Trip Report “Excuse me ma’am, can you put your phone away? Snow White doesn’t like apples” March 2019 *COMPLETED*

Sadly, I’ve been back in the real world for 4 days, but I’m glad to say that it was a great trip! Different, but still great. Surprisingly, the Disney depression is not very high (not sure if that’s a good thing ), but I don’t want to take any risks, so let’s get this TR started!

For those of you who are just joining, I’d like to say welcome and feel free to read my PTR for background info.

Pre-Trip - Birthday, spring break, R.I.P. IllumiNations

So this happened today. :joyfull::joyfull::joyfull::joyfull::joyfull::joyfull::joyfull::joyfull::joyfull: More details including the who, when, and where to follow soon!

Before I start, I want to warn everyone that I only have a month left before the semester is over. With that being said, the next 4 weeks might get extremely busy and I may not have a lot of time to post, so please bear with me. I don’t want to drag this TR out like I did with the last one, but I make no promises.

I was sooo excited!

I was wondering what he was doing out on the mainline, but then I saw Kaitlyn and a few guests and I realized that it was for TMBOSTT. I knew they were still giving the tour despite the WDWRR being closed, but what I didn’t know was that they would fire up Roy and pick up the tour from Fantasyland station. If I had known that, I totally would’ve done it again.

Anyways, Kaitlyn and her group had left, so it was time for Roy to head back to the roundhouse.

So awesome that you got to see Roy rolling....

Has the ride gotten any better on Space, or should I keep seeing my chiropractor in anticipation of riding it again?

Still loving the pics!

I mean it’s still jerky but that has never really bothered me. Imo, the jerkiness makes it more fun. Honestly, the seats are pretty comfortable and it’s really not too bad. The whole being in the dark thing can also mess with your mind and make you think that it’s worse than it really is.

I can deal with the jerkiness too - it just seems last time I rode (granted 3 years ago), the overall smoothness of the track wasn't there any more and some areas were quite bone-jarring...

Perhaps it's time to give it another try!

I will have to say that some of the break-runs aren’t very smooth.

Sigh . . . there's just something about a vintage steam locomotive in motion . . . (Loving your photos!!!)

I was bummed last year because Roy was down and wasn’t running, so this definitely put a smile on my face! And, I thought I wouldn’t see steam operate again on the WDWRR until 2020 at the earliest. My day had been made!

I left Storybook Circus and headed to Fantasyland.

Under the Sea had a 5min wait.

Hidden Mickey?

I was literally the only person in line and walked right on.

I really don’t understand why some people dedicate their lives to hating this ride.

Maybe it’s because their pictures turn out bad, like mine.

After Mermaid, I made my way to Frontierland to meet L.

I’d never read the plaque before.

Under the Sea -- I rode on it once, and found it somewhat underwhelming. However, if it's a walk-on, I'd go again. (I just wouldn't wait in a line for it.)

Getting through Fantasyland was a pain, as it was for most of the day.

While passing through Liberty Square, I got excited when I saw something that was absent during last years trip.

The Liberty Belle!

She looks great! But...

...I absolutely hate the new whistle! It’s sooo annoyingly high pitched and loud. Half of the time it didn’t even function properly. It belongs on a tugboat, not a riverboat. Bring back the old whistle I say!

I met L between Big Thunder and Splash. Despite it being an hour after rope drop, Splash only had a 10min wait, so we got in line.

Ok y’all, I really do like the Ziplocs! I know Disney took some backlash when they introduced these because it came a week or two after the plastic bag announcement, but I think it’s a smart idea. I was able to fit my phone, wallet, map, and sunglasses inside with room to spare! Also, they’re a neat little souvenir.

We were actually on in less than 10mins. I forgot to take a picture of the marker, but we were in row 1.

Hidden Mickey?

YES!

It’s funny because it is so true.

I think this bandanna has seen its better days.

Nice save on the Tiger rag (with a little help, I noticed)!

 

[Captain Barbossa]

Splash continued

After Splash, it was time for our 1st FP of the day, PPF, so we headed back to Fantasyland.

The FP line was INSANE! It was almost backed up to the entrance for PhilharMagic! And to make matters worse, half of the people in line didn’t even have FPs! We finally made it on after waiting close to 30mins.

We were both hungry and ready for a late breakfast after Peter Pan.

This is becoming one of my favorites.

They had the window on the side open so you could smell the waffles cooking. Needless to say, they smelled sooo good!

Originally, I was going to go with the fruit and Nutella waffle sandwich, but at the last second, I decided that I didn’t want something sweet, so I went with the Breakfast Egg and Cheese Waffle Sandwich served with Ham and Tomatoes.

It was absolutely fantastic! Big too. The tomatoes were especially good despite not being in season. (Maybe they came from the Land?) Might just be the best QS breakfast item that I’ve ever eaten. I highly recommend it and definitely plan on getting it again!

L got the Mickey waffle with powdered sugar, which also looked really good. We grabbed a table outside of the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe and just at the right time because The Muppets Present Great Moments in American History was about to start. (I’d never seen it before)

It was the Declaration of Independence version.

I really enjoyed the show! So glad I finally got to see it!

We finished our breakfast and headed back to Frontierland for FP #2.

That's an item on the food bucket list for (whenever I get to go to WDW again). I may not be able to go for quite some time, so I hope they don't do something stupid like remove it from the menu -- when I finally get there?!!

It was sooo good! They stop serving them at 12pm, so make sure you get it in the morning.

It was time for round 2 of Splash.

I know the picture isn’t the greatest, but can anyone spot the hidden Mickey?

This one is kind of easy.

This turned out to be our last ride on Splash. The weather didn’t warm up a whole lot and neither of us really felt like getting wet for a 3rd time. However, I most likely would’ve ridden it again during EMH if it was opened because I love to ride Splash at night.

We headed to Grizzly Hall next and paid some of my favorite bears a visit.

Up next: CBJ!

 

[Captain Barbossa]

CBJ

After CBJ, we walked back to LS. L was dying to see Mary Poppins, so she got in line to meet her. I decided to wander around while she was in line.

Old news, but they were in the process of draining the moat.

These ducks didn’t seem to mind!

It’s hard to see, but there were some people at Club 33.
