Looks like you are off to a good start! How nice that you didn't have to wait for the Magical Express to take off. Last time I used ME we were one of the first ones on our bus and probably waited almost 45 minutes just sitting no the bus before we even left the airport. It was awful!
Love to upgrade to the woods view. That a beautiful view out your window!
Yeah, every time I walk through the queue for Nemo I just can't imagine there ever being that many people. I mean, if it was full could you even imagine what sort of a wait time it would be?? We joke that it takes 10 minutes just to walk through the queue even if it was completely empty!
Augh, I've had to wait for ME to depart, but never THAT long! I can't tell you how much I loved that room/view. It was perfect.
I KNOW about the line for Nemo. I think the same thing when I look at the line for Harry Potter & the Forbidden Journey at Universal. The longest I ever waited for that ride was about 45 minutes, but that line goes on and on! I guess that's how they accommodated the 2 hr+ lines that were common when it first opened!
Joining! Can't wait to hear all about it.
Welcome!!
I'm here!!!!!
Bummer the plane was late, but at least it made up time in the air!!
Your room looks awesome and cosy!!! Great view!!!!
I rarely take pics at DTD, so I understand!
sounds like your trip is off to an awesome start!!!
And Wahoo for short bus waits!!!!
NOW to go over to your dining report
Hey hey! Yes-- even though I didn't realize it in the moment, my delay could have been much longer than an hour, which would have been truly awful!
Joining in! I never finished my pre-trip
but hope to get started on my TR soon. Between me and Hannah I have about 700 pictures to go through, plus over 100 on photo pass. Sounds like your trip started great... I'm sure you'll be commenting about the rain soon!
Cheryl
Whenever you start your TR, I'll be there! Actually, the rain didn't really affect us! We seemed to be conveniently inside whenever it started, except for one time that I'll discuss!
Yay! I told you rubbing Humphrey's nose would pay off. I did it when we toured the WL lol.
I can't wait until we play the Canucks. I know a lot of people hate Torts but I am not one of them. I respect what he did for our team (the guy took us to the conf finals, how can I hate him?) and he cracked me up with the media. I'm looking forward to a fresh start this season though.
Sounds like a great day in Epcot!
Thanks for the tip!
I absolutely loved Torts. For the people who bashed him, did the Rangers do better or worse than previous years under Torts? Yeah, that's what I thought!
Also, agreed. I looked forward to his interviews almost as much as the games themselves haha.
Welcome, thanks for joining in!!
subscribing!!!!!!!! All of these trip reports are making me more excited for our vacation coming up in Feb! Can't wait to read more!
Thanks for subscribing!! Yay, reading TRs before a trip has that same effect for me!
I'm here! Do you feel honored that this is the first time I've logged in since May? Hahaha
Can't wait to read all about your trip!
Wow, I do feel honored! I thought you dropped off the face of the Dis earth hahaha.
Hiii! It's definitely my favorite resort now, too! I feel like I cannot properly articulate how much I loved it. Thankfully, Zach thought it was amazing too and doesn't ever want to stay anywhere else!!
Enjoying your report. Joining in.
Thank you! Welcome!
I love the DTD is so great that you just NEED time there too. In case there isn't enough merch and food at the parks and resorts.
I LOVE IT THOUGH. And it sounds like it's just going to get better and better!
I hate the queue for Nemo & Friends! It never seems to end and I've never even stopped in it! Some walk-on's are walk through the line and then stop and wait for a ride veh or two, but this one is like hike for miles and never stop to rest until you are inside a clam. And if it wasn't that, I wouldn't ride it.
Love me some Turtle Talk and Bruce though!
So glad you liked Biergarten! The atmosphere is amazing! I adore it. I'm a little too picky for everything there, but the stuff I liked I loved!
Also, hooray for bus luck!
I am SO excited for the additions to DTD! I really feel like a lot of the restaurants & shops are a total waste of space (Bongos, I'm looking at you.) I LOVE food trucks, too, so that'll be awesome.
Haha, I feel the same about Nemo! I practically need to catch my breath when I finally sit in the clam!
I feel the same about Biergarten-- there are things there I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole (the sausages/sauerkraut/cold meats), but I LOVED what I did try.
Okay, I got caught up.
We had a super early flight for our July trip also. I love getting there early, but man. Waking up at 3am is rough! I feel your pain.
Nice that your room was ready! I love it when they're ready early.
Nothing like the first park of the trip. The benefit of waking up at the crack of dawn.
Biergarten is one of my absolute favorites. We have never been disappointed there.
Yeah, those early starts are rough but totally worth it! I was shocked (and so happy) our room was ready. A benefit of going in the slow season!
Biergarten is definitely a must do from now on for us. I just hope we get blessed with equally awesome tablemates in the future!
