Now my last day at DL during the Halloween season on Sunday Oct. 3rd, 2010.
My DC and I woke up 6:30 am and were planning on going over to DL for MM while my DA didn't want to go to the park first thing in the morning so we just let her sleep in the hotel.
We left the GCH and head on over to DL for MM. We got to the park around 7:05 am and I was about to use my premier pass for the first time in DL. When I showed them my pass, they said that there is no picture in the data. I told them that I have a picture since I was a premium AP holder and I just upgraded my pass on Saturday. She said to go to the AP center to get it fixed. I was wondering why should I go first thing in the morning during MM. I just ignored her and plan to use our MM wisely.
When we got in, it wasn't that crowded just as Saturday. The first thing we did was to get on PP. We only had to wait 5 minutes to get on PP. Than we head on over to Matterhorn mountain and it was just a few minutes to get on. After that we head on over to Tomorrowland and got back on SMGG. We only had to wait 5 minutes to get on SMGG. Than we went on the FNSV.
It was almost 8am and we decided to get over to Adventureland and get on Indy first thing in the morning. When We walked over to Adventureland, we saw the non-MM guests waiting by the MS USA stores to enter the other lands.
It was 8am and we went straight toward Indy and we had to wait awhile since it was not opened yet. We had to wait a couple of minutes until the CMs let everyone on the ride. We only had to wait a couple of minutes to get on Indy. After that we went on POTC, it was just a walk up like all the rides in the morning. After that we went on the DLRR at the NOS station and we got on the C.K. Holliday with Holiday 4 set and also the Lily Belle was attached to the train. We rode the train until we got to Tomorrowland.
We got off the DLRR and went to catch the monorail and head on over to DTD.
When we got off the monorail at DTD it was time to head on over to DCA and get FP for WoC. Especially we didn't need to get FP since we will be leaving in a few hours, but I always like to collect FP for my scrapbook. I still have my WoC FP on the first night to the public on June 11, 2010.
When we got back into the GCH and were heading on over to the entrance, we had to show them our room key since we are guests at the DL hotels. When we got to the gate and I gave them my premier pass and once again it still is having trouble of letting me in the park. The CM said that I don't have a picture on the card and I need to get one. I told her that the premier doesn't need a picture on the card but in their system. So she let me in the park and we head on over to GRR and get FP for WoC.
When my DC and I were about to get our FP, her ticket was fine but my ticket had a problem and said that it wasn't scan when I got i the park. As you all know, if you want to get a WoC FP, you got to have your ticket scan when you enter the park. I told them that they scan the ticket when we got in and they said that it wasn't scan properly. He said that I should go to the AP center and see if my premier was working. I was so frustrated since my premier wasn't scan and register that I was in the park today.
So my DC and I left DCA and head on back to DL so I could find out what is going on with the premier. We got back to DL around 9:30am and the first thing I did was to go to the AP center at the Plaza Pavilion and see what it going on with my premier. My DC went to the Emporium and I told her not to buy anything until I came back with my AP so she could get the discount. I went to the Plaza Pavilion and the CM ask what was the problem, I said that my premier didn't show my picture and it wouldn't let me in the parks. When they checked it out they can see my picture clearly and said that the premier should work with np. I ask again that there won't be any problems, they said that it won't be a problem. I took her words and I still don't believe what the CM said back at the Plaza Pavilion.
I left the Plaza Pavilion and went to get my DC at the Emporium. She found a lot of nice clothing for her family and friends. So we head on over to the check-out register and I hand them my AP and once again the system won't accept my AP until we wait for the manager and gave us the discount.
After we left the Emporium, I told her that I want to go over to DCA and back to the AP center in Greetings at California store and see what is the problem with my premier.
When we got to DCA and inside Greetings at California store, my DC went around the store while I went to the AP center. I told them the same situation at DL and the Plaza Pavilion and once again the CM at the DCA AP center said the same thing and it should be fine. I told them that it wasn't fine and I had to wait for the manager at the stores to give me the discount and I couldn't get FP for WoC. Since the whole park was open there was no point on going back to GRR and get a FP.
My DC and I left the store and I was still irate that the premier was not working. It was around 10:15 am and it was time for us to leave DL and go back home to Sacramento. We went back to the GCH park entrance and went back to the room and packed up all of our stuff.
It was around 10:45 am when we left the GCH and head on back to Sacramento.
It was a great trip and a frustrating trip. It was great to go to DL during the Halloween season and I got to thank Sherry and all the other DISers on the Halloween Thread for all the information. MHP was outstanding and I want to do it again in the near future. Everything went as plan as I have thought except for the premier. It was just so disappointing that it wasn't scan when I enter the park properly, get FP for WoC and the merchandise discount. But overall it was a great trip.
Now I am planning my trip for WDW on December 10 - 17, 2010. This is my first time going to WDW during the Holiday season. Mostly in the past, I always go to DL during the Holiday season. But since my last trip to
WDW in March/April 2010 my family got vouchers for free round trip tickets to anywhere in the US from United Airlines. While my dad had got timeshares left for this year, he used the remainder of his timeshare for a trip to WDW in December for my birthday. My DA and I will be going to DL during the Holiday season and I am very excited. I will have a TR for the WDW trip and hope everything goes well.
