Day 7, August 09
Lazy day gone busy -
Part 3
When we got to Showcase Plaza
we stopped by the shops and there were some really fun posters in
there, that caught our eye.
We spent some time looking at
the merchandise before we headed towards the Land. When we got to
Journey into Imagination we saw that it was just a five minute wait,
so we jumped in line and visited Figment.
And then
it was time to ride Mission Space.
We used our Fastpass, and with
orange ticket in hand walked into the ride building. We did not
really need to FastPass, but it was nice not having to worry about a
line. And while we had to wait I tried to look for another FastPass
and we were able to pick one up for The Seas with Nemo and Friends.
Soon we were divided into teams and were sent on our way to Mars. We
have done this ride so many times, but it never seems to get old and
we had lots of fun. Once we got off we strolled towards the exit,
walked towards Mousegear and went through the shop, exploring more
of the merchandise before we walked over to the Nemo ride, got into
the FastPass line and discovered that the ride was completely empty,
there were no guests in either
line and when we got to our ride vehicle we could choose whichever
we wanted to sit in and off we went to enjoy the ride. Once we got
off we walked over to the Land and walked right onto Living with the
land.
There was only one other family
on our boat and we enjoyed seeing all the new ways to grow plants
there. Once we got off we checked wait times and saw that Soarin
only had a 10 minute wait. Hm, maybe we should hop into that line.
So we quickly headed over and there was actually no one in line. We
walked all the way down to where FastPass and regular line meet and
were told to just walk straight ahead. About two thirds down the way
we met the rest of the people in line.
We were so surprised. Tom had
timed our line for Touringplans and it actually ended up a 4 minute
wait.
So then we were told to get in
a certain line and Tom asked for front row and we were told to go to
the furthest glider to the left. There we were seated in the desired
row and soon were Soarin’. I didn’t notice it at first, but once we
got to the second destination I realized that being at the outer
gliders the buildings “bent over”. But we did not mind too much, we
really enjoyed enjoyed the new movie. When we got off we were way
into the Extra Magic Hours and I was kind of disappointed as I had
wanted to do Frozen Ever After right during Illuminations and we had
missed that opportunity.
We checked the app again and
guess what, Frozen Ever After was down. So we strolled through
Mousegear again and down to Showcase Plaza. We walked into the
Mexican Pavillion, but there was such a long line for the boatride
and La Cava was mobbed, so we moved on and when we got to Norway,
people were starting to line up for Frozen Ever After. They had not
opened the ride again yet, but we quickly jumped into what seemed a
pretty short line and waited and really, about 10 minutes in the
line started to move.
What we had not realized was
that people were waiting inside the building as well. But at least
there was no 2 hour wait. So we slowly crept inside the building,
loved seeing all the pictures and theming and were in awe once we
got to the “town square” area.
The line snaked back and forth
and moved pretty slowly, but it gave us time to enjoy the settings.
Then we finally got to the part where you enter one of the houses
and we loved the images provided in there as well. And finally we
made it to the end of the line and were told to sit in the front row.
We climbed in and even though it is the same ride it was before, it
was fun seeing it transformed to a Frozen theme.
When we left, we realized that
we had been queueing for over an hour and decided that it was time
for us to call it a day and head back to the car. It took us a while
to walk back to it, but by quarter to 12pm we had made it there and
drove back to Kidani.
We arrived in our room after
midnight and fell right into bed.
