Did the event at Epcot last night.
For reference, we went to the first event last year. It was such a bad event that I swore I would never do it again. Apparently, I have really bad amnesia and decided to risk it again this year.
This experience was exponentially better than our first. My only gripe with the evening was that they did not open Guardians until 10 o’clock. It seems they had some sort of other group in the park during that hour that was able to ride guardians, but nobody with an after hours pass was. This definitely put a hangup in things, as we plan to start there. However, we quickly pivoted and had a great evening.
We actually flew in yesterday, so we were pretty exhausted. We made it till just past midnight. We could’ve easily ridden more rides if we had wanted to. However, my girls and I had such a wonderful time. Guardians was often posted at 30 to 35 minutes, but we found it was closer to 20 most times that we wrote it. Test track was nearly a walk on. We did frozen, but we decided it wasn’t worth the walk to Remi’s, as we had already put in over 20,000 steps yesterday.
We got to the park around 5 o’clock after traveling all day (and getting to our hotel around 4) and did several rides before our dinner reservation. Unfortunately, we got caught up on a ride in the front of the park, and then had to run all the way to Italy. We were about 20 minutes late, but they still let us have our reservation at Via Napoli. We officially started our night after that, about an hour before the event actually started.
I would definitely do this event again, as our goal was to ride guardians as many times as possible. I am still waiting to get Conga, as I think I have now gotten every other song on this ride. Hopefully we will get it tomorrow when we go back to visit the park for a bit!
