This won't be full of pics, possibly any, but I thought I'd share this super fun day I had. I live in south FL and took a trip for the weekend for a concert on friday and sunday. I am not too much of a fan of Tampa and I'm rarely this close to Orlando on a free day, so I decided to head to the World on my own and have myself a little ride-a-thon along with a quick lap around the world
I oversleep due to my friend whose place I was crashing at was a bartender and got out of work late (on top of driving 4 hours to Tampa and attending a lengthy rock show as well). My initial mission was to do all 4 parks in a day, but I had to cross DAK off my list due to its distance from the rest of the parks and it would have been for only 3 attractions.
So on 4 hours of sleep I get up and get ready and head off on the road and arrive at the DHS parking lot by 840AM, get my one day hopper and head straight to TSMM. Grab a 1:45pm fast pass and head into the standby line (45 min posted). As the day's trend will become, I get to the point where I'm asked how many, I say, 'one,' and I'm lead to another line much shorter than it would have been if wasn't alone. It saved me about 10 min of waiting and I wait 25 min to ride
I do horrible and realize this ride isn't quite so much fun completely alone and my gun wasn't calibrated right (I still got the best score in the car though
). It almost made me question whether going alone was a good idea, but I think also people were still tired from it being kind of early and so was I. Off to RnR... or not. Single rider line is closed and 80 min standby... nope! ToT it is and of a posted 60 min wait, I got on in about 35 or so min. I spent about 20 seconds in the boiler room before a CM called out for a single rider and I was on
It was a really silly group I rode with and it made for a really fun ride
another reason I wish I hadn't gone alone is that my pictures on most rides were actually pretty awesome and I would have picked up one or two had I been with someone else. I head over to RnR and see the single rider line is STILL closed, so I speed walk over to Star Tours for 2 walk on rides, the first including a sequence I hadn't experienced out of the 14 or so times I've ridden between DL and DHS. I stop by a gift shop with nightmare before christmas gear and pick up a cute Jack baseball Tee I'm going to give my gf (she lives in TX unfortunately) and a Jack plush that I'll have around to remind me of my gf
I try one last time for RnR and single riders is open. After a 20 min wait I ride (awesome as always) and am nearly complete with the studios. The only thing left was to take a trip to Starring Rolls for a red velvet cupcake to-go. I saved it to enjoy with lunch, but from here, on I go to the buses to EPCOT and the ride-a-thon continues along with the trip around the world... To be continued
