We had a great trip and loved the parks, but I have to say.....things really seem to be breaking down a LOT more than they used to. In one day we had 3 rides break down that we were on....having to be walked out of 2 of those. It was kind of neat to see the inside of space mountain with the lights on though! It took a pretty long time for anyone to come get us out. I wasn't too worried once cars on the other track quit running. Before that I was a bit nervous that one would come and hit us.

The extra magic hours in the evenings were very well verified for admittance and for ride entry. That made the ride lines long because everyone's wrist bands were under their coats. But, it was a fairly quiet night and we enjoyed getting to stay out late in the off season, something we hadn't gotten to do before.

So, while a good time, I do wonder about 3 things breaking down on us in a day. Maybe we're magnets for bad luck, maybe they aren't spending quite as much on maintence as they used to. I had to laugh because when we were being evacuated from one of the rides, one parent was yelling to their child, "Do you need to go to the hospital?" I'm just guessing someone was hoping for a comped trip!
 
Maybe it IS just your bad luck....we just returned and never had a ride break down on us. Sorry for you...that could be scary.

I've been on TTA when Space is broken and, thus, completely lit up. For a scaredy-cat like me, it was a bit daunting. It's quite the roller coaster when you can see it in the light! But I have gone back on it many times since my kids LOVE it.
 
We had similar experiences when we were there late Nov into Dec this year. We got walked out of BTMRR...that was actually pretty cool. Then TT broke down every single time we went to ride it. 3 times we were seated in the car and it stopped!!! Space Mt. had a problem so we weren't allowed in. Same thing with RnRC. But, we still had a great time.
