We're here now and this is how our day went. 9:00 a.m park opening. Went directly to PP (less than 5 minutes), then to Mr. Toad (less than 5 minutes), Snow White (walk on), and Pinnochio (walk on). (alice, and tea cups closed due to rain (didn't feel like riding Dumbo and Story books in the rain). Went over to Small World (another walk on). Went to Nemo (had to wait for a sub to unload then we loaded, so maybe 5-8 minutes?).
Went and did Space (about 8 minutes to get through cue), Buzz (about 5 minutes). Didn't feel like doing Star Tours or Astro orbiter. I believe we were done with all of that by about 10:30 ish.
Went and got Indy fp's (not needed we found out later) then went over to DCA, had lunch, no wait for Soarin, did Turtle Talk, Monsters Inc and walked around the shops some. (we're doing DCA tomorrow and didn't want to do too much today).
Went back to DL, did JC, Indy (twice, walk through the 1/4 mile cue but walk on once you got to through it), Pirates, and Haunted Mansion. We skipped Splash because we don't like to do that in cold weather (we come every month or so from Colorado, so something missed isn't a big deal).
It started raining harder, so we decided to stop at the bakery, grab a cookie and hot chocolate to split and head back to the room. All this accomplished by about 3:30 at the latest (I think we got back to the room about then, we're at Dessert Inn).
Right now it's POURING. It had started to get worse about the time we left with the wind picking up, but now it's just really pouring.
I didn't hear anything about park closure as we left so early, but, it wouldn't surprise me with the crowd level and amount of rain. It was absolutely DEAD at that park. We love it like that though. The lack of strollers alone makes the walkways easier to manage.
ALOT of construction going on. If you're coming soon, be prepared for that. Rivers of America is blocked, Tomorrow Land Terrace is closed, and Hollywood Blvd has blockades down the whole center, so you must break off to one side or the other to narrow passages to get through that area.
For smokers who have not been in a while (these have changed since December when we were here), the smoking area under the monorail tracks near small world has moved back to where it was before Nemo was finished. The Tom Sawyer area has moved next to the Haunted Mansion near the fountain, near where you would enter to get a FP when the machines are open.
If anyone has any questions, let me know.
p.s. If you are coming this weekend, dress WARM
