Trip Report This isn't a trip report, trip report

Hello! I took a quick trip to see my daughter C this past weekend and only spent one day at Disney. I only took a few pictures and in no way was I planning on writing anything here on the forums. But here I am writing because I'm right and @Darstarr is still wrong. Has anyone seen my argumentative friend Darstarr? She has been a little silent these days.


I flew out of Toledo Ohio, the smallest of airports on Friday evening after work. It was a beautiful night and an uneventful flight.

I had bought a park hopper and bright and early Saturday morning we woke up secured our Guardians virtual queue chose our first Genie+ and bought an ILL for Tron. It was exhausting. We crawled back into bed for another hour. I know it bothered me too but I'm moving at C's speed.

We arrive at Epcot and it is so busy, I mean so busy that it's almost not enjoyable.

I get it I went on a Saturday during Food and Wine and I didn't rope drop. I really have never seen it this busy though. There was no point in going to food booths. The lines at them were like lines at attractions. What we did do is walk around World Showcase and enjoyed the sights and sounds. We rode Three Caballeros. I had one LL that I had to book in Epcot before I started stacking LL's for later in MK. I made another mistake and chose Frozen. We hadn't ridden it the last time or two we've been there so that is what I chose thinking SOARIN line wouldn't be that bad. I was a little sad since we didn't end up riding it due to the line being over 70 minutes the whole time we were there and they had Soarin over California currently being played

Our Guardians group still hadn't been called so we headed to C's favorite restaurant

Then stopped for a treat C has been wanting to try, a brioche ice cream sandwich from France.

It's finally time for our Guardians queue and the whole point of this Not a Trip Report, Trip Report.

Ok, so the whole point of this ridiculous, short, not exciting Not a Trip Report, Trip Report is because of my friendly feud with Darstarr and my experience on Guardians but I will continue on anyway.

We scan in for our virtual queue and our wait is minimal. Maybe 25 minutes. We hop in and you all should know I'm hoping for I Ran by Flock of Seagulls.



But no what do I get..:grumpy: Everybody wants to rule the World




Ok, ok, It's not that bad, it's still the best ride at Disney regardless of song (unless they play Conga). I still think I Ran is better, the song is more upbeat. But my own daughter has betrayed me. She actually likes Everybody wants to rule the World better .

It's past 4pm when we head out of the park. We hop in C's car and drive to MK. While taking the monorail we have a delayed stop in Contemporary for about 10 minutes. I am relaxed and stress-free because I have managed to stack five LL's. We arrive! It's beautiful!

It's also packed and wait times are very high, BUT. I knew that going in. It's a Saturday and this day was in between two Halloween parties.

We arrive at the hub and I have to use the restroom so we stop by the one between Casey's and the first aid center.

Ewww. Who eats in the bathroom stall?

We have time before our Tron ILL so we stop into Monster Laugh Floor and have a great show. Still time so we hop on People Mover which has a 20 minute wait and looky here!

How sketchy and nasty is the inside of this ride!!. It made my ride later that night so much scarier :hilarious:. We got Alpha side and let me tell you, I don't know if there is a difference from the Omega side or the fact I saw how sketchy that ride is with the lights on but it was scary!! But so much fun!

After People Mover we got in line at Tron. I hate to say this but other than the takeoff it was good, not great or WOW or I can't wait to ride that again. Just good. I will not spend money on an ILL again or wait over 45 minutes for it. And that's all I have to say about that.

From here we started using our stacked LL's we rode

Haunted Mansion
Pirates
Big Thunder
Peter Pan
Space Mountain

We also stopped at Columbia Harbor House for some chicken strips and a fake crab cake sandwich.

By 10:30 we were exhausted and decided to head out a little before close. But not before grabbing the traditional Mickey Bar and Fruit Bar on our slow walk out of the park.

It was a wonderful day with C and I can't wait to eventually spend a week on property but with other vacations planned I'm not sure when that will be.

Thank you for reading this not so interesting, one day, only for Darstarr Not a Trip Report, Trip Report.

@Tuvalu could you please let Darstarr know I did this only for her so she knows that I'm still right and she's still wrong.

Late but here! Trying to convince myself a crowded day at DW is still better than a good day at the office but there are limits…

I’ve only ridden GOG once to Blondie’s One Way or Another. I keep trying to convince DH we must go back for “research purposes”.

One last discussion ? - how was the brioche ice cream sandwich in France?
