We were in MK last night, and it seemed to be one of those rare nights where nothing was going right for them. I would not like to have been a CM last night, or even today.
Got there around 4:00pm. Had FP+ for Peter Pan. Down. Our MDE automatically updated our FP+ to give us other choices. Fine. Head over to Pooh. Down. Forget it. Waited in line for Small World, about 20ish minutes, not bad. As we're walking around after that, we see them evacuating PeopleMover.
Around 6:30ish, we head for our FP+ at SM. Must have been down earlier, because the FP+ line was literally all the way out the ride and past the Briar Patch. Never mind, we don't have 45+ minutes to wait for FP+.
Do a few other things, then head back to Peter Pan to try FP+ again. In line, and down it goes. Wait 10 minutes for them to try to restart it. No dice. Leave, and as we're walking past PeopleMover, guess what...see it at a dead stop again.
Get a spot at 8:30pm for parade, right by Hall of Presidents. Announcement at 8:55pm that parade is "delayed". Doesn't start until about 9:25pm.
This is one of the times we were very thankful to be AP holders and have spent a lot of time in MK, so we took it all in stride and knew other things to do. I will also say that in our experience, with all of the days we've spent at WDW, this was the first time we've seen things THAT bad. This is very rare. But ugh...I'd hate to have been a CM last night. Even this morning won't be fun, as I'm sure they'll have a lot of very angry people. We're on our way to MK right now, we'll see what it's like... If it's not super crowded at Guest Relations, we'll see if we can at least get one FP+ to make up for the several we missed yesterday.
