Greetings!

Well, been quite a week. Went to the Park on Tuesday and the first chance to write a trip report is Friday. I had a great time (as usual.) I met up with XFKirsten and we just had a relaxing time.

First off, crowds are decreasing. I wouldn’t say empty but definitely smaller then a week ago. Made it nice after large crowds all summer (and before)

It was a 4 show Tuesday for us – Snow White Musical (since it is going on a break soon), Parade of Dreams (needed Ariel Show Stop for my video which is now done), Remember..Dreams Come True, and Fastasmic. The result – almost filled 3 – 1 GIG memory cards

Lots of pictures can be found by clicking on this line.

There are 22 new wall papers by clicking on this sentence

And as I mentioned above, my new multi-edit of Parade of Dreams is available by clicking on this sentence. My video goes through the entire Parade and then finished with the Show Stop – and clips of all show stops are in the video.

Remember was quite unusual in the fact we got to sit. I mean the entire hub from close to Tomorrowland, across the Castle, and towards the Frontierland side – all of us sitting down. Wow, that was so unusual to have such a large area sitting.

Fastpass was down. One CM said it was a virus. But we learned something with the entire system being down…

I am a big proponent of FP. I like what it does. I have heard the anti arguments and have ignored them. But – wow – I am not so sure now. We walked out of HM one time and the Splash line was all the way to the HM exit. Now, on any given day a line that long easily hits 180 minutes. Without FP the line was only 45 minutes – whoa, what a difference. Space Mtn, in the middle of the afternoon which typically hits 150 minutes hovered at 60-75. Hmm, very interesting indeed.

Oh, and one final word, beware of Pizza Port when the day is lighter then anticipated. I had some Penne and I paid for it for the next several hours. XFKirsten even mentioned her spaghetti was a bit crunchy.

Anyway, that is all for now. I hope you enjoyed this mini-report and enjoy the new pictures, wall papers, and video.

Oh, here are a few pictures (from the wallpaper link) to tease you with.

Great report, and great photos! Those Fantasmic shots came out well! :)

I wish Space Mountain would be without FP every day! :lol:

I'm sure you have a GREAT trip report there, but I will have to read it again later when I can concentrate more. My mind froze when I got to the line:

"Snow White Musical (since it is going on a break soon)"

YIKES!!!!!!!

What's up with that?????
Do you have any specifics? Seriously, I am taking a person there next month whose main interest is really seeing that show! This is the first I've heard of a break.

Any details or specifics would be greatly appreciated!

:eek:

News broke a couple of weeks ago that it (along with the Electrical Parade) is scheduled to go on a 9-month hiatus after Labor Day. A check of the Entertainment Schedule confirms it so far. :(

OUCH! :eek:

9 months????
That seems far too long a time to go without 2 major crowd pleasers!!!

Thanks for the info and please keep us updated!

I guess with the group I'm taking....the only reason to even go over to CA at all now without the Electrical Parade will be for the Aladdin show........(sigh)...........

Thanks for the scoop, Kirsten! :wave:

P.S. What will all those performers do???? Sound slike some layoffs on the way! :mad:

Well....Snow White and Electric Light Parade are off the September schedule already.

Also...Haunted Mansion Holiday changeover will cause that attraction to be closed, as well as California Screamin' refurb at the same time.

Good thing there's plenty more to do and see!!! :lol:

Also...appy to see the parks staying open late (midnite) on Saturday with 2 Fantasmic showings! That eases the pain!

:wave:
