What's the best opening day ride at the Magic Kingdom? Besides the Haunted Mansion. Every Patron is GOLD this week as a special thank you for your patience with how long these 2 videos took to make and upload.
I’m going to say It’s a Small World or Jungle Cruise. Unpopular opinion, but I actually like the WDW version of Its a Small World better than the DL version. Having the water spread the whole way throughout the ride makes it feel even bigger and more fun.
Jungle cruise or there is always something special about country bear! Did you notice the cloud right around the 3:15 mark kinda looks like Mickey? Lol!
I actually think it should be the WDW Railroad. (Ok, it is Haunted Mansion, but this is a legitimate contender) Walt loved trains and the WDW Railroad is really a tribute to him. It also gives a great tour of the park (when it works, of course) and even has a tribute to Roy Disney, without whom WDW would not have come into being.
Hi Dallin! I was the overenergetic red vest cast member that mildly lost it when I recognized you after starting to get frustrated while moving guests for fireworks. Thank you so much for your kindness and brief chat, it truly helped settle and remind me why I do what I do. You're amazing!
“Nope, just a preview for the rich and the famous… and the cast members I’m assuming?” Nope cast members didn’t get to preview Enchantment and have been blocked out from the Kingdom this month 🙂
I remember my first "magical moment"- I was a teen, a bit out of "Disney-loving years" and not as into Disneyland as I would have otherwise been (mostly being there for cool rides), but I was struck by a scene when I passed by one of the saloons in Westernland late at night. The fake cricket noises, the simple banjo-strumming in the dark, and the fact that no one else was around... that moment has stuck with me for 25 years.
God bless the Cast Member that was holding the "End of Line" sign for Rock'n'Roller Coaster the day I went. He had so many tourist approach him and ask, after reading the sign, "What kind of ride is this?" and he had to answer them without sarcasm "It's a roller coaster." Like, bless that man for keeping it straight.
Offhand, it was so great getting to meet you that night at Epcot when it was closing. Truly cherishing the photo that we took together as well and loving all the contact that you always put out. Thank you for all you do and glad ya got to have a bit of extra special magic throughout the anniversary trip.
to be fair I was only able to afford to go once, those vidios where they show every price tag allowed me to just consolidate souvenirs into 2 hour sprint
I agree Sarah it’s very refreshing indeed. Offhand great video as always truly enjoy videos of a fan just having fun. Some channels on RUclips are so irritating such as one I have watched spelled WDWN_. I’m sure you will figure it out😎
I feel like for the people that showed up at 4 am on October 1st at the Magic Kingdom was a little bit of a let down that they did not do a speech or bigger performance than just a rope drop celebration. It’s like everything that was celebrating it happened at the media event that only select people can go to. They could have given more to the hoards of people that braved the crowds on the 1st
Yeah tbh that was really disappointing- though I heard some theorize it was because they didn't want to get booed for recent decisions. Still. They should've done the rededication on the day :(
@@expensivepink7 What’s truly sad is how bad management is right now, the CEO has expressed his desire to get rid of the Imagineering department together because he believes them to be a “waste of talent”… So yes, booing… and they deserve it.
Cant wait for you to review the Muppet Haunted Mansion special. I stayed up late with coffee in my Haunted Mansion mug to watch it when it released lol
Can confirm - MK on the day of the 50th was a MESS at opening (dammit scalpers) but turned into one of the most delightful MK days we've ever had. Low waits for rides, lots of food options (Skipper Canteen) and then EVERYONE came back for the debut of the fireworks show. But overall a really really fun MK day...and we were expecting it to be jammed with people. A magical day for sure :)
It's been about 15 years since my last visit to WDW, and one of my most vivid memories was at the Epcot monorail station near sunset and after dark, how quiet it was and how its a bright beacon in the dark Florida everglades, despite being next to a major amusement park. Something lit up in me when you referred to it as a Liminal Space.
My wife and I have gone into the single rider line together. We got separated at the end, of course, but we got on and off faster than we would have if we had gone in the stand-by line. We're cool with riding separately on occasion. We do everything else together, so it's no biggie.
Was there on the 50th. We thought it was great. While most everyone waited in lines for merchandise, we had hardly any wait for attractions. It was great.
Hey Dallin, my husband and I spoke to you on the 50th as you were walking toward Tomorrowland Terrace. We love your channel and would have loved to speak with you more, but didn’t want to hold you up. Thank you for stopping for a second to let us say hi!! We really enjoy your content and channel!!
Hey Dallin, just wanted to say thanks. For a while now, I've been feeling a loss of love for the Disney parks, which have meant so much to me throughout my life. Between Chapek, Twitter drama, and all the nonsense, it's easy for the feeling of magic to fade. But around the 23 minute mark, you show us that hill at the Polynesian, where you can just sit and BE at Disney, with the castle visible over the bungalows. I teared up, man haha. For just a second all that magic came back. That feeling of relief from all of life's pressures and stresses, the calm, the peace that is so lacking in my life. It reminded me WHY Disney is so important to me. I don't care about Chapek, or Lightning Lane, or the 50th, or Enchantment.... I just miss BEING at Disney, surrounded by all my happiest memories, where all the stress in my life fades away. The just sit and BE and find that moment of peace, made possible because of what Walt and Roy and the Imagineers created. You reminded me of that, and it is so SO important to me to remember that. Really, emotionally, truly thank you. I needed that moment for so many reasons.
You got married at WDW right before lockdown too? My brother in law got married at the Japan pavilion not two days before the parks shut down. Wasn't able to take his Disney Cruise honeymoon. We were in Hollywood Studios two days before that and were some of the last people to go to wdw without masks.
I’m so disappointed that I missed you! We were in the Magic Kingdom before 6:30am on Friday and stayed through the fireworks. We even recorded an episode of our podcast while in park- it was such a fun day of taking advantage of the super low wait times! I spent Saturday at Hollywood Studios to see the Muppets Haunted Mansion update. I can’t wait for you to get to talk more about it!!!
There us so much confusion about where John Lennon stayed, with May Pang, that fateful day. One of the problems is that all the longhouses were renamed, a long time ago. Some sources has the room as 1601 Samoa (previously Hawaii). Or was it the original, original Samoa longhouse. The longhouse, you are pointing out is now called Hawaii, but it was originally called Tonga, which I do not believe is the correct building? If you Google, this topic, you will probably not get anywhere, since no one seems to have that definitive answer and Disney doesn’t want us to know, to avoid souvenir hunters.
@@mannyr5334 they are all very nice! No shade to anyone who prefers another 😊 EPCOT has a special place in my heart but so does ToT so I totally get it 🙌🏻
I've not commented before, but had to today as this is a wonderful video. I enjoy seeing your reaction to the lights and attractions, but that moment of contemplation in the gardens of The Polynesian was so 'you' and made for a nice moment. Keep up these wonderful vlogs.
You are so entertaining to watch. Thank you for sharing your love for these parks and your experience with us! Wish we could see more (new)vlogs with you in the parks!
Your reaction at Spaceship Earth guarantees I'll be following you for life! Seeing the look on your face - a young man, in this cynical time in history. I mean, c'mon! 😊💖 You are The Magic!
Dallin, it was really fun to watch your raw footage. You do great polished videos, but this really made me feel like I was there with you. Way cool! You are awesome and I am so pumped I got to meet you at Disneyland back in July.
At 22:47 you have a magic moment, my friend. I loved your meditative reflection at that spot at Polynesian. In 1990 as a kid who had never been out of his hometown, I got to stay there with my family. It’s vibe was so unforgettable…I understand it’s a special place for many of us.
I just love watching these, Dallin! I actually just purchased a couple of packages from Magic Candle Company earlier this week and remembered to use your code! 🎉 Thanks for posting!
Man didn't even realize Disney scalpers were a thing... but all things considered, everyone wants to make a quick buck it seems. Just to think if Disney crushed out quite a bit more of those plastic buckets from their Chinese sweatshops they totally could put a dent in the scalpers ability to scalp.
Disney needs to make their stuff widely available online. It would diminish the scalpers. And there's nothing they're selling that won't be available for the next year and a half. And considering the cost of going to the park, how can they really make money from what little they get to resell?
28:59 "The coziest" spot at Disney. That entrance and music are my happy place (you can hear it on the TTA too). I spent almost all last year bedridden in blinding pain as I recovered from TSW ("Red Skin Syndrome"). During that time, I did what I could to keep my spirits up and distract from the pain, and learned to play and sing the lyrics to "Promising Tomorrows" (the space mountain star tunnel song) on my ukelele. Duet from the ride: ruclips.net/video/gETGXHzMviQ/видео.html Better Quality Version, but solo: ruclips.net/video/41xazJMtlh4/видео.html
Ballroom of the Americas is where my sister, back in the 80's had her wedding reception. (Disney staff threw away half of her giant cake afterward instead of giving it to her, she was pissed).
Saw you streaming from WDW. As a fan I just want to say a shoutout from Orlando! Love your content, especially your love for HM! Also cause of you, my wife and I will always remember Jean LaFitte!
