DH has been really busy, so I decided to go ahead and update without him...he's going to have a lot to catch up on
The MK is soooooo pretty at night, so we (ok I) had to stop and take pictures with the Mickey head all lit up:
Too bad that's about the only thing on your way in that is lit up. Maybe it's becuase I'm from a large city that has lights all over, but for some reason in my head, I had a picture of bright lights illuminating the MK entrance and it would be easy to find our brick at night.
So we try and find our brick since this is the first time we will have seen it in person. That worked well in the dark
we did try for about ten minutes using our cell phones as flashlights. It just would not work, its too dark in the area where the brick should have been. Well have to try again tomorrow.
So we get inside and its not too bad (although a couple of these pics make it look crowded)
We head to Liberty Square to watch Spectro
usually good viewing from there. I think we grabbed a spot sitting on a planter. Eventually the nice people in front of us on the ground invited us to sit next to them for a total front row spot. DH declined, but I joined them. They were very nice and we chatted a bit. As it got closer to the start we had the usual people try to squish us into a smaller space
, even though wed been there for a while. The family I was sitting with did not budge
. We did get tired of sitting and part way through the parade we tried to stand for a minute, but got promptly yelled at and I mean yelled, not asked nicely
to sit back down. Im not that tall and the people behind us were on a curb standing. They were also ones who smushed in at the end. The daughter and I complied somewhat
we kneeled instead, just couldnt sit anymore. The parents stayed standing. I havent watched the video yet, but Im guessing you could probably hear this whole exchange on the tape. That just aggravated me, but I tried to get over it. Although I really wanted to remain standing the whole rest of the time
After Spectro we made our way over to the hub to watch Wishes. We havent watched it from here in a few trips so it was a nice perspective. I cant believe we have NO pictures of it. I have it on video, but until DH buys me a Mac and an editing program, we probably wont get to post any of it
The MK started to clear out at this point so we headed to Adventureland. No waits for anything. We jumped on Aladdin since we had never ridden it, and rode it a couple of times. Walked onto Pirates and then headed for Fantasyland. Another ride wed never been on, since the wait is usually incredibly long was Dumbo. But not tonight. We practically walked onto it.
Most of the rides were empty..it was great! Well except for Space Mountain which lied big time (and seemed to a lot during this trio)
said wait was ten minutes. So 25 minutes later we are finally getting close to being on it. Oh well, we cant win them all
I had honestly planned on only being in the MK for part of the night since it was open until Midnight and we had caught the first showing of Spectro. After our Space Mountain wait we decided to head back to the BW
I had to be up early to check in early at AKV. ON our way out, the second Spectro was showing and there were a ton of open spots along Main Street it was kind of weird. I knew the second showing were less crowded but didnt think there would be big gaps where you could walk right up and sit. All in all, it was a great night visit at the MK, we got to see Wishes and Spectro and rode a few things wed never even tried before.
Tomorrow we switch to our home resort AKV and I just hope I like it. For those of you that read the last trip report, youll remember DH loved it and I HATED it until our last day when something just changed for me
.I just hope I still like it.
