DAY 7 Pt. 1 Does this ride come with a warning?!
*I apologize in advance for the lack of pictures in the update. I hope you dont mind as I tell about our adventure getting to our park of choice for the day!*
Since we would be returning home the following day, we of course had to go out with a bang! And where else would we spend our final park day but
The Magic Kingdom!
As you might have remembered from my earlier post, I really prefer to start my Disney vacations at the MK. Well, I also like to end them there!
So MK was the plan for today. We were hoping for a full day there, as we had an exciting event for the evening!
This was also the day of the half-marathon at Disney. Somehow, we have managed to end up in the World during marathon time during both this trip and our trip last year (even though last year our visit was in March). We had received the typical letter from the hotel about road closures and traffic delays and decided it might be best not to attempt to drive to the park that day.
And so we headed out to the bus stop, where we were greeted with more freezing temps and
rain!
Soon enough, the bus for the MK arrived and we, along with everyone and their brother pilled on to the bus. That thing was packed! Of course, we ended up standing up.
Now, not that Im complaining about being on the bus or standing up, or anything like that
but let me just say that this attraction should have come with a warning (you know, the warning that scared me off of RnRC), because it was a wild ride, for sure!
Due to the many road closures, we took a really strange route getting to the park. For some reason, said route was the bumpiest, jerkiest ride imaginable (even worse than Dinosaur!). Im not sure if it was our driver, or maybe the uneasiness of the ride was intensified by the packed setting and standing up, but it was quite unpleasant to say the least.
I cant even count the number of times where I almost went flying to the front of the bus every time the driver would slam on the brakes. So much so, that even holding on (to the overhead rope things) with both hands wasnt enough to keep me steady.
A normal ride to the MK probably wouldnt have been so bad, but due to the congestion on the roads, it took us a grand total of
ONE HOUR
To get to the Magic Kingdom! (And that was one hour on the bus alone no waiting time factored in or anything) By the time we exited the bus, I had the worst headache and felt a little queasy. Of course being frozen and rained on wasnt really helping matters, either.
Still though, we were at the MK! On our last park day! We were determined to have a good time and savor our final moments in the parks
UP NEXT: Will our final park day be a success, or a complete failure?!
