I guess I'm not used to how the trip reports are done here so I'm going to do mine a different way, props/slops style.....
PROPS
--(NYE/NYD) First and foremost props to me for picking the worst time of the year to go up and ride rids :shrug:
--(NYE) Big up's to the DJ and playing it throughout the park. Nothing was better then being in line while EVERYONE was singing and dancing. It really put the whip cream on the happiest place on earth.
--(NYE) Props to these 3 kids we met in line of Space Mountain, who were a lil hyper, but still, something that raises you up a notch to keep you going on new years. I've never heard of anyone being scared of going on SM, especially some dude in high school!
--(NYE) Disney for letting us use our FP's from Splash Mountain on space mountain.
--(NYD) To DHS for having the most varied wait times I've EVER seen on the HM. A 50 minute wait was a 5 minute wait, 20 was 40, and 13 minute wait's are the BEST!
--(NYD) Props to the HM CM's for trying
--(NYD) MADD props to the restaurant next to Star Tours (sorry I cant remember the name) for having free refills on fountain drinks!!! I know I got chocolate milk but STILL!
--(NYD/NYE) Props to all of Disney for having chocolate milk, your awesome
--(NYD) Sounds Dangerous is a fun place to sit down and relax for a bit (the area with the cushioned booth)
SLOPS
--(NYE)Not being able to park at the Contemporary. We tried to park at the Contemporary and walk to the MK, now I know if I'm not a guest or eating a Chef Mickie's I'm not supposed to do this, but it's just a trick that I love doing. Parking and then walking to MK really sets up the day, and then taking the monorail back and being the FIRST STOP is just too pro.
--(NYE)Disney having to open up area's not inside the park to guests so that they could walk to different areas. Now I know letting traffic go through is the smartest choice for someone trying to go ride all of the rides, but seeing Disney from a CM pov kinda took away some of the magic. Walking down main street and seeing all of the 'buildings' is one thing, but looking behind them and seeing that they aren't real buildings at all is kinda deflating.
--(NYE)Having no emergency exit in Big Thunder Railroad! O.K. so the story goes, the guests in front of us consisted of two adults and two children (although I'm not sure if the female was a MILF or an older sister). The little boy told his mom/sister that he was feeling sick and was going to throw up and so the lady proceeded to take him out (by going into what looked like a CM are, up the stairs, behind the load area for BTR). The CM told her to go back into the line and that there was no way to let him out. She was like baffled (as was I), that there was no way to let someone out who was in line (like an emergency exit or SOMETHING, I mean if a fire went down EVERYONE would die if there really is no E-exit). About two minutes later, the kid decided to taste his dinner twice leaving it all over the ground, in the loading area of BTR. The female and male cast members completely ignored this and went on with what they were doing. The lady was in awe that no one did ANYTHING. I felt bad for the kid and her with what had happened (plus the people behind me who didnt see him puke and proceeded to step in it because no CM stepped in to clean it up or warn people or anything). I know it was new years eve in MK but STILL, there was WAY too much going wrong for them not to have been able to do ANYTHING.
--(NYE) Disney, after having the DJ play a ton of songs every1 new and was dancing to, they switched over to songs by there artists (probably to push product). Then everyone stopped singing and dancing and they were asking questions like "what is this" and "what happened to the good music". Now I gotta admit I dont go around listening to YMCA in the car or anything, and I would probably turn the channel the millisecond i recognized the song, but in Disney idk, it was just awesome to see everyone like that on new years eve.
--(NYE) Disney having MADD unclean bathrooms, but since it was so packed I guess I gotta give em a pass.
--(NYE) Disney for having not enough bathrooms. I mean seriously I would NOT have been able to hold it in as long as the females had to. There were longer lines for the bathroom the TTA!
--(NYE) Slops to the CM who not only let some guy go and then roped me off (going from splash mountain to haunted mansion), which is whatever, they had to cut off the line sometime (because they had a sewage problem) BUT they told me to go the long way around. They coulda told me to go down by the river and use the shortcut that is used during parades (because that is directally to the HM) but she made me go through adventure land to liberity square. Really irritated me. I mean the detour shes just doing her job, but I just cant take bad directions from someone who works at the park
--(NYD) Slops to me for gettin to DHS at like 1 and the Toy Story Mania FP's being already out :brick:
--(NYD) Slops to Birmingham to rating Bill and Mindy's Dockside Diner as the "Place to get the best milkshake" and them S__________G. I mean add some flavor, oreos, MnM's, Gummy bears, whatever. But vanilla and chocolate so hard it was difficult for me to spoon it out is NOT a milkshake. I mean if this is REALLY the place in disney with the "best milkshakes" then dont even mention it in the book PLEASE!
--(NYD) The Rockin Rollar Coaster CM's for having less then 0 enthusiasm.
--(NYE/NYD) I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but this REALLY bothers me, slops to people who are so fat and lazy that they get wheelchairs to ride around Disney and skip lines all day. Look I understand that some people are elderly, handicapped, etc. I know people have problems and I am NOT talking to them, but just because your so fat that your legs cant support all of the food you cram down your gullet doesnt mean you should get a free pass on rides and get to lay around all day and have people push you. If you cant handle your own weight for 10 hours, dont go to disney for that long, or diet pre-disney, or hit the gym, or lay down the ho-ho's, SOMETHING.
--(NYE/NYD) Once again, another one I'm going to get destroyed on, but people who cant speak English. I mean if your trying I have NO PROBLEM WHAT SO EVER. But people who expect Disney to cater to them and their language of choice need to go back home. Like if I go to France and start trying to talk to everyone in English, I deserve to get treated like crap, and that's EXACTLY why I don't go. I dont speak the language, and I'm not respecting their language and their culture by making them speak my language to have a conversation. By at least ATTEMPTING English your showing that you respect someone elses culture, by speaking your own dialect in an English speaking country your basically saying **** your country and your way of life, you need to bow down to me because I'm more important. Now I know some smart guy is going to come on and say that America doesn't have a national language and that is technically true, but none the less everyone knows we speak English (or as the English would say we speak American).
--(NYD) The cushioned booth area of Sounds Dangerous while your on the job needs some new headphones for REAL. I mean nice bose headphones. Also a new story line, like walking into a haunted house or something, something with some umph! And last but not least a locking mechanism on the door when it says occupied, because my door wouldn't shut all the way and it was pretty bothersome!
All and all it was a fun trip, regardless of lines it's still Disney and until further notice, it's still magical...
