Hi everyone! Looks like I ended up abandoning this report after all. This TR felt like work, life became busy (tornado hitting our neighborhood in October and associated repairs, DH traveling all of December, broken pipe flooding our house two days before Christmas, coronavirus, deciding to repaint and remodel some things during the initial quarantine phases, etc) When I was ready to get back to Disney excitement, shutdowns really ramped up and the excitement went away. Looking at anything Disney (or other trip - we had to cancel our planned July trip to Monterrey/Big Sur) related made me super sad. As Universal parks and Disney Springs began reopening, I've been able to find some happiness and excitement about my favorite places again. I will finish this report, but it won't be as detailed as normal, and it will be quick. I just can't stand to leave it undone and sitting there in my signature!
We do have a trip booked at the Polynesian for next June, and unless we're in full on Mad Max mode by then, I will be there even if we have to reserve 10 minute time slots just to sit still in a taped off circle on Main Street.
Chapter Five Part Two
My last post was last AUGUST. Wow. Let's see if I remember anything!! I had just left It's a Small World...
Going by pictures, it looks like I hit Philharmagic next. Yep. Sounds like something I'd do!!
In our non-Disney life, we go to the movies a LOT. It's one thing I've missed doing (yay overpriced popcorn and enormous diet cokes too big to finish!!). So it's fun to think about sitting in Philharmagic a year ago, listening to my favorite 90s Disney classics while wearing poorly fitting 3D glasses. I can't wait to do it again!!
Ok, going back through these pictures is bringing my memory back in a big way. I already have a crazy memory anyway (I remember what my friend was wearing on our first day of kindergarten, and can exactly visualize playing on a slip and slide with my neighbor when I was three. I'm a freak)
I was trying to kill some time before my FPs. Originally when this particular trip was planned, DH was supposed to be with me (which you'll know if you started this from the beginning now when it pops up in New Posts, but maybe not if you started this at the beginning and forgot because I haven't updated it in ELEVEN MONTHS), and I did not have a pass for Mine Train. He doesn't love cramming into the little seats. Once it was just me, and I saw a FP available, I grabbed it. Snow White is my thing!
When you need to kill time, New Fantasyland (is anyone still calling it that?) is a great place because New Fantasyland has Gaston's Tavern, and Gaston's Tavern has.....LeFou's Brew!
New Fantasyland also has a ride with a shell and a red haired girl who seems cool when you're young, but then maybe a little bratty when you're old like me
(no hate, I had Little Mermaid pants AND a lunchbox in 3rd grade)
I really do love everything about the outside and queue of Voyage of the Little Mermaid!!
After hanging out under the sea (the cool, cool, air conditioned sea), I made it over to my Buzz FP. Spinning happened, laser shooting happened, general fun was had by all (
I was all). I have one picture from this: the score. Since I'm just copying and pasting images in which will limit photos, I'll just tell you the score instead. 179,200. Is this good or bad? Does anyone care? No.
Guess where I went next?
My swollen ankles say PeopleMover!
We've all seen updated photos of Tron by now, but here's what it looked like last June:
I'm incredibly excited for this to be finished and ready to go!
Ok, it's already kicking me out for photos so, next post coming right up!
