Here Now Report - MLK Weekend

[DisneyDoc1895]

Lunchtime. Interesting dynamic today. TT still down as is Ellen's (refurb). This is dumping a lot of people in other areas. Mission Space is a reported 90 min wait per the time board, but Soarin was listed as only 55 min. Weird. The land has a 20 min wait but the line is wrapping around the tables at Seasons. But seems to be moving. A nicer, warmer day walking around.

Gosh...
Sitting here in PHX wearing UGGS.
We leave on the 27th and I'm bringing UGGS,pashminas,sweats and my giant Jack hoodies.
Love the live reports!

 

[DisneyDoc1895]

TT up. Line almost to innovations, but pretty much no FPers so moving ok. 30min wait posted, maybe a bit longer. We decided to do it now - may be too cold later!

Thanks for all the updates Ken. This is great! We leave next Saturday. Have a great trip!

We fly out of Pittsburgh tomorrow at 11:00am. It is -10 degrees today and all schools are closed (we are 2 hrs north of pitts.). I'm really hoping it warms up a bit down there. I need some sun so I can thaw out. Thanks for your live report, I think I need to do a little repacking tonight.

Sounds like you are having a good time... I wish I was there right now myself... It is 15 degrees here in Boston right now and I am freezing.....
How much longer until Spring....

 

[Maine-iac]

Another DC Diser here! I am so glad to be heading down to WDW tomorrow too! It is getting crazy around here. I have talked to so many people from here headed to Disney this weekend. We should have a Dis Meet at Dulles.

Just curious....will they be closing schools in the area Monday and Tuesday?
Great way for you all to escape.

Yes, it is a school holiday this Monday and Tuesday AND the following Monday and Tuesday. By missing school just Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we can get a very long Disney vacation.

makes me cold just looking at the pics... I still wish I was there instead of here!!! LOL!

Whats the construction of?!?!? Did they say?

As the PP stated I think it is for the Stitch party show that they are going to have. They are also really redoing the restrooms in Tomorrowland across from the Speedway next to the ice cream store. It was all gutted out last week when I was there and it looked like the stage (oh the name just slipped my mind but it is the one that they use for choirs and bands) looked like it was blocked too from the TTA view and something being done there too. I wonder if they are sprucing up Tomorrowland alittle bit.

Thanks so much for the live updates! It's great to have an idea of how it will be when we get there in about a week! (And thanks for making me realize we will need jackets!)

 

[TravelinMommy]

Once again the weather has changed...I definitely learned to not trust the weather till the day of...

Definitely bring the jackets...looks like the "warmest" day will be Sunday...then it cools down and is high in the low 60's the rest of the week.


All I hope for is no rain...and no breeze, a breeze can change a temp quite a bit

It is indeed flippin' cold here (although I say that as a thin-blooded FL transplant). We were thinking about going to DHS tomorrow to see Idol but between the weather and crowds I might wimp out.

 

[Starr W.]

We were at MK for rope drop this morning and went back in the evening. It was really dead until about 11:30-noon. In both trips today we managed to ride SM 5x.

Guess Brazilian Tour groups, cheerleaders and soccer players don't get up in the morning.

Will be interesting to see how the weekend pans out, compared to last year.

 

[DisneyDoc1895]

Morning!

We were at EPCOT last night, very manageable crowds - would not call it overly busy We'll see what happens today. We plan on AK today and may park hop a bit tomorrow (just to say we did it!). Here are some pics from yesterday:

Lunch at Seasons:

Crowd pics - I think about 2pm or so:

Disney brought out tables with hats and mittens:

When they opened TT: Long line but it really was only about 20-25 mintes - moved fast!

 

[blessedby3]

Wow, the park pictures dont look crowded at all- I guess thats because everyone is in the Sunshine Seasons
That place is packed!
Glad you are having a great time.

oh brother..... last week, the MK was just about empty on Tuesday.....yesterday,the 16th,we were just riding the monorail loop-and... oh,the people!!!!
I've never been on the monorail where so many people were jammed in, between Mk,Epcot,and TTC........ I think it's going to be busy this weekend.....

 

[DisneyDoc1895]

AK report. Busy but not crazy. We're waiting for the 1130 Nemo show, walked right in at 11am and could pick front row. It is 1120 now and still seats open. Got an EE FP - 30 min wait, FP for 120p gotten at 11am. Lots of tour groups. Got behind one feeding 50 tickets into the FP machine. I picked another line. Beautiful weather - still chilly, but sunny and nice in the sun. High is supposed to be 64 - might struggle to get there - seems like upper 50s now.

 

[DisneyTigers]

How much are the Mickey hats and gloves? They are too cute!!

Can't wait to see more pics! I go in two weeks!
