Operation All the Rides - Part 1:
We started early making sure we were near the front of the queue for Magic Hour when only those staying in the Disney hotels (or rich enough to pay for the privilege separately) get and extra hour or so in the parks before the unwashed masses enter and the lines get long (up to 2 hours! in some cases!!). Following some serious detective and planning work by Super Kylz we, though, had a foolproof plan to beat the rush and get the best rides.
We did wonder why everyone was running still though after the gates opened…and the opposite way mostly… 🤔 Turns out Crush the Turtle’s (from Nemo) ride is the most popular in the park…
But that didn’t phase us - we had started strong with a ride that Ariah thought…at the time…was the scariest thing she’d ever do and never looked back!
We dropped from great heights, rode haunted broken elevators, spun around…and around…and around… (🤮 Dad), and had an awesome day.
After a bit of a break, and off-country cultural experience with our first ever visit to a Five Guys, we were back in the park for more rides once the crowds thinned out. However, the best was yet to come!
First we set a new PB on Ariah’s Scariest Ride lost with a trip on Hyperspace Mountain! Let’s just say, unexpectedly going upside down was not voted as best life moment (until the courage set in…see Day 2 for more on this).
Then we finished a long day watching an spectacular lightshow that had all the hits and fireworks!
We were stuffed but went home with big grins on our faces for a good sleep. 😴Read more
