UGHHHH! Is ALL i have to say about this trip! We decided to go the night before, and didnt think it would be too busy, i was wrong.
Here Are The Step-By-Step Disasters
1. We went to DCA first, we figuered it wouldnt be to busy, because it was DCA. We went on Monsters Inc. First. I had never been on it before, so i was excited. The little screens broke down about 2 seconds into the ride. That wasnt a very big disaster, but it did kill the excitement of never being on it before.
2.Than we headed straight to TSM. i waited an hour because it kept breaking down. That sucked. Right before i got on, the CMs opened up the bottom of hour car, where all the electrical wires are stored. Than he quickley shut it and i heard the woman CM whisper, "Unless the guests complain about it, just keep loading them on,". I was suspicious but got on anyway. Well, it turns out, our guns didnt work, at all. After we got off we had to wait twenty minutes until they let us on. THe worst part was, that they put people right on the broken car we were in, without even fixing it. That slowed us down about 2 hours.
3.We than got stuck on the sun wheel for 45 minutes. With no explanation. It kinda sucks having the ride stop while at the freezing top for ever!
4. Than we went on Screamin got lunch and went over to DL. Bad Idea.
5. There must have been 600,000 people there that day. We did NOT want to even attempt to walk down main street, so we RAN to the train, and we slowed down as we saw it wasnt very full, we get to the gate and start thanking the conductor for waiting for us and right before we walked through, he shut it on us. With nearly HALF the train EMPTY. His name was TJ. And he told us the New Orleans Square station was closed. So we began our twenty minute walk down Main St.
6.We went over to BTMR to find out that Splash and Space were both temporairoly closed, making the paths unwalkable. The line For BTMR was literally an hour long. But, we waited in it.
6. After that we headed over to HMH. The wait was two hours and twenty minutes. We just passed that right up.
7. The only place to find refuge was Pirates Island. Which we waited in a half our line for. Once on, i got stuck in one of the claustrophibic 1 ft by 1 ft cave, mind you im not big, and i hit my head and started bleeding. My water bottles both broke open, soiling my water, making me buy the overpriced 4 dollar water. My pants were brown when i left the "island".
8. By then splash and space were reopened, so it was a little better. We went in a 30 minute line for POTC. You know its a busy day in DL when you have to wait that long for Pirates.
9. Than we got in line for Indy, which was 55 minutes, reasonable for the parks business. About halfway through the outside line, these girls dressed up in inapropriate minnie mouse costumes let 10 of her friends cut her. I was so pissed. I screamed REALLY! right in her face. But i did get on the ride before her.
. What was weird about the ride was that right before the boulder drop, the whole rooms decor was gone, it was just a blank white room, wierd!
10. After this we went on the juingle cruise, matterhorn, casey jr., and left.
Another crazy thing was HOW MANY things were closed. The pirate boat, part of the train, the plaza pavillion, Fantasmic, Not to mention Splash Space Indy and The Matterhorn were all temporaroly closed, and all the old McDonalds stands were under countruction, as well as Its A Small world. In DCA a lot of rides were closed because of the wind.
What was the worst about this trip was how MEAN all the CMS were to me! One did comment on how she liked my McCain sticker, though,

URK! It was a disaster, but its funny to look back at. I guess i wont go on columbus day weekend anymore.
