Dinosaur was 15 to 30 mins all day

and we really didnt venture into any other parts of the park, since we were only there from 1-30 til 5. It still was really busy though...

and something else to note. We stopped at Wal Mart on the way home, and I noticed that they were sold out of Lion King 1 1/2 movies and DVD's, aswell as the soundtrack. I didn't see any of either at Animal Kingdom either...

Anyways, there is your mini update for the day. Pictures up soon.

Cool update. I must say that you are very lucky to go to WDW every weekend and now even on days back to back. So when you create your own magic, what exactly do you create? Is it a pin or what? Let us know!

Another good update! I love reading them...I can almost smell the popcorn and feel the warm Florida sunshine :) (Even though it's supposed to snow here tonight! Grrrrr...I hate snow). That problem with Dinosaur is strange though. I always feel bad when a ride messes up and there's someone riding it for the very first time because I feel like they don't get the whole effect. I hope they get it fixed soon!

Two updates in a row...cool.

Off topic: I looked for you in the parks last weekend Patrick, but no luck. I did see someone that looked like you Monday at AK. Were you there by any chance?

Its happened to me too...its real weird, and takes away from the experience! I guess it shows how important the audio is to the ride.

And to everyone else about the "CYOM" thing...I guess you just make your own little charms and lil things to take home. You pick colors/sizes/characters...whatever

Looks like you may have been right about Lion King 1 1/2, everywhere I've been (given that hasn't been very many places) has been sold out. A theater release may have made mucho $$ for Disney. Oh well, thanks for yet another update :)
