Park report - 10-23

[WonkaKid]

I had a strong start to my day today. Crowds were moderate - the lowest I’ve seen in several weeks. PP was down when the early entry folks flowed into FL and it didn’t open until about 8:04. I managed to be first on it, which is something I haven’t done in awhile.

I rode Matterhorn, which was the first time I’d been on it since the refurb. Last week the SR line was at least 30 mins long but today I was on the ride in about ten minutes.

On Buzz, I broke 2M on one gun and nearly did so on a second. I would have done it on both but I lost track of my score. My big regret is that I forgot to wave at the camera or do some silly flex. Oh well - missed opportunity.

The cheese pic? I found a hidden Mickey in the cheese I picked up from Trader Joe’s this evening. Good omen, I’m sure.

Always enjoy your reports Rob! How was Matterhorn?

Great to see a report from you, Rob! Was wondering where you’d been…but where are my goodie pics? LOL. You usually always include some treats of some kind.

Any lingering symptoms from COVID? I hope not.

I will be there first week in December and will look for you at PP.

Thanks for your report! Great pictures! Glad you got on Peter Pan, I was wondering how hard that would be with all the EE guests.

lol at finding a hidden 'Mouse' in a piece of cheese. That's the only kind of mouse I'd want in my cheese!

Love the sweet doggo in her Minnie get-up.

It was fun. Hadn’t been on it in awhile.

Forgot to get goodie pics. Will post the next time .

No lingering COVID issues, thankfully. I plan to be back at the park tomorrow .

Yes, please say hello if you see me in December.

Generally speaking, it’s not practical any longer. Most days when we get into the park, the line is already far too long. Got lucky last Sunday. We were first on it a few months ago as well when a CM opened the rope for us and let us in early.

Thanks, good to know. There will be 8 of us the end of November and 4 have never been ( a 5 and 9 yr old ) and trying to figure out what ride to rope drop. The kids will walk slower so I guess we'll just have to see how they do and hit what we can.

If it's important to you/them to do Fantasyland, you can easily get on Dumbo and Mr. Toad at rope drop without much of a wait. Also, only FL and TL are open to early entry guests. If you rope-drop any of the other lands, you'll be on equal footing with everyone else. So you can go to Haunted Mansion or, indeed, SWL first and have a good chance of a strong placement in line. Good luck!

Here you go - from today! Also - bonus of me in my Halloween costume .

 

[Pluto468]

Love your costume! The treats look wonderful

 

[WonkaKid]

Thank you! A few more pics from last night at LA’s Haunted Hayride.

Oh, wonderful shots, Rob…you look so cheerful! I bet you passed out chocolate bars, too…

Double thanks for all the treats pics, to…everything looks yummy..those apples look great. They do such a wonderful job with the decorating on the treats.

I cant eat much of it but I sure like to look, even when I am there in person.

I didn’t yesterday. But I did today. I was dressed as an Oompa Loompa .
