I need to remind myself never to get behind on your TRs because OMG WOW SO MUCH HAPPENED. Also, WOW, I forget how much you can get done on solo trips.
Mmmmm Poutine. It's funny I haven't had Poutine since I went to Quebec around 6/7 years ago now and I'm having a hankering after looking at that. Sorry to hear it was only warm, but it Poutine.
Uber is so finnicky around Disney. I had to use it once during my program and luckily they could come backstage by West Clock (the parking lot for Magic Kingdom CMs) but it was such a madhouse trying to direct the Uber to where we were. Thank goodness Disney has the whole transportation thing figured out otherwise... mostly.
Although I haven't done a full trip alone, I've spent many a day alone in Magic Kingdom and I understand the overwhelming feeling. You go from having to accommodate for other people and now you are free to do what you choose, but what do you do first? Will everything go wrong if you don't make it to this at this time or that by that time? Good thing you get used to it once everything settles into place.
BTMRR in
Disneyland makes MK's BTMRR look so sad. It was under refurb for a time during my program and this wasn't long after DLR got the effects update so I thought MK was getting it, but nope. Can't ride it anymore.
It's in the minority to be in favor of the Redhead change? Ew. I'm not going to unpack that but I agree with you it was a good change that needed to happen. It's unfortunate Disney put no effort into it whatsoever. The scene is pitifully scripted and so empty... uggghhhh Again, not going to unpack it, but Disney almost added more fuel to the fire on that one.
Mmmm, Skipper Canteen sounds delicious and my kind of place! I'm sorry it wasn't for you, but that souvenir mug and drink sounds worth it enough.
Yay for getting to see Leota with her eyes opened! It's so entertaining to just stand there and wait for her to open her eyes when your held up by the doors. And I love that magic shot, even if it isn't all three ghosts (I believe they only do that at Halloween and it's not even at the mansion... don't quote me on that I just remember they have the ghost carriage shot near that spot).
DLR's IASW claustrophobic? Hmmm, I never felt that, but I agree as you know. For many MANY reasons (even if I have only ridden the Holiday version, I still know it beats MK's).
Yaaaassss to front row on Mine Train, although that's another one where the back row is best! How lucky you were though to get put there by circumstance!
Can't wait to read about the rest of your night at MK!
