SW continued

Our cruise around the world came to an end. We were ready for some dinner, and since it was our one and only night in MK, we knew we wanted CHH, despite the yack fest still being fresh in our memory. :hilarious:

I used mobile order and L just waited in the regular line. We both got the Shrimp & Fish Combo.

Most of the fish is hidden under the fries. Good as always! In terms of food, we’ve never had a bad experience at CHH, so that’s why we keep going back. For the amount you get, it’s probably one of the best bang-for-your-buck QS locations on the property.

We were fortunate enough to grab a window table upstairs.

Was hoping for a view overlooking HM and the Liberty Belle, but those tables were taken.

We were looking for FPs while we ate. L saw one for Space and asked if I wanted it. Of course I said yes. To make a long story short, L doesn’t enjoy Space as much as she used to. It really leaves her with a bad headache nowadays and she rarely rides it more than once.

I finished eating, swapped MBs with L, then headed towards Tomorrowland.

Couldn’t leave without taking a picture of my favorite trash can. I may or may not have gotten a few weird looks from the people at the table across from it. :hilarious:

The FP line was backed up outside but moved quickly once I got inside the queue.

Up next: Space Mountain!

Space continued

Told ya I’d redeem myself.

Still not sure what to make of the ball pit.

L was about to ride something when I got off, so I wandered around.

More of the speedway work.

Hello beautiful

I was able to secure a FP for HM, but it wasn’t good until another hour, so I went to see what wait times were like in the Adventureland/Frontierland area. Everything still had a fairly long wait (even Pirates and Carpets) except for Splash. I thought about getting in line, but the temperature was starting to drop and I really wasn’t up for getting cold and wet, so I didn’t. I made a stop at the Frontier Trading Post and looked around for a few minutes.

I came across this sign that I’d never notice before.

I thought it was pretty cool!

It was soon completely dark.

Up next: More MK

Captain Barbossa · Jun 24, 2019

MK continued

I met L in Liberty Square kinda between the exit for HoP and where they do the Muppets. We grabbed a couple of rocking chairs and returned MBs.

We discussed our game plan for the rest of the night. L had gotten a FP for Dumbo and was gonna ride that during the fireworks like she always does. I saw that Pirates had a 10min wait and decided to head over before my HM FP. L and I agreed that we’d meet back up after HEA.

Since I forgot to take a picture of Splash during the day, I decided to take one now, you know, because the lighting is so superb at night. :hilarious:

Next up: Pirates ☠

Captain Barbossa · Jun 24, 2019

MK continued

My FP window for HM was open after I got off Pirates, so I made my way over there next.

Not sure why I took a picture of the exit before I got in line. :hilarious:

Thinking of you @tonystark

Up next: More HM

I wish I was there right now!!!

pulled up the not so trusty MDE app to see that the wait time is... 25 minutes :bored:

I feel like I say that every hidden Mickey is my favorite :hilarious:

, but this one really is one of my favorites!

Up next: More HM

HM continued

I got off HM right at 9:15. In other words, HEA was starting. Normally, I don’t watch the fireworks at MK, but for some reason, I wanted to stop and watch them tonight.

Next up: More HEA

Finishing up HEA

End of POTC part

And with that, HEA was over. Like I said before, I don’t typically watch the fireworks at MK, but I’m glad that I watched them tonight. It was something different and I actually enjoyed the show. I still think Wishes was better, but then again, HEA does have Pirates.

Up next: More MK

Hey @Captain Barbossa, have you seen these yet (or do you already have this)?

MK continued

Ok I’ve made a mistake. You know how I said I rode Pirates before HM? Well I didn’t. I just came across the pictures I took on Pirates and the time stamp was right after HEA, which made sense. So disregard everything I said about riding Pirates before HM because apparently it didn’t happen. :hilarious:

So, after HEA, I went to go ride Pirates.

I noticed that the CotBP jolly roger is gone.

Not sure why they got rid of it.

Since I already posted the on ride PP picture, I’m not going to post it again.

After Pirates, L texted me asking if I wanted to meet at Sleepy Hollow. That was more than fine with me because I was ready for a snack. I can’t remember what L got, but I knew what I wanted to get months in advance.

