Our last day and MK is a madhouse!
Don't you mean "Mouse House"???
we noticed very poor bus etiquette.
What is
with people these days??
People would walk up and step right in front of us and we were clearly in line.
Grrrr... I would definitely say something. "The line's back there."
the bus would pick us up to go to the park and went all around Riverside to drop people off. This took up a lot of time.
Huh. I didn't know that. Seems... odd if the parks were that busy?
We arrived at MK and regular guests are allowed in and corralled in the hub area.
Resort guests were allowed to line up for Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.
I presume though that the non-resort guests couldn't get past the hub until 9:00, though.
At least I hope so.
If you're going to minimize the resort "perk" already, at least make it the entire 30 minutes!
We had to wait until exactly 8:30, this really irritates me.
Ugh. Just let us in!
By the time you walk to the ride and get in line the 30 minutes is almost over.
We would have been one of the first on the ride, except it was down, ugh!
Okay, we head over to PoTC and guess what, this was down as well.
That too???
The CM was telling people to move on and go to Country Bears
okay fine but CBJ doesn’t even open until 10am.
I've noticed this. Since CMs are not allowed to say "I don't know", they can say anything else... even if it's wrong.
I got two completely different answers once from two CMs.
We moved on and of course, Splash was not starting on time either
Oh, come on... This is getting ridiculous.
Well, we headed over to BTMRR and this was running, yay!
We decided to check Splash and it was opening just as we got there and very few in line! This was a walk on for us!
I got really wet on the first little hill, the water seemed really high today. It was a fun ride even though I was wet. I did dry pretty fast.
Good thing it wasn't cold out.
We headed back to PoTC and this was running now, yay!
I got this cool picture when we were stopped on the ride in the graveyard
I like it! I sometimes wish I could control when the ride stopped so I could get some good photos.
We both really liked our pretzels!
Loooove pretzels.
The place was very busy and people were eating foot long hotdogs at 10:30am.
Um... nope! That's just a bit too early for me.
After our pretzel, a ride on CoP was in order. I love this attraction and so does Andi. We relaxed and enjoyed the show.
It was time for our SDMT fancy ride pass! We walked over to the ride and the wait was 80 minutes! Having our paid FP was really worth it today.
Good call on that!
This ride is very cute but also very short!!
Yes and... yes!
Mr. Toad in one of the shops
I'm glad they kept him around in some form. I wonder how many kids (or even young adults) would have a clue who he was?
We stopped in the new confectionery and I wasn’t impressed. It is all about promoting Mars candy.
Great.
Goes really well with the Starbucks down the street.
You have to order at this circular bakery case area and there was only 1 CM there! The wait would be so long and then you have to go to a check out area and wait again!
So efficient!
Not.
Your report is starting to depress me!
It made my heart happy to say hi to Mickey!
Cool shot!
We headed out and par for the day, the monorail was not running.
Oh, come on... seriously??? Did you ask for your money back at any point?
We took the walking path over to GF. It is a nice walk but it is long. We walk fast and it took us at least 15 minutes.
Thanks for that. I've wondered for a while now how long that walk would be.
Wow! That's... incredible.
Whoa. Those look amazing.
Andi went over to the pool bar and got us the Niue rita, this is the margarita with POG juice in it.
I'm sorry... it has POG
???? I want!
Such a cute shot!
I got the sugar cookie cold brew, yum!
Holy smokes. That sounds uber-decadent!
We touched down in cold and snowy Duluth around 11:30pm. While we were gone, Duluth got about 10 inches of snow ❄ and since then we have got another 18-20 inches.
Ugh. I hear you. It's been a much more snowy winter this season than last. At least it seems that way to me.
I’m not impressed. I wish I was back in Florida!
You and me both!
A picture of my Christmas decor at home thrown in
Nice! I like the oversize ornaments on the tree skirt.
EP at Universal with our resort stay is awesome! Disney should do this.
Yes. Yes they should.
WDW is expensive and no perks anymore staying on site at moderate/value. I don’t think the 30 minute early entry is worth anything in my opinion. DME is now gone, airline check in gone, luggage to the resort gone, free FP gone, real EMH gone… see the pattern here. I have also noticed discounts for resort stays are very few and far between!
And yet... they know they can do it, because...
That being said, I have budgeted for 3 trips this year!
...because we keep going!
We leave in 2 weeks, for our first trip, it will be 1/21-1/30.
Coming up soon! I'm
hoping maybe in August... Covid willing.
Thank you everyone for joining in on our adventures!
Thanks so much for sharing with us, Caroline!
Stay warm and healthy Everyone!
Must admit... having trouble with the "warm" lately!
