E-Ride 05/31/04 report

[pga]

We are currently at DisneyWorld. Last night we went to e-ride at magic kingdom. We were able to ride splash mountain, big thunder mountain, haunted mansion, mickey phil-har-magic very easily with no wait. The lines for peter pan, whinny the pooh were long so we did not even try to ride them. We went on space mountain and it was so hot going into the ride I thought I was going to pass out. They turn the air conditioner off on one side and the part to walk through the ride and they only had one side open. I was very disapointed in this ride. After we went on it we went back to the contemporary. O we rode buzz and the wait was very short for it.

We are arriving on Friday and hoping to go to e-ride Friday night. I was wondering how the Fanatsyland lines would be. Thanks for the report.

We're also doing E-Ride night Friday night. I think we'll leave Fantasyland until later that night and hope the lines are shorter!

We also attended e-ride night on May 31. It was unbelievably HOT (the whole weekend was....temps near 100). We hot Tomorrowland right after Wishes and walked right onto Buzz, literally. After that the line was longer, but not awful. We didn't ride Space Mt., but from what we heard more than once, the wait never got shorter than 20 minutes and only one side was open. We never got back to Tomorrowland to see if the line for Buzz actually got better or worse. We didn't ride Winnie the Pooh, the wait was 10-15 minutes, definitely not a walk-on. The lines for Peter Pan got shorter as the night wore on--we walked onto it around 11:30. Haunted Mansion was a walk-on, as was Thunder Mt. and Mickey's Philharmagic. According to Deb's site, the Country Bears should have been open, but it wasn't. We didn't ride Splash Mt, so I don't know about the waits, but I got the impression that it wasn't bad at all.

We had no trouble finding food--several popcorn and ice cream vendors were set up, Pecos Bill's was open for a while, as was Cosmic Ray's and Casey's.

it was HOT. did I mention that?

Glad to see that they are keeping some of the food available. Last June we went expecting to be able to feed the kids after fireworks and found no place open.
