Re: Bobmouse in Disney World 9/10-9/17

Bobmouse's Solo Trip to Disney World

Dates: September 10th thru 17th
Adventurer: Bobmouse(36)
Resort: All Star Movies- Mighty Ducks

Day 4- Magic Kingdom
A tipical morning ruitine. Hoped the bus for early entry and got there with plenty of time to spare. I meet a couple at the gate that had a seven tweenty PS for Cindarella's Castle. It seems that you are told that time to get you there earlier. When you get to Cindy"s they take your name and seat you as so as a table is ready. Probly only done with first few groups.It kind of annoyed her but he was ok with it. When she saw the family that got to open the park she said "I want to do that. We got here before them." I have since noted that it is usally a little girl that opens the park. This lady was kind of ammusing.
At rope drop I head up Main steet to tomarrow land to ride Space Mountain. I'm am disappointed with it. Did not like the darknees of the ride and a bit jerky.
Went over to Buzz Lightyears's Space Rangers Spin. What a fabulous ride. The combonation of a ride and life size vidio game is great. On my first ride I got a score of 86,000 points. Had to ride it again and got 106,000 points the second time. Want to ride some more but decide to wait to later.
The ExtraTERRORestrail Alien Encounter was kind of funny. There was a couple that was working a family up on how scarry it was before their firat ride. Not nearly as scarry as I expected and I was a little let down.
Rode the Tomarrowland Transit Authority and took a picture while in space mountain. Can't wait to see what came out.
I have done as much as can in Tomarrowland for now so it's over to Fantasyland. I ride Show White's Scary Adventures, I had rode this my first trip and really like it. A most do everry trip.
Took a boat ride in It's a Small World. I have heard about the dolls but they were a bit different than I expected. I nice ride though I never did it agian this trip. The seats in the boat were the most uncomfortable of any ride here.
Peter Pan's Flight is the best themed ride vehical in the parks. I really think the boats are very cool. I liked the way they used the sail to block a veiw til the last insteance.
The Many Advantures of Winnie the Pooh ride was nice. I enjoyed the Tigger bouncing part the most. Unfortunetly I had left my hip pack open before this ride and a couple of roll of film had fallen out. After a few nervous minutes I was directed to the ride opperator and some one had found them and gave them to him. Thank you to who ever found them, them had half my morning on them.
It is after nine and the rest of the park is now open. I have heard so much about The Haunted mansion that I have to ride. I ride it twice in a row. The first time there is a group of teens just in front of me that scream and carry on the whole ride, very destacting and annoying. I ride again to Expearence with no distracktions. Very well done. That poor dog mabe I will bring a biscit with me next time. I got the same hitch hiker both times though.
I travel back into time as I enter Frontierland. Hop on to Splash Mountain. Great themeing, having never ridden this attracktion before , I did not know when the big drop was coming. Insadently the two smaller drops supprised me ever more than the large drop. the large drop was so quick that I did not have time to get to scared. Did not get soaked ethier.
Big Thunder Mountain RailroadHad the first line today but only about five to ten minutes. I realy like this ride as I enjoy the old fadtion coasters.
Time for a lunch break. I eat at Percos Bill Cafe. Not dog and fries out of the porch. It started to sprinkle as I eat and did not stop today. After lunch I went back on BTMR and liked it even more this time. You get to notice more each time you ride.
Went into Adventureland next and tuored The Swiss Family Treehouse. A nice set up, very serene and calm. I do wish there was a veiw of the park up there.
Three cheers for spoke and wheel rides. Hip Hip Heray, rode The Magic Carpets of Aladdin It was alright, definetly for the youngsters. A camel spits water at you.
Arr it's the parrot life for me. Went on Pirates of the Caribbean. Ther was a lady stuck in the turn stile because of her kids diper bag. I helped her out as her husband walk away unaware. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Very nice ride, the seens were very well done. some were quite ammusing. I particularly liked the parrot out front.
It starts to rain in earnest as I find a good spot for the three o'clock parade. At 3:00 the parade is delayed and again at 3:05. A Cm mentions that it will most likely be canceled because of the floats that can't get soaked. So I go into the Country Bear Jamboree. As I am waiting to be let in I hear that the parade is canceled. It is a funny show with old time country music. I thought that the swinging bear was the best. The talking animal head were very funny. I then go back into Adventureland to see The Enchanted Tiki Room. Which seems to be under new Management. Yogo and Zazoo make an apperance as the new managers. Very beautiful and Yago wants to make a few changes but is convinced other wise.
The Jungle Cruise was next. A short ride though different jungles that was made more interesting because of the very funny guide. I'm sure the boat is on some sort of track but she acted well in stearing the boat to cover that up.
I filled some time before dinner by looking for some penny presses. I also hs a MIckey ears hat made up that I will wear to dinner. I go into the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade to pop off a few caps. A simple diversion but fun.
Dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern. I arive at four forty five and I'm told some one would come for me. A couple of minutes later the town crier anounces that my table is ready "Hear ye Hear ye Mr Bobmouses table is ready" Seated in the John Pual Jones room. My server Sarah greets me and tells me my salad will be rate out. A delicious mixed greens with thierspecial tavern strawberry vinagerette dressing. Oh was it good. As I look out a window I see that the ring of colonial flags in the liberty square are a half staff. I am saddened as I think of the loss of so many. The Liberty Tree Tavern dinner is a charactor meal and they are mixing about. Chip see me writing in my trip log and wants to write sometning. He writes "Saw Chip today at LLT- it was the best part of my day" It lifts my spirit . All the charactors are in colonial dress. Dinner is served family style and Sarah brings my plater out. It has roasted turkey breat, marinated flank steak and honey mustard ham. Accompanied by mass potatos, glazed carrots, herb dressing and macarini w/cheese. Every thing was supperb. At this time Chip and Dale took Goffey and shuut him into a closset. Minnie came over to see what they were doing and giggled and stood up against the door. Sarah came over to save Goffey and the scoled they for it. For deasert I had a pound cake with peacans and carmel sause, Um Um.
After dinner I strole down Main street looking into shop. I step into Uptown Jewlers, I am looking for a disney pocket watch. They have a few, two inparticular that I like. One has Cindarella's castle and the other has a Mickey haed on cap. On the in side of the later is a small Mickey between the three and six. He is pointing to a window inwhich you can see the workings of the watch. this is the one I choose. The dealer tries to tell me that the batterie will last a long time. I inform his that it is a wind up watch. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
As I'm leaving the park I stop at the railroad station to get a couple pressed pennies and quarters. Also to take a few pictures.
At the bus stop I meet a lady and her two children,from Ohio, we talk about New York and how she is stranded for now. Disney is being great as the are letting anone stranded stay for free intil they can get home. Disney is also providing park tickets. She said some one from home was driving down to get them. Her son was discribing his day to me on the way back to our resort. He told me about his ride on slash mountain and I asked if he got wet. He ssaid yes and had me touch his hair to varify it. I am glad the yuonger kid do not understand what is going on rate now.
