Trip Report A Day (or 4) at the Races

Good morning from the World! It’s a big foggy here at the Boardwalk this morning

Just a couple minutes before the Deli has our breakfast ready so I figured I’d get this thing started!

Flew in last night and we were delighted to have a flight that was on time and happened… and free (see our last report for those details). No 5k today, just 10k for all of us tomorrow and the girls will do the half marathon on Sunday. But now it’s time to eat!!

Have fun at the races and I’m glad you didn’t have problems with your flights!

Breakfast looks delicious! Good luck with the races! Following

Can’t forget where we parked.

Especially since it’s a rental and I’ve already forgotten what it looks like.

Have fun & good luck to you all!! Glad there were no flight issues this time!!
A foggy Boardwalk is better than a foggy Pittsburgh!!

 

[brifraz]

Still a bit foggy.

The girls are bit ahead of me as they are rope dropping Space Mountain.

Me? Yeah. That’s right. This guy is awesome sauce. Rope dropping the Peoplemover.

This is actually a really neat picture. When I first looked at it I didn’t see the castle. Pretty cool!!

 

[brifraz]

Peoplemover was down so I had to move to plan B… or was it Plan Z.

Took some work, but I did finally get to face off against Zurg himself.

 

[brifraz]

And by the time I got off…

And the fog is lifting.

Have fun and good luck to all of you on your races!

Tron!

And here’s the girls on Space Mountain

 

[brifraz]

The girls finished Space right as I wrapped up my tour on the Peoplemover so we crossed the park together to hit Jungle Cruise at 9am, normal park opening.

But the line was already showing 50 minutes and Big Thunder (our plan B) had the line across the bridge so we bailed on that as well. To the Haunted Mansion!

It was also showing 40 minutes, but not took 10. And we had a good pause for some pictures.

And Big Thunder is now showing 35 minutes so we are going for it.

 

[brifraz]

Lots of construction noises coming from the neighboring mountain. It looks like they might be updating that ride?

(Sarcasm… no debates allowed!!)

 

[brifraz]

It is the wildest ride in the wilderness, after all. Little worried about the growth coming out of my daughters head.

Pirates was now up to 40 minutes so we decided to ride the train (for the first time in forever).

Not sure why there was a conductor party going on?

Tron!!

 

[cgersic]

Oh my gosh!!! Train (not Tron!) photos!!!! That makes me way more excited than it should!!

 

[RememberWhen]

Have an awesome trip and enjoy the races!

Evidently it was a morning for transportation as we decided to head to Poly to grab a quick lunch.

Not real happy about this construction. We were definitely Luau fans.

Did the ultimate mobile order plan. Got the last breakfast window (10:30-11) window for Tonga Toast and breakfast potatoes and the first lunch (11-11:30) for pulled pork nachos.

Oh, and there’s a 50th Dole Whip cupcake in there, too.

Time to head to the Expo and get our bibs and some race swag.

Best of luck with the races!

That Poly food is looking very tasty!
