I got to the gates at 7:17, which is about as fast as anyone can get there from M&Fs (I was the first on the tram walkway there). Despite this, the lines were already at least seven people deep. That made me wonder if today would be especially busy. Rope drop also felt crammed. However, as the day wore on, crowds never felt too thick.
I was first on PP and for the second week in a row, I wasn’t aware of anyone running. I was with some friends at the rope and they came and joined me and we shared a galleon
.
The past week has been really good for me and a number of cool things happened. In an apparent continuation of that trend, I scored a whopping 2,096,100 on my very first round of Buzz! What’s good about that is, as many of you know, if you exceed 2,096,900 (or somewhere around there. No one seems to know the exact number), your score will reset. So right out of the gate I got virtually the highest score possible, a score which was exceptionally unlikely to be beaten. A few rides later I broke 2M again, so it was a great day, Buzz-wise.
Around 10:30 I rode Pirates, which was perhaps a seven-minute wait. Overall, it was a good day.
One interesting thing I learned: I spoke with a friend who’s a security CM. He told me that about 95% of his time is devoted to answering various park questions for guests. The remaining 5% is consumed by removing problematic guests. He also mentioned that geocaching is becoming increasingly popular at the park and today someone had removed a brick on or near Main Street and hid some cash beneath it. They’re not happy with guests doing that sort of thing, as you might imagine.
I’ve got park maps, if anyone would like a set. Simply message me with your preferred mailing address (domestic only, please... unless you can make a compelling case).
