ISTCrew's July 21st WDW Update

So...Its the day after my Birthday...whats a kid to do, other than...Go to WDW.


--My morning got off to a rocky start (I'll go into this later if you guys would like to hear the story)...as always, I do a walk thru of the Marketplace. 2 New stores are being added, "Earl Of Sandwich"...and "Goofy's Candy Shoppe"...in the building right by "Once upon a Toy", and "Pin Traders"......

--So, I took the boat from WL over to the MK. All I did there was Splash and Pirates. Let me tell you, after seeing the movie, I have a completely new respect for the work put into that attraction. Even though, everything is flip-flopped in the oppisite order. Keep an eye out, you'll see the dude with the fake eye:D

--As I left the MK, I walked over to the monorail to the TTC, to find it was closed to guests wanting to go back on the "Express Monorail", and had a sign saying "Use Resort Monorail".


--I got to Epcot at 11:30 I think. MS opened at 1 today with a huge crowd. Some interesting MS observations:

-I got to see the second doubleback of the queue. It goes down, and curves left. At the end, theres a tree, and if you look right, you'll see overflow queue....ALOT of it. I once thought MS had a very small queue, but its got to be one of the largest on property.

-I got to try out Fuge Red today. Best one, and it smells SO good in the Fuge's entrance hallway. I also noticed that the seat rumbles in the Fuge Red also.

-Actually, I did all 3 today, 1 gold, 1 blue, 2 red. Its always blue that makes me sick though.

-*BREAKING NEWS FROM ISTCREW*....Imagineers still have a sense of humor....While in Fuge Red, I sat down, and, being my nosy self, was looking everywhere. Theres a small silver panel with a bunch of space mumbo jumbo on it, right beside the joystick...Well, inside the mess, I found the words "RUM FARTS"...and "RED SLOB"...I thought it was pretty funny.

-I did single rider 3 times today. In my opinion, it doesnt work all to well on this attraction. I'd say a good average is 2 people per briefing room (2 people about every 2 minutes).

-I also got to hear the MS theme song, and I really, really liked it. The lyrics were cheap, but good. The meledy was somewhere along the lines of "Hand in Hand"...The song may very well be called "Wings of a Hero", cause thats what she kept saying.

-The last time I went on today, we got our final CAPCOM instructions (in the Fuge hallway), and then, a CM came on the intercom, and announced technical difficulties. All the people were directed off, and put into another fuge. A cm came in from the outside hallway, and asked (to another cm) "Did they experience the spin?"...the other cm said "Yes", and the guy was like "Then we gotta get em out of there"...So, the lady came by, told us to sit on our numbers, and she would cycle the ride through, passengerless, and it should be another 4 minutes. Well, that turned into 15, cause she tried restarting it twice, and it shut down both times. The third time, it worked, and I walked over to the exit doors, and peeked through the crack. I saw the fuge spinning, and something I found interesting, the floor drops out. what the bottom of your pod is spinning in is a concrete pit. So, after I was on, and restraned, I decided, since it was my last ride, That I was gonna get sick. Looking side to side doesnt do it as bad as looking up does. I looked up for entry into Mars, and I have an oober bad headache now.

-Postcards From Space werent working today:cry:

-And, for my last little update, They were working on the "Wonders Of Life" Roof.

Thats it for today, going to the parks again thursday, so look for my next update then. Pics will be up soon. (And if you wanna hear what happend this morning, just say you do, I'll post it)

:wave: Bye

Is it a smellitzer? Because I remember M:S smelling like a hotel a few weeks ago.

I think a reception guest...LOL...It was more "generic," almost like new shoes...but more like a hotel...:lol:

I know, hard to explain. Perhaps they should put a smellitzer in there. Loranges? LOL, I don't think so! :p

Ok....I was at DTD this morning...I walked into the bus circle, and I saw a lady sitting, waiting for a bus, at the WL stop. Since I always go to WL, I went and sat on the bench. She, imediately, got up, and she was like "F*** that" and went and stood by the Coronado stop. I was thinking to myself "What the heck got in her pants"...so 10 minutes go by, she comes back, and sits on the bench facing the oppisite direction of mine, but the backs touching. She starts talking out loud saying "Back In Long Island"..and I stopped here right there, I was like "Are you talking to me" (but in a nice way). And she was like "This country has been taken over, where Black was, white is, stupid -------------".....and I was all like "What are you talking about, I didnt do anything to you, so what is your problem".....so she shut up, we got on the bus to WL. The bus driver was African American *(side note- Im caucasion, not white, my very best friend is African American, not black, so throughout this, you'll see me typing what she said, some things i never would)*, And she was saying some *choice* things, to which, he ignored...So, we get to WL, I stand up, getting ready to get off the bus, and the driver opens the door, I thank him, and she goes "He dont mean that, none of them mean that" to which, I stuck up a certain finger:lookaroun ....Ok, you wanna know the kicker to this little story?

She was a Disney Castmember.....Yep, worked in the kitchen at Roaring Fork. She didnt have a nametag on though, but if she did, WDW would have a long complaint letter.

Did it look fast? Its hard to imagine how 32mph looks in person! Did you see any of the pods moving around on the arms of the centrifuge? Was it noisy?

It was moving quite fast, and i think the part i saw was the asteriod field part. I guess it really does spin the entire time. I might include, it was Fuge Red that was having the problems

:mad: That's a TERRIBLE story. It's bad enough that people feel as she does, but even worse that they feel comfortable enough to say it out loud to strangers!!! Hopefully the next time you see her, she'll have her name tag on. :mad:
