1/17-2013 Trip Report

So, no pictures as I was at the Magic Kingdom for just one day and I forgot my camera. I am approaching this from a Pros/Cons point of view.

Pros: The park was clean and pleasant as ever, though crowded. Still, Touring Plans pegged the crowds perfectly and I knew what to expect. All the rides were great and it was an awesome day. New FLE was very enjoyable from seeing everything. I liked LM and I know that many do not. I just didn't have any problems with it. It was fun, the songs were fun, and the setting is unbelievable. The rockwork is great. The light packages for everything is similarly wonderful. Dueling Dumbos at night are awesome. Jungle Cruise at night was fun as I had only rode it during the daytime.

Cons: Couple things. First, I LOATHE Fast Pass (though I used it once for LM as it had an 80 minute wait). I got in line for Pooh with a 20 minute wait posted. I then stood in one spot for 20 minutes while Fast Pass holders were processed through. Total time was closer to 50 minutes. It was asinine!! Second, the forced perspective didn't work for me with regards to the Beast's Castle. It clooks like a miniature and not that it is far away. Third, Crowd management during Wishes could be better. They need to set up some walking lanes as I saw one poor lady pushing her child's stroller with no success at getting through. No one would move or try to help her. Fourth and final point, NOT a fan of the mermaids in POTC. Hated them. They ruined one of my favorite areas. I much preferred the old music and appearance of the caverns.

Overall, I had a great time as usual. It's hard not to have fun at the MK. In fact, you pretty much have to go in not wanting to have fun.
