Trip Report: Shutting Down Epcot (October 2018)

If you missed the last update, you can read it here.

It was just after 10 when we got out of Mexico. We decided to had for Test Track.

The posted wait time was 145 minutes, but looking at the line we didn't believe it. So, we hopped in line after they scanned our MagicBands to confirm we could be there for Extra Magic Hours.

I set a timer on my phone to see how long the wait actually was.

Our car ended up being more well-rounded then we usually make. We ended up trying to use Figment colors.

The wait ended up being just 25 minutes (including the car building). 

I forgot how intense the outside loop can be-especially when you bank.

It was 10:45 when we got off and the park would be closing at 11. Dad suggested riding again. Why not? Let's shut this sucker down.

I tried to look asleep for the picture this time, but couldn't quite remember where it was. So, I gave up like 1 second too early. Well, there's always next time.

The park was officially closed when we got off.

Unfortunately, Starbucks was closed, too. I wanted to pick up my "You are here" mug.

And it looked like they were still filming Wheel of Fortune. We could still hear yelling from over there/World Showcase.

I took a few nighttime pictures at the front of the park.

When we got out, they had just closed the monorail so dad had to take a bus like the rest of us. I got on the second bus to come for All Star Music and I still had to stand. That bus line was crazy!

It was after midnight when I got to my room so I went to bed fairly quickly and decided to shower in the morning.

Steps Walked: 23, 130

March 2013 Trip Report: Day 2, Part 5 (Back to Magic Kingdom)

Brian and Katie stayed in the hotel after dinner. But dad, Denise, and I headed to the Magic Kingdom for Extra Magic Hours. This was definitely a long day for us.

We got there around 9:30 and it was pretty empty.

Big Thunder and Haunted Mansion were both walk ons. We love riding Big Thunder at night. Our doombuggies did stop twice. And that ride kind of creeps me out at night.

Then, we walked around New Fantasyland. It’s very pretty at night.

Next, we walked on Under the Sea (and whatever else goes with that attraction name that is obnoxiously long). It was a little sad that we couldn’t really enjoy the queue. The ride was nice and I really liked Ursula.

Then, we flew off to Neverland.

Back in New Fantasyland we went through Gaston’s Tavern and Bonjour Village Gifts. It’s nice gift shop but smaller than I expected.

Around 11 we headed back to the Contemporary. I showered and watched the Must Dos with Stacy. I’ve become one of those people who constantly watch Stacy.

My long day finally came to an end and I went to be around 12:30.
