Hi Everyone! Sorry for falling off the face of the earth! End of the school year has been killer on me! Lots of things to do! But the girls are finally done! Of course, summer means camp and swim team. So, it is a whole new busy schedule! But I want to get this point again because I didn't take any notes for this trip, so I need to keep moving before all of the details get fuzzy!
Day One: Pirates, Happy Haunts & Fantasmic
I think I left us off finishing up our early dinner at Hungry Bear. We weren't really sure what we wanted to do after so we just headed out. We came up on Pirates, which doesn't have a maxpass on it at the time, so we decided to just get in line. It was moving fairly consistently, so we figured why not. I def wanted to give it a try.
Pirates of the Caribbean
I have to admit, I am very confused by the outside of this version.
We got into the courtyard area and all of a sudden we realized that we hadn't moved in awhile. Oye. And then Gwen decided she had to go to the bathroom. But I wasn't sure when the line would start moving again, we were really close to going inside. So, we waited it out. We started moving again after a little bit.
Pirates Loading Area
And were loading onto a boat shortly. Gwen really had to go to the bathroom and didn't really want to ride Pirates. She doesn't really like the Disney World one, we usually make her ride once a trip. So, combined she wasn't in a great mood.
Pirates Blue Bayou
It was cool going by the restaurant. It kind of made me wish we had done that instead. Next time!
Skeletons
Most of my pictures of this ride came out blurry, as I was basically just using my phone.
Pirates Ride
I enjoyed this version but I don't know if I can pick one as better than the other.
The Red Head
We got to see the Red Head one last time!
As soon as we got off the ride, I ran with Gwen to hit a bathroom. We had fast passes for Indian Jones next, so I told Morgan and Andy to meet us in front of there. Gwen and I ran "super" fast and made it to the bathroom by Alladin area. Was this a meet n greet area? It had one stall and thankfully it was empty!
After we headed back out and got in line for Indiana Jones. I didn't really know what to expect for this. Gwen and Morgan were on the fence on riding this, but we said they needed to try it once. I think when we were scanning our tickets, the CM told us it would be 20 minutes from her. Morgan turned to me and looked at me like we were crazy for making them do this.
Indian Jones Que
Seriously.... this que is crazy long!!!! It's not even that it goes back and forth but you can just tell that you are walking far milage wise!
Indian Jones Que
The que was really cool, with lots of themed stuff. Which was all creeping Gwen out big time.
Indian Jones Que
Indian Jones Que
Spikes!
We went down hallways.... upstairs... down stairs...
The longest Que Ever!
It felt like forever! But we made it to the ride vehicles! We got in a truck and we were off!
Gwen kept her eyes closed, and head down the entire ride! It was really fun but I wish we could have done it again, I was half worried about Gwen to really enjoy it. Morgan liked it enough to say It was ok. I take that as a win! Andy loved it! He said it was one of his favorites from the park!
Afterwards, I think I grabbed MaxPasses for Haunted Mansion. But Gwen was REALLY against riding and we had just dragged her on 2 rides she didn't want to do. So, I granted her this as a pass. So, I sent Andy and Morgan to ride. Which I let Gwen choose something...
To be Continued....
