Day 6: MK
This was our 2nd Day at MK we previously went this past Tuesday. Once again we decided to sleep in enjoy our house and the amenities that came with it before doing the afternoon to close at MK. Drove to MK (10 min) and was able to park two rows from the very front entrance where people walk down the ramp. Security guard at the bottom of the monorail ramp enforcing people to put on masks to ride monorail. We check the app and noticed wait times around 1PM were all under 30 minutes except for 7DMT, JC, Splash. The crowd seemed very light compared to Tuesday at MK.
We went straight to Space Mountain with a 25 min wait then walked right on People Mover then walked on Carousel. After Carousel we did AO that has a post 40 min wait but was 15 min. Went to Buzz with a 25 min wait then the Speedway with a 15 min wait.
Teacups was next with 5 min wait, then Pooh 30 min wait. We then walked across to do 7DMT for a solid 60 min wait. Haunted Mansion was next with a 25 min wait but was excited to see that the stretching room is back!!! (was not used this past Tuesday), The virtual que is still not open in HM.
Next up was Sleepy Hollow for Corndogs and Funnel Cakes. The Corndogs were really greasy almost to the point where it felt like the oil was not hot enough and the batter just absorbed alot of the grease.
Walked to Splash and had a solid 45 min wait and got soaked. Had about an hour left before park close and decided to do PotC which was a walk on and then did Jungle Cruise with a 25 min wait. We made it off the ship with 10 minutes til park closed and got a Dole Whip at Aloha Isle and then did the Carpets.
As we were walking out we went into the Emporium and proceeded to spend what Richard Gere in "Pretty Woman" would say as an "insane amount of money" on plates, bowls and mugs to redo our entire kitchen at home. If you have a Disney Visa card be sure you use it in order to get 10% when you purchase things.
In closing, based on what we have seen the past 6 days in the park going around 1PM to close is like night and day compared to going to Rope Drop. I know this will probably change in the future but if this trend stays we will probably never do Rope Drop again.
