Best time at Disney
During my honeymoon in 2004, the Extra Magic Hour night was raining VERY hard, and most of the outdoor rides were closed. We walked through Adventureland (it was raining bad, but you can be dry at home or wet at the Magic Kingdom!)... and miracle of miracles, Pirates of the Caribbean was running! Pirates is my all-time favourite ride!!! That it was open was unannounced; it was not even scheduled to actually be open Extra Magic hours that trip
We rode Pirates a solid three hours straight. As no other rides were running near Pirates, we had nearly every time completely to ourselves! Empty boats in front, behind, no morons with flash cameras!
We quickly bought some of the Pirates beanie hats, and several bottles of the Mickey's Lost Treasure coloured candy bottles to "yo, ho" with on the ride (Love that tooth-decaying candy!
After a few trips around, the CM's starting really getting into the act, ARRRing all the way and telling us great "history of the ride" and "silly guest moments" stories.....
"Yo ho, yo ho, a Pirate's life for me!"
Just shy of winning a night in Cindy's castle, the YOAMD contest doesn't have a prize that could match that glorious night for me
