Just back, a few opinions

[auntyjenn]

I had never been on Tower of Terror before and it was so awesome! I laughed all the way through it, then when it stopped people were looking at me funny because I was still laughing.

Mission Space was fun, but I barely made it through without being sick. The kids rode it twice in a row, and would have ridden it again. Kids.

Mickey's Philharmagic is the best 3D movie hands down.

The Little Mermaid was much better than I expected. I almost skipped it because it was described to me as a cutsie puppet show. It was more like a big fun puppet show with great effects.

I'm usually more of a ride person, but I liked all the shows we saw especially Beauty and the Beast.

I'm glad it was warm enough (80 on Thursday January 12th) to ride Kali River Rapids over and over. It was too short to go just once.

Going in January was great. We didn't even get to Fronteirland until 10am Saturday (the 7th?) and we rode Splash Mountain and Thundermountain two times each with no wait. The best thing was never worrying about a show being full. None of them were. They didn't even offer fast passes on some rides they usually do because you didn't need them.

I had to see everything, and we only had a week, so its a good thing the parks all closed early, or we would all be dead. Good thing we had a long weekend to recover.

Fastpasses are the best.

Glad you had a great time! We are going Feb 3-11 and hope to have good luck w/ lines and waits like you did. Welcome Home

Thanks for the awesome review! We're leaving on Friday! You said you rode Kali without getting cold, I'm glad because I was kinda worried about that. Thanks for all the positive comments!

I love Beauty and the Beast: Live on Stage! It's my favorite daytime show!

Glad you had a good trip!

I love to hear these reviews....my DH loves ToT and took me and my DS(9 at the time) on it. He yelled the whole time "hold me down momma". I laughed till I cried but more because he was so funny abuot "holding him down". We decided this ride was not for us - but we may just get up enough nerve to do it one more time ...

Did you do any EMHs? We're leaving the 25th and I'm still trying to decide whether to avoid em or flock to em.

Thanks!

Going in January was great.

I completely agree. We were there last week and on the weekdays, we got to the parks when they first opened and were able to ride everything multiple times with no waits. I would never go in the summer again.

We did not do any EMH except for Blizzard Beach.

Does the Little Mermaid and Beauty have showtimes?

 

[hogwartsdropout]

Totally agree about the Tower of Terror, it's fantastic isn't it? I'm always shaking with nerves during it. But as soon as we drop, my DF and I laugh all the way down!

Thanks!

I did EMH at Magic Kingdom on Sunday-- it was great The waits in Fantasyland were still rather long, but other than that we had no trouble riding what we wated. We left at 10:30, but I would imagine that waits during the last hour were minimal.

We didn't do any EMH's because we stayed off-property, but we would not have made it any later or earlier than we did. We were only there one week and we went to a park every day except Sunday (and our flight didn't leave until 5:00pm, so we even went half day to a park before we left). We had a bunch of kids with us and crashed the second we got back to the resort whether the park had closed that day at 9pm or 7pm.

Beauty and the Beast has times posted (but only three shows in the slow season). Little Mermaid shows every 20 minutes or so.

If you ride Kali River don't go to Lion King right after. We froze to death. It would have been better before the safari ride. We were getting pretty warm by then (at 11am it was almost 80 degrees, wooh, hoo!)
