This week’s trip has been fantastic. It seems like a fabulous time to go. We arrived on Tuesday and are leaving tomorrow. Wednesday, Thursday and today have been spent in the parks.
Wednesday - We did Epcot all day and fit in everything we wanted to do without purchasing
Genie+. Since we were staying at Pop Century, we took the Skyliner over very early for rope drop, planning to go to Remy from the International Gateway. We were actually on the Skyliner when the VQ for GOTG opened and got boarding group 66 with an estimated return time of 3:30.
We got held up at the gate by ticket problems but the rope drop process at Epcot was so smoothly done that we still walked onto Remy a little while later. After that we rode Frozen, Test Track and Soaring. Our GOTG group was called at 12:30. The rest of the day was wandering the park going on the low wait rides and having snacks in the world showcase. We weren’t very organized so walked about 10 miles that day.
Thursday - MK had a party and that seemed to keep down crowds in the morning. We bought Genie+ for the day but I’m not sure it was actually needed. We arrived a little past rope drop and did everything we wanted by 1pm. We rode Peter Pan’s Flight, Small World, Haunted Mansion, Jingle Cruise, Pirates, BTMR x2, Space Mountain and People Mover, using G+ for some but standby for others. Most were walk ons. Weirdly, People Mover was one of our longer waits.
Today we’re at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, then Epcot for a Rose and Crown dinner. We were way too exhausted to rope drop again so I bought ILLs for FOP at AK and Rise later at HS. Waiting in line for the Safari as of this posting.
