Happy Friday all!
I'm here now and things are great!
Checked in at Riviera yesterday and were upgraded from a Studio to a 1 bedroom so I no longer need to switch rooms halfway through the trip - pixie dust for the win!
Did food and wine last night, lines were not bad at all for either rides or food booths. I don't have a Remy preview (BOO) but from what I saw it looked crowded in there. I remain very jealous.
I went to Mouse Gear and there was 0 50th merch to be found. I know the next batch isn't technically dropping until the 1st but it's weird that there are advertisements literally everywhere but no merch to be found. I will keep looking and report back if I find things.
My experience as a party of 2 is that we got our own private skyliner car each time. We'll see if that holds up into the weekend. I enjoy being able to put my feet up.
Boo Bash tonight, keeping my fingers crossed for light crowds, low waits, and lots of candy!
ETA: We were seated with another group of 4 on the skyliner at Epcot opening this morning. We don't mind at all and they were super cool people - Hi new Alabama friends! But I know this is a sticky point for a lot of people so just updating. I think it is based on crowd/line levels at the time of boarding.
