The One...The Only... PURPLE WALL
It was time for us to visit Dumbo the Flying Elephant!
I sound like a broken record but again, we basically walked on Dumbo as well. We went on the right hand side Dumbo and we were handed little purple plastic cards by one cast member then handed them to another CM when we got on the ride. I’ve never done that before and I was curious why they did that. Maybe as a way for the CM’s to keep track of the number of guests that need seats per ride?
I just decided to try and take a picture of us with my DSLR and think it turned out so cute!
I always feel like I get so hyped for Dumbo and then it lasts for like 30 seconds and then it’s over. But we made the most of those 30 seconds by singing Moana songs and waving excitedly to all the people on the ground. We’re actually children.
Continuing with our theme of kiddie rides, we just popped on over to the Barnstormer!
I was so excited to do this one because I haven’t ridden it since my very first trip when I was 8! I used to absolutely hate roller coasters so this was a HUGE deal for me and I remember it being so fast and scary.
We got through the line pretty quick and even got to move up in line because a CM was looking for a group of two. So, we get on this ride, and I’m expecting it to be super fast and fun… and then I blinked and it was over. I literally turned to Rachel and was like “.... wait, is it over?”. THAT RIDE IS THE SHORTEST RIDE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER.
Isn’t that so funny how you remember something feeling like an eternity when you’re a kid and then when you come back as an adult it’s so different?
So anyway after that epic letdown, we decided it was about time to get some caffeine in our system. It was now a little after 9:00AM so we got 5 meet and greets and 3 rides done in just an hour. EMH people, they save lives.
We decided to take a detour on our way to Main Street through Tomorrowland! There was a CM handing out stickers and when we went to get one, he saw Rachel’s birthday button and stuck out his hand as if to shake it and said “happy birthday!” and when she went to shake it, he pulled his hand back and said “SIKE!”. Both of us were like: “Whaaat?”.
We kinda just awkwardly left after that and headed past Monsters Laugh Floor and made a left to the Tomorrowland Terrace.
Why did we go that way? Because it was time for me to meet THE FAMOUS PURPLE WALL.
HELLO.
*que paparazzi camera clicking noises*
If you don’t know, this purple wall has become a super popular background for pictures for among cool Disney-World-Social-Media-Famous people. I’m not even sure who started this trend but it’s actually fantastic because the lighting is always so good in that spot!
Here’s what you see with your back is facing the wall just in case you’re having trouble trying to place the exactly location of this famous wall.
We took a lot of fun spinning pictures and Boomerangs until we were finally satisfied. Then Rachel just had to snap a picture of the castle because this area has a pretty awesome view of it!
