All Things Disney - Except Movies

I have a pic of me with Mary Poppins in MK when I was like 4 or 5. I swear I have a clear memory of her flying in on her umbrella to to greet me. Now of course that didn't happen yet I certainly remember it.

5 y/o me wouldn't have made a very good eyewitness.

They could have used strings or cords. I have seen that done with Mary.

Make any fun purchases at the mall today?

Mrs Scotch misses window shopping. She was looking for a Gap or open Starbucks, they had neither. We bought some stuff at the Nordstrom Rack, I got sneakers.

She ordered this online

It's a SMEG toaster, it's obscenely expensive. She's doing very well with her new job, she likes to treat herself sometimes.
 
Here is the security thing I was talking about. I guess it's taller than 4 feet. It does make for an faster pass through security.



 
I'd rather they do this:

NEWS! Disney World Will Be Shortening Hours at All Four Parks Soon! - AllEars.Net

Starting in September, each of the four Disney World theme parks will be closing at least one hour earlier than their previous schedules.

than what Universal is doing which is temporarily shutting down a bunch of smaller attractions. By doing that (along with how they don't use a reservation system) it will make the lines much longer for all the AAA rides. Both companies had awful quarters. The only good sign for DIsney is that Iger's parting gift, Disney+ is a huge hit and already has 60 million subscribers.

Anyway, I'm sitting here refreshing the reservation system over and over. I want to get one for Epcot tomorrow. If I can get one I'll go to that park for the second half of the day and then have the next two days for MK and AK. Hopefully someone will cancel tonight or tomorrow morning.
 
At the motel. I like this place. It's a shitty, cheap spot but it's close to the parks, on the main tourist drag and the front desk people are nice enough. Now onto the Magic Kingdom!
 
MK was fun I rode (in order):

Carousel of Progress - My favorite ride in all WDW but it needs some tlc. The final scene is in desperate need of an update and since that last time I saw it, the background music in one of the scenes is not working so it's just the animatronic singing the theme tune acapella.

Space Mountain - The only ride where the posted wait time turned out to be wrong. It still only took about 20 mins to get on it though.

Peter Pan - Super short wait, way to go COVID!

Journey of the Little Mermaid - A criminally underrated ride. Even in busy times it rarely has a long line and I like it more than Peter Pan which is one of the most popular MK rides.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train - My second time on it, this time it was a 35 min wait which while my longest wait of the day it's usually about a 2 hour wait this time of year. It's a fun coaster.

Haunted Mansion - A classic

Splash Mountain - My other favorite ride in all of WDW.

Pirates of the Caribbean - Another classic.

Now I'm back at the motel pounding out Avatar. I haven't seen it since it came out in 09 so it's my homework before Animal Kingdom tomorrow.
 
I loved Space Mountain. Used my E tickets on them in 1979.

The Carosel of Progress needs to remain exactly the same. It would be quite funny to see now unchanged.
