(The cynic in me tells me that it's almost certainly powered and the wind is irrelevant.
Shut up, self.)
A magician never reveals his secrets!
Nor will I ride it on this trip, as it was down for refurb.
Refurb... Which makes sense since this ride is sooooo old.
Well, all that wear and tear really piles up over several weeks.
You'll notice that the castle is quite a distance away.
Maybe... oh... one or two hundred yards?
And yet, through the magic of Disney,
if you just walk twenty feet down the bridge,
you'll find yourself inside!
Maybe it's just a reeeeeaaaaaaaalllly long wing of the castle.
I think it makes a difference if you sashay instead of walking.
I sashayed down the length of the bridge,
avoiding all eye contact with the long line of starving patrons.
See? I knew it. You traveled that distance much faster than the others, who were just walking.
I imagined that the horde outside was piercing me with eye daggers.
At least I hope they were.
What's the point of knowing about the super secret BOG lunch ADR
if you can't gloat a little bit, am I right?
Of course I am.
I gloried in it.
I really wanted to step back outside for just a second.
You know...
So I could put my thumb on my nose, waggle my fingers
and say "Nah, nah, na-nah, nah!"
My meal? Easily the best quick service meal I've had in Disney!
Excellent! I really need to try this place someday.
I have no friends.
It's obvious even to total strangers.
Be my guest. (see what I did there?) Take my last spare chair.
The one that made it look like maybe,
MAYBE, my wife was just in the restroom.
Still...you were in Disney World, and we weren't.
They really should replace that painting though, don't you think?
What a dump. Disney really seems to be slacking off on maintenance.
Okay. Just one more of Beast's Castle, okay?
Excellent shot!
First things first though.
After downing a large glass of pop, well...
Once again, we see where Rapunzel rates.
The FP+ wasn't for a few minutes so I decided,
since I was right here already,
might as well see Mickey's P.
Uh... Maybe that's not such a great abbreviation.
Unless you have the sense of a humor of a 4th grader. Which I do. So...
Whoopsie! Somehow used up my photo allotment for this post.
How did that happen?
I'll answer in emoji form:
Although, to be honest, the rest of the parade
just wasn't as good as the earlier part.
No idea why.
Anyway, enjoy... I guess...
I don't know if it was broken or they just don't do it that often.
Either way, I did not see the dragon breathe fire.
Aw, come on! That would have been the only reason I would have stuck around for the parade.
For those that don't know, A Pirate's Adventure is similar to
the Agent P game in Epcot (or the former Kim Possible)
Ooh, I'm in!
This horror came bubbling up from his underwater crypt!
Aaaaaggghhhh!!!!
Children ran! Women screamed! Men swooned!
But I... I dove into the water and fought the foul creature.
At last I was victorious and emerged the conquering hero!
I must admit to being a trifle miffed when a passing CM
asked me to get out of the water.
Ah well, a hero's victory is its own reward.
Actually, that's pretty cool!
(I did not answer the CM's query as to why I was soaking wet.
The less she knew, the better...)
Well, I needed to see if the back side of water also had a front side.
I was pretty tough on you guys these last couple of times.
(Really, who could've possibly foreseen Pooh???)
I might have. I mean, if you had started at Taco Bell, I would have figured that Pooh would arriving soon after.
Wow! I'm kind of a jerk, aren't I!
Do you want the polite answer, or the honest one?
Let's go with Jungle Cruise.
2. Where did I eat supper?
Sticking in that area of the park, we'll say Pecos Bill's.
3. Might as well tell me what I ate.
A burger. With bacon. Real American bacon, not that Canadian stuff which we all know is just ham.
to the TR!
Your lunch choice sounds great - especially with a FP. You now have to have an ADR, even for lunch. Love the pics.
