Visited the park yesterday (as I do virtually every Sunday ;-)). Since Indiana Jones opened on Friday, I decided to rope-drop it. I’m not an obsessive person by any stretch… except when it comes to DL. I love rope-dropping Fantasyland and breaking that routine almost makes me feel as if I’ve defied a ritual.
In any case, rope-dropped IJ and was the first one there (along with a few very nice people I met at the rope)! We were, of course, disappointed that the attraction was down :-(. You only get one rope-drop per day and your choice of attraction can sometimes feel like a roll of the dice. POTC was also closed… and I think BTMRR was as well. So I went to HM, which was only about a five-minute wait.
I rode Buzz several times later. My first few scores weren’t great: low millions. Then towards the end of my sortie I finally (and barely) broke 2M. I thought my score was at around 2,080,000, so I stopped shooting (because, as I note in nearly every post, exceeding ≈ 2,097,000 resets your score). It’s easy to lose track of your score - I often do - and I did so yesterday. It’s aggravating when that happens because I could have easily scored another 80,000. Oh well. As I always say to friends, any complaints I have at DL are First World, one-percenter complaints ;-).
Incidentally, Matterhorn closes April 17 for refurb… if you didn’t already know.
Finally I headed to the newly-reopened Toon Town. It isn’t often that we get a new attraction or revamped land at DL so of course it was worth a visit. I was pleased with it: lots of nice colors and cool areas. One of the neatest things to me was that several areas had patches of fake grass. It lent the place a fresh look; as if actually was a park. There was a large(ish) grassy area towards the back that was setup merely as a chill-out space, which I loved. Ran into some girls I know who’d dressed for the occasion.
I’ve got plenty of park maps, if anyone would like a set. Simply send me a DM.
Now: what you’ve come for: pics! And I’ve got a lot of ‘em.
