Stuck. On Splash Mountain. With some losers.
So there we were. Walkin to Splash Mountain. I was about to yell at the people coming down YOURE GONNA GET WET! but Seth and Jackie probably wouldve thought I was a freak. Oh wait. They already do
We got in the FP line and walked right now.
And by the way, this was Seths first ride on Splash. Jackie went on when she was little.
I got the front of the boat.
We were having a lovely ride. Just goin along, gettin wet.
YOURE GONNA GET WET!
Goin up
Wasnt the big drop
(duh)
*breaths a sign of relief*
Where can I get me some Brer Soap?
And some of those nice orange shorts?
Oh why doesnt this look familiar
Probably because we got STOPPED here.
Looks like Brer Fox and Brer Bear are causing some kind of commotion downstream.
Awesome. I was stuck with some losers in the middle of Splash Mountain.
So they kept making the announcement, there was no sound, but the animatronics kept moving. And all we got to look at was that bird for oh, I dont know, 20 MINUTES.
We sat there. I was trying to get a wifi signal so I could go on Twitter. Didnt happen. So I looked like a total idiot holding my iTouch to the sky like it was Simba, trying to get a signal. In the middle of Splash Mountain.
We sat there some more.
Seth was very excited since it was his first ride. Jackie was scared. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU WOMAN?!
Just waiting
and hanging out with losers
Then we started talking to the people behind us. It was a father and his kids. He was saying that he got stuck at some ride at CANOBIE LAKE PARK
which is like an hour from me. We asked if he was from New Hampshire but he said he was from Massachusetts. So Seth asked what town.
Oh you wouldnt know it
But he told us and it turns out that HE LIVED IN THE SAME EXACT TOWN AS SETH AND JACKIE. I know we werent on its a small world, but lets sing it! No? You dont want it stuck in your head? FINE. BE THAT WAY.
It was so weird!
Seeee. Getting stuck on Splash Mountain is time to get to know people and realize that a little town in Massachusetts is where all of the losers live
well I dont know if this guy was a loser, but whatever.
Then CMs were running next to our boats. WHAT IS GOING ON?
This CM told us that they were letting us out of our boats, so stay seated, blah, blah, blah. Just rules for idiots.
Seth was sad that we werent going to be able to ride it. And I dont know why Jackie is sad in this picture because she was SO excited that we were getting off.
Let me tell you, I was jumping with joy. Well actually sitting with joy because I am a good doobie and I stay seated when CMs tell me to.
I was like WE ARE GOING BACKSTAGE OH MY GOD YAYYYYYYY.
And Jackie was like Oh wow. I hope everything is ok.
And I was like WE ARE GOING BACKSTAGE OMG.
And then Jackie was like I hope no one got hurt or anything!
And then in my head I was like SHUT UP WE ARE GOING BACKSTAGE SHUT UP.
So two CMs were coming around getting everyone out of their boats. Our lap bars wouldnt come up at first and we kept having to push down on them for a few minutes. I thought I was going to be stuck on Splash Mountain with a bunch of losers FOREVER.
Finally, we got out of our boats and I basically had to jump across the water because of the way we were, there was a huge gap between me and the walkway.
Something you dont see everyday
We all had to get in a line and wait until the CMs led us BACKSTAGE.
We started walking and I saw some people that couldnt get out of their boats. There was a big wall next to them blocking the walk way. I have no clue how they wouldve gotten out!
Walking through a hallway to get outside
The hallway wasnt that long and then pretty soon we were outside and you could see where they keep all of the parade floats! I got out of the line to take this picture, for you guys of course. Trip reporting at its finest people!
We had to go down a lot of stairs next. Exciting stuff, I know.
Not very magical.
Still walking
The back of Splash. Beautiful, I know.
We reached the regular guest area and CMs were handing out FPs to use anywhere. BOO YA!
Just went backstage on Splash Mountain. Yup.
We headed out
frontstage (???) and I called Mum to tell her where we were. They were actually right in front of Splash and she was wondering why there wasnt any water coming down
I told them about our afternoon and how we got stuck on Splash and stuff and showed them the pictures.
And I guess Mimi got into a FIGHT with someone in Phillharmagic.
You read that right.
A FIGHT.
I guess these pooh sized people wouldnt move all the way down the row and Mum kept telling them to move. They got up, I guess, but then once Mimi sat down, they were being pretty rude to her. I dont know exactly what they said because I cant remember but Mimi started PUNCHING this woman in the BUTT.
I dont even know.
I mean, I was in SHOCK when she told me.
I just dont think you go around PUNCHING people in their BOOTIES.
IN WALT DISNEY WORLD.
Im surprised the police havent been after her
I asked how hard she was punching this woman and she punched me in the arm and it HURT.
I dont know what the crap this pooh sized woman said or whatever, but
I dont even know.
I probably shouldnt be posting this in my TR.
ANYWAYYYYYYSSSSS. MOVING ON NOW.
We headed over towards Pirates at this point.
There was a 20 minute wait but Troy INSISTED on going on. So we stood in like the longest line ever. I swear it was WAY more than 20 minutes. Or maybe I am just used to walking right on rides so it felt really long to me. Thats probably it.
We finally got on, and Troy just LOVED it. He was dying to go on again! I think he was just a little scared when they were shooting the bomb, just like Mum was when she was little. She has told me many stories about her first trip to Disney. It wasnt a pleasant one to say the least, but thats another story.
From what she has told me about it, it seemed like she did a lot of complaining on that trip. THANK THE HIGH HEAVENS SHE IS NOT LIKE THAT ANYMORE.
Oh, and I almost forgot about the mermaids!
I wasnt that impressed.
All it is is a light that shines in the water next to you every like 5 seconds and that nasty mermaid skeleton.
And I do not like it that they got rid of DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES. Like HOW could you get rid of that part?!
I mean Disney is getting rid of the Main Street Bakery, so I shouldve seen that coming sooner or later.
We looked in the Dump Shop for a little bit afterwards, and Seth bought a pirate ship for Troy for Christmas that he got shipped home. And let me tell ya, the CM checking him out was so clueless. I couldve done whatever she had to do better than her!
The whack job family also tried on some pirate hats in there.
(this is the only decent picture I got without Troy having his finger stuck up one of his nostrils)
Mum and I wanted to get over to WL to check in and I just wanted to go over with her. I really didnt want Mimi coming with us, but she was like Oh yeah, Ill come! I just wanted to spend some time with Mum, but I could see that wasnt going to happen.
So all three of us headed to the front of the park (we basically left the other people (minus one) behind to do whatever) and headed towards Main Street.
Thank you kind sir for getting your big fat head in the way! I appreciate it!
BEAUTIFUL.
Before we actually left the park, we stopped in the Emporium.
The decorations in there are amazing.
Mum got the CUTEST Orange Bird antenna topper in there! I love it so much.
Then we made our way out.
I WAS GOING HOME.
the "other people" Great Trip Report...next time leave them home