Vanilla Ice Cream Churro Sandwich

Sorry for the crappy photo. (no lighting)

Alright, I’m not gonna lie, I was disappointed. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either. The churro was cold and the ice cream melted very quickly, which was a mess. It definitely was a letdown after all the hype that was built up. If I knew that it was gonna be mediocre, I would’ve waited and grabbed a sundae from the Plaza on the way out. Oh well.

Up next: More MK

Yes! I really want to get one! It’s ironic because they released these the week that the WDWRR went down back in December. :hilarious:

Captain Barbossa · Jun 28, 2019

MK continued

After Sleepy Hollow, we walked over to Frontierland.

Ok, so neither of us had ridden Big Thunder yet. Standby had been crazy long all day and FPs were scarce and whatever FPs that were available had bad times. We had checked the wait time on the app and it was 30mins, so we figured that we might as well get in line and that it would more than likely be less than a 30min wait. So we get to BTM and were greeted by CMs informing guests that it was down. Well something must’ve happened within 5mins because it was showing that it was up on the app. Anyways, we decided that we would check back later.

L hadn’t ridden HM yet and I wanted to ride it again. It was only a 20min wait so we hopped in line.

Love this shot of the Liberty Belle.

Kinda blurry, but the worklights at BTM just cut on.

I assumed they were starting ride evacs.

The posted 20min wait was more like a 5min wait.

After HM, we checked the status of BTM. Still down. CMs were now saying that the issue was “technical” and they weren’t sure if it will reopen. In other words, there’s only a little over an hour left of EMH and we don’t feel like putting forth the effort to bring it back up. :banghead:

We decided to head to Fantasyland but went through Adventureland first.

The carpets were a walk on.

Up next: More MK

Captain Barbossa · Jun 29, 2019

MK continued

After our flight over Agrabah, and seeing that BTM was still down, we continued on to Fantasyland, via the hub.

We walked through the castle. There were a lot of people inside and I wasn’t able to get a picture of the mural.

I love how you can see Main Street Station perfectly through the castle gate.

L wanted to ride Mermaid, so we headed in that direction.

No wait.

Up next: More Mermaid

Captain Barbossa · Jun 30, 2019

Mermaid continued

After Mermaid, we headed towards Tomorrowland.

Our plan was to ride TTA because L hadn’t ridden it yet. Well, we completely forgot that it doesn’t run during evening EMH. Needless to say, we were both disappointed when we got there and realized that it was closed. I honestly don’t understand why they close TTA and Splash during evening EMH.

We opted for Buzz instead.

Up next: More Buzz

Captain Barbossa · Jul 1, 2019

Buz continued

Not proud of my score...

...but it was better than L’s

Maybe one day I’ll finally get Galactic Hero. :angelic:

In all honesty, I’m waaaay better at Toy Story Mania than Buzz. Maybe I should start going back to DHS. :hilarious:

It was 11:40 when we got off Buzz. In other words, there was time for one more ride. :cry:

L went to go ride the teacups or Pooh.

Most of y’all know that I like to end my nights at MK on Space, so that’s obviously where I was headed, right? Well, no. Yours truly broke tradition tonight. :jawdrop:

(what?!) As much as I wanted to ride Space again, I was very tired and the wait time said 40mins. Was it actually 40mins? Probably not, but I didn’t feel like finding out. Something inside of me was wanting to ride Pirates one more time, so I told Tomorrowland goodbye and was off to Adventureland.

This is one of my favorite pictures from the trip.

Sorry I didn’t see ya this trip, but I’m glad to know that you and the bears are off the chopping block! (for now)

Ok, so this picture absolutely backfired. :hilarious:

So there was a bit of a traffic jam at the drop. The 2 boats ahead of us, which were empty, stopped for a minute which threw off the timing with the camera. It actually took our picture twice but this is the one that showed up on my account. I’m not sure if this was the 1st or 2nd picture but it looks like I was going for my Tiger Rag so I’m gonna say that it was the 1st one, which was early and unexpected.
