Trip Report: All the Disney Boats (Day 3, Part 1 | July 2021)

 Friday, July 23rd

Today I set my alarm for 9:30, but ended up waking up around 9 AM. I slowly got around because we weren’t trying to rush this trip. We left the room around 10:45 and caught a bus to the Magic Kingdom.

Overnight they put the 50th label on the Castle. It was cool to be there for something like that. It was all over social media that day.

I went to Sleepy Hollow to get a nutella and fruit waffle. Sadly, they are no longer available all day 😢 so I was too late to get one. Instead we checked wait times and decided to go for Tomorrowland. On our way in we saw the TTA moving which was a happy sight.

The Buzz wait was 40 minutes and was long. I didn’t think it was going to take that long especially since it’s an omnimover. The wait ended up being 20 minutes. I did win, but both of us had a poor showing.

When we got out, the wait for the Peoplemover was 15 minutes so we got in line. Tron is really coming along. The TTA is always a pleasure and we had a nice breeze most of the time. We stayed in Tomorrowland, and did Carousel of Progress. It’s a classic and I enjoy it. What I don’t enjoy is people standing constantly. The poor CastMembers kept having to come over the loudspeaker to tell them to sit down. Their standing also caused us to watch the first two scenes twice. I tried to take advantage of the situation and take in all the details.

The line for Space Mountain was too long for us so we left Tomorrowland. We went to Fantasyland since it was close by. We rode It’s a Small World which I think is a fun ride. I get why people find it annoying, but it works for me. We also got to board a bit early because they needed a party of two in order to fill a boat. We also placed our mobile orders while in line to pass some time.

Then, we went to Adventureland and rode Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s a fun ride with the added bonuses of air conditioning. Plus, the sweet smell of Florida water.

Trip Report: A Very Dapper Morning (Day 2, Part 1 | January 2021)

Today I woke up around 7:30 AM. I got around and went out on the balcony to eat my oatmeal and banana. I loved this balcony and view. It’s so relaxing and beautiful.

We left the room around 8:30 to head to Magic Kingdom. The bus came fairly fast.

The Dapper Dans came out on the horse-drawn trolley right after we got to the park. That was some great timing. There was a couple with a baby and they were all dressed up like the Dapper Dans. I had to compliment them on their outfits. We watched the Dans from the side of Main Street and then followed them as we made our way to Frontierland.

First, we did Splash Mountain to say good-bye...again. We just don’t know when Disney will do the renovation so I want to make sure I don’t miss out on an opportunity. I ended up in the front row and tried to be brave in my picture with no hands. My ears started to fly off so I had to grab them, but the picture came out good. I did close my eyes though.

I did have to replace my mask because I got pretty wet.

Then, we hopped over to Big Thunder which had about a 20 minute wait. Does anyone else wish there was a picture on Big Thunder?

Then, we were off to the Haunted Mansion. Naturally, we had to ride because I was wearing my Haunted Mansion wallpaper ears. 

We continued going right around Magic Kingdom and were off to Fantasyland. First, we did It’s a Small World which I really enjoy. I can see how it’s annoying, but I love all the colors and the song. Then, we got in line for Peter Pan’s Flight. The line started in Columbia Harbour House which was weird but it moved fast.
