Trip Report-Day 15
Syth went to breakfast again this morning and had an incident with the French. He said there were about 50 in line and he went around into the priority line. The staff still let about half of them go before him. He said the staff couldn’t keep up and ran out of food because there were so many of them.
We got to the park close to 7:30 am and there were already quite a few people but we expected that. Everyone was sitting on the ground but we forgot our leisure sheet so we stood. They let us in right at 9 am. Here’s our step by step process:
- Got a fp for journey (9:20-10:20)
- Rode journey (walk on)
- Rode 20,000 leagues under the sea (walk on)
- Got a fp for tower of terror (11:25-12:25)
- Bought caramel corn (I really liked it, syth said it was just okay)
- Rode journey with our fp
- Bought Chinese chili popcorn (syth really liked it, I didn’t try it)
- Tried to get an Indiana Jones fp but couldn’t because of our tower of terror fp
- Went to Arabian coast and rode sinbad (relaxing and awesome animatronics with really catchy songs, walk on)
- Paid 500 yen to do the Arabian coast games. The person probably thought I was terrible but I was losing on purpose to get a pin lol. We chose the Chandu pin which is so cute
- Rode the carousel (walk on)
- Bought sea salt ice cream (syth liked it a lot, I thought it was just okay-tasted too much like a poptart)
- Got a fp for Indiana jones but couldn’t use it because of our lunch reservation
- Rode tower of terror with our fp (this took about 20 minutes even with a fp) We were able to keep the fp by just saying we wanted to keep it. They punch a hole in it so they know you’ve used it. Our favorite ride so far.
- Got a fp for tower of terror because we liked it so much (5:55-6:55)
- Went to our lunch at Magellan’s-12:20 pm
- We asked about eating in the bookcase but they said it would be a 40 min wait. I did get a video of it closing though.
- The portions here are small but the taste makes up for that. I had the potato soup, pork, and cheesecake and it was all very good. Syth had chicken soup, lobster, and cheesecake. He said the soup was like it was from a can, but the lobster was very good and had a good sauce.
- They were really good about filling water and brought our courses quickly but not to rush us.
- Fortress explorations (pretty fun, you have to shoot the cannons lol)
- Watched tanabata greetings from the top of the fortress. It was decent but I wouldn’t wait long to watch it. We had no one around us up there which was nice
- Got a fp for Nemo (2:50-3:50)
- Rode aquatopia (15 min wait)
- Watched a marching band and they were so fun! They played Beatles songs first and then asked people for a Disney movie and played a snippet from it.
- Rode Nemo with our fp (super cute! People will think we’re crazy but we both liked this more than journey, it had a star tours feel to it)
- Went to the Venetian gondolas (20 min wait)-these were really fun and the guy on our boat was a great singer!
- Went to an atm to get some yen out. The popcorn and drink carts only take cash.
- We tried to go into Mira costa but they said we needed to be checking in.
- Checked out the Mcduck store for Duffy’s Sunny Fun merch. I didn’t buy anything then because it was supposed to rain later.
- Bought alien mochi by the SS Columbia-it was okay but I wouldn’t buy it again. I liked he strawberry flavor the best
- Made wishes at the Tanabata area. That was fun and I like that they do that for the event. We wrote a wish on a Mickey head and tied it to the pole with the rest of the wishes
- Bought garlic shrimp and strawberry popcorn. I loved the strawberry and syth liked the garlic shrimp but thought the Chinese chili was better
- We walked through the Teddy Roosevelt lounge
- Watched part of the New York show which looked pretty fun. The line for that show was huge before it started
- Took pictures in Toyville of toy story mania
- It started raining so we waited in the fp kiosk area for tot waiting for our fp to start at 5:55
- Went to use our tot fp but the line was backed up further than before when we rode and we didn’t want to be late for our big band beat show at 6:20. We gave our FPS to two teen girls who looked really happy.
- Walked into big band beat at 6:20 pm. We got seats in the second section back, first row, on the far left side so didn’t have anyone directly in front of us. This show was AMAZING!!! I loved it so much! I play drums and watching Mickey actually play the drums (not just pretend) was so cool. I loved all of the broadway dancers and the music was great.
- I finally went back to Mcduck’s and bought a Gelatoni plush and a Duffy’s Sunny Fun hat. It was pretty pricey but I like them both a lot.
- We ate dinner at Vulcania in Mysterious Island.
- It’s Chinese food. I had fried chicken in soy sauce and vinegar with white rice, both were yummy. Syth had sweet and sour pork, chili shrimp, and spring rolls. He said the sweet and sour pork was the best of the three. The theming is really neat and the floor actually shakes since you’re inside of a volcano.
- We decided to leave after this because we’re waking up early for Disneyland tomorrow.
Overall, we had a fantastic day! We were able to get a TON done in one day and left two hours before park close. Our favorite things were: tower of terror, Magellan’s, and big band beat.
