Well for the first time in a long time I actually have visited a park on a weekday which wasn't a holiday. I'm usualy there only on weekends or holidays. And I must say I enjoyed this very much. The park is barely packed at all. I went on Thursday, a day after I performed in the Candlelight Processional. Here's your update, enjoy!
-Trees near the Walt and Mickey statue are indeed gone. And the whole area looks different without them. It will give more viewing spots for Wishes though, so hey that's a good thing.
-When I rode The Haunted Mansion, the singing busts weren't working. There faces were just frozen, and no Grim, Grinning Ghosts could be heard from them either. Anyone shed some light on this?
-I went into The Yankee Trader, which is right outside HM, and the place is full of HM and NBC stuff. There was also a spot with some Pirates of the Caribbean stuff as well.
-Pirates of the Caribbean DVDs are on sale now at like every gift shop. They want $20.00 for the VHS, and $30.00 for the DVD! Crazy I tell you, I got my DVD at Circuit City for like $16.99.
-A NEW PIN HAS BEEN RELEASED! They released it on the 11th. It is a star with Mickey's face in the front, and the star lights up and twinkles. The man showed it to me at the pin cart in TL (BTW the reciepts say Geiger's Counter from there:lol: ). $15.00 though, and I'd rather have the Fantasmic one. And he also said it was the first pin in which you are able to replace the battery.
-Well, some PhilarMagic news here. My brother told me this. He said they were at PM, and they waited 45 min. cause the ride broke down, and then they said it was opening in 5 min., so they waited and then they said they had to test it, and minutes later they said they had to close it and they gave everyone free FastPasses to return. This is what he told me, and I believe he said it was around 1 PM. I rode at 10:30 and walked on, and everything worked fine. My hyopthesis for them having to close it is maybe something happened with the Donald AA.
-Lines on a typical December weekday-PhilarMagic the only thing we waited for was in the big blue room for them to open the doors, HM was walk-on, Pooh was 15 min, Peter Pan was 20, Buzz was walk-on, Space Mountain advertised 10 which became 25, Jungle Cruise was 20, Pirates was 5 min, Splash Mountain was an incredible WALK ON (hey, it was freezing, that's probably why no one was riding, but thats good for me and my friends, we rode twice), Big Thunder Mt. was 15 (we got FP's for it though, and rode Splash twice waiting to get on BTMR), and it's a small world was at 15. Everything was basically under 15 minutes. Just a very enjoyable time.
-I had a dirt cup at the Main St. Bakery, and man those things are SO GOOD. Y'all gotta try them!
Well that's all I have now. See ya on the boards!
