Hi,
I'm currently posting from our hotel room at the Beach Club giving you guys a few updates/thoughts on stuff, & I will be posting pictures once I get back home & I'll also be posting more updates if I see/feel the need too! Let us begin!
Magic Kingdom;
- Haunted Mansion looks like it is coming along really nicely, & i'm hoping we get to ride it before leaving next Monday. I saw some other threads saying that they are doing a.."sorta" soft opening allowing guests at a time to be able to ride it. If we're lucky enough to get on, I pretty much video tape everything, i'll record it & post it!
- The Night of Joy stage is up, which is this coming weekend, if i'm correct. It is located near the Tea-Cups & Winnie the Pooh.
Epcot
- Ride times are getting shorter (yay!), which is never a bad thing. However; Monday, Test Track went down & Soarin's time was at 50 Minutes, where Mission: Space was near 1 Hour, 20 Minutes.
- "Journey Into the Imagination," went down Monday for around 10-15 minutes, which if you break down at the end..its absolutely a nightmare! I wish someone would've had a gun to put me out my misery. Alls you hear is "Imagination" replaying over & over & over again. Yea, you get the point & i'm sure you have an idea of HOW annoying it can get.
- There are walls around the area near the McDonalds counter service, which is right next to Canada. I'm guessing this is due to the Food & Wine Festival.
- Covers are over the bottom half of China's main building.
- The Seagulls mouths are still not moving infront of Nemo.
Disney's MGM Studios
- Rock -n- Roller Coaster is officially closed for the month. It was at least a 45 minute wait Monday night (late night), & Tower of Terror was around 5-10 minutes. However; I found it ridiculous how they continously let on Fast Passers that late at night for Rock -n- Roller Coaster. Oh well, I guess they just wanted people to use them since it'll be closed. They also added/changed the line set-up & added a few new things in the area when boarding the ride, & the ride even felt smoother. Why are they actually closing it?
- A huge wall is infront of Star Wars, which if walking from the Prime-Time Cafe area, towards the ride, it almost looks like its closed, but have no fear - its not! When riding this ride, you can see why they're updating it & I think it'll be great after they do so.
- I saw/met Lightning McQueen & To-mater. Lightning McQueen had a few slashes in his tires, some water in his gas, & supposidly tried driving off a cliff. (You'll get it if you know the voice of him, & what happened recently - Owen Wilson)..Anywayssss!
Animal Kingdom
- The Line for "Finding Nemo: The Musical" was so long, it curved around below the legs of the tall Dinosaur which is the entrance, if you're walking from Mt. Everest.
- Mt. Everest wait time was around 15-20 Minutes, not bad at all!
- Yak & Yeti look's like it'll be really awesome, & they had people working hard on it Tuesday morning.
Other
- Waiters/Waitresses have been acting a tad "ruder," which i'm sure is due to people using the dining plan. We spoke with some of them, & they were saying how next year is going to be alot worse, because people will just automatically leave after they're done eating, & completely forget that they won't be getting tipped next year! I find it quite rude/retarded.
Reviews
- Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor (Rating: 4/10): Yes, I know, I rated it so low! I agree, the animation/interactive style of this show is incredible, but it's one of those shows that people will maybe feel "self-concious" if put on the big screen, when they really don't want too. I realize they shouldn't be, but some woman Sunday night (Magic Kingdom Late Night) was trying to move away & kept shaking her head no because she didn't wanna do it. However; that being said, this show isn't one of "those" shows that you can go & watch more then even once, if that all, on your trip.
- The Seas with Nemo & Friends (Rating: 9/10): I absolutely loved this ride, because it showed that Disney World could still show its classic side of creating rides. (Unlike Monsters Inc.)
- Grand Fiesta Tour (Rating: 8/10): I think it was alot better then I was expecting, & I even chuckled a little. I will still miss the classic side of this ride though.
- O, Canada! 360 (Rating: 9/10): I didn't see the original, although i've been to Disney World alot. I found this to be really entertaining & funny, because Martin Short is a funny guy. My overall thought though is that I really liked it, one of the only 360's I can actually go rewatch.
Well, that's it for today. I promise to have alot more in the very upcoming future. I'm still here, so maybe i'll see some of you guys while i'm down here!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
