Hey Kids. I just got back from a wonderful week of Disney!
I am working on the trip report and will post it but wanted to share a few thing I noticed but they did not ruin my trip in the least...
First off, All of the parks look amazing! Everything looks clean and well maintained. (Except the one light bulb that was out on a chandelier over by the Pirates bathroom. I noticed it every day and laughed) For 5 days the mermaid projection was not working at Pirates but on Sunday (9/15) morning was working great.
Splash was looking great! Everything except that pesky wabbit and jumping fountains was working.
I did get a CM in trouble though. I have been using PhotoPass for years. I pre-pay each trip and we go 2-3 times a year. I have an old waterpark card with the blue rubber band and it works great. It hooks inside my sling bag and every PP CM has no problem using it........ Except the guy that was at Donald in Storybook Circus... He proceeded to tell me I had to use the new card and I "was" going to like it and refused to put my pictures on my existing card linked to my PP account. I could not use my old card, that just worked 2 minutes ago with Goofy. It was not RFID, it was the same type of card, just bigger and with a new picture on the front. I told the area manager and she was quite taken back. I was nice about it but she could tell I was not happy. She went as far as to say, she would be letting HR know about his behavior!... oops!
Over at Epcot, San Angel Inn was delicious as usual, so was the fish and chips quick service... The only thing I could find not working was the wave/splash effect on the Living Seas sign outside. (mine mine mine) The waterfall at Norway was lookin' good!
Kali and Everest were down most of the day on Thursday, Stitch must have caused havoc!
Our tour guide, Claire, on our 2 week safari was amazing! We had a giraffe and white rhino within 3 feet of the vehicle! woot woot! I had to tell the area manager how amazing she was!
Great Movie ride was boring this time, everything was working great, but it's time for a refresh... Our CM was sooooooo drab and just didn't want to be at work!
MNSSHP was incredible as usual and we got a pic with Maleficent and SOOO much candy. YAY ME!
I don't drink coffee so I could care less about Starbucks, but it sucked not being able to grab a bfast sammy in the morning there. We wandered aimlessly in search of morning food! I did not want a Starbucks muffin! We found nothing.
However, the buses ran SUPER slow a few times. Our buses at AKV were great, but we wanted to go to DTD from HS and the boats were shut down, so we hopped a bus over to POFQ and I had to call the front desk and have them notify Disney Transport because 70 people were waiting for a DTD bus for 65 minutes. I thought people were going to tip the bus over when it finally arrived. LOL
Overall, It was an amazing time as usual. Only 81 days till I go back!