Really enjoyed this BTS look at how things really went. It actually was kind of encouraging that people only swarmed MK for rope-drop. I haven’t been to the parks in a while now and was worried that by the time I decide to become a passholder again, it will be too late to even get in. This gives me hope! Thanks as always for doing what you do!
If you think about it, real Nixon was only about half a mile away from animatronic Nixon. Of course, in those days the current President didn't have any lines.
I tried plugging the door to Rockin Rollercoaster into a music editor and, while it's a nice tune, I didn't recognize it. (It's not a proper scale, but I improvised)
omg I'm so happy you mentioned the "liminal space" thing because that has been a "hard to explain to others" feeling that I love seeing and being in when going to the parks. It inspired me to buy a polaroid 600 and take photos at these areas too for the full effect lol
I’m glad I got to see ya on the way out that night. I hope I didn’t disturb any disquieting contemplations as you were brooding over the haunted mansion, did I?
Totally understand your favorite spot to sit and relax. I like to sit on a bench outside the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, near the fast pass garden, listen to the music box soundtrack and sip a Mint Julep.
I didn't figure it out until you showed the 2nd sign but then I realized those letters corresponded to the old ticket books. Tbf while my first visit was only a few years after the park opened and they had the ticket books then that was quite awhile ago. :)
enchantment feels like a knockoff of happily ever after to me and it's kinda underwhelming for being the big 50th anniversary show... and it has nothing to do with the 50th anniversary at all :(
Happily ever after is a hard act to follow. Might be the best overall end of day ceremony that they have ever done IMO. It is a polarizing proposition to replace it, perhaps that was always going to be the case?
13:00 I tried to analyze the music here, but it's way too jumbled up. It's not super clear as to where each note lies on which ledger line. In addition, the common bar has five ledger lines as this one has six to match the guitar. It's possible the bottom most line is meant to be C (this would explain the lack of a key signature as that can be C Major or A minor, but the notes seem more in relation to C Major) but there is no true indication. Also, the lack of a time signature blurs the rhythmic possiblity to how the timing of each beat should be played. Lastly, I'm not very familiar with Aerosmith's music, so even if played correctly, I can't tell just from this snippet.
Points of Light literally had me in awe. It was the best thing I'd seen and made my last day at the resort even better! I walked into the park as the EPCOT Anthem boomed around me and the lights were so bright, truely an amazing experience, just breathtaking! edit: Dalin ypu think IllumiNations is a 1?! It's the best EPCOT show to ever exist!
every other Disney reviewer also said new fire works how as LAME and anywhere from a 5/1- to 7/10. What was Disney thinking; this was supposed to be extra special for a 50th party. But awesome vid. Thank you.
Hey Dallin! I was working at Casey’s on the 50th and was keeping an eye out to see if you would order. Overall the park wasn’t bad but all of the stores and food locations on Main Street got slammed. As you said, tons of people lined up for fireworks - I saw lots of families sitting down by 2 pm
Rockin roller coaster is my most favorite ride at the Walt Disney parks it just gives you such a rush and such a feeling of anxiety and nerve but safeness that you know nothings gonna happen your at Disney and once the ride starts it’s just energy and excitement and joy and that’s what the Disney parks are. I am so crushed about the rumors that this ride could be going away soon and can change into something more kid like and I have such a fear that it will slow it down and change the track and change that excitement and joy of Rockin Roller Coaster.
what makes epcot so good? when my fam went to WDW a couple years ago, epcot was essentially just a day of A Lot Of Walking In A Circle and it didn't seem like there was much to do besides spaceship earth and soarin- and i would've explored a little more but our fam had the whole day planned out and it didn't really allow for much more than just walking and looking; so what would you (anyone) recommend doing at epcot that'll make it a bit more memorable than just a day of sore feet? 😅
"The cast members I'm assuming." I've never been to Disney World, but even I could tell that the Cast Members aren't getting any special treatment...or good treatment at this point.
Unfortunately Disney is dead. I don't if people have seen what the extra charges are going to be per person per ride for fast pass but compared to the prices in Paris I expect a full out boycott of Disney in the following months. Chapek has destroyed our favorite vacation kingdom and I don't know if it will ever be the same. I've sworn off Disney as my form of protest. It's the only way we can force change. I'll be going to universal for the foreseeable future. Hope some of you will join me and in a few years we can get our Disney back. I won't be lining these people's pockets anymore. I'll still be watching videos here for my nostalgia fix.
Just made it to EPCOT yesterday to see Spaceship Earth at night (didn’t stay for HarmoniUS yet). Spaceship Earth literally made me tear up. I was shooting video of it and at the beginning you can hear me sigh at myself for crying hahaha! What they did to Spaceship Earth is exactly how you plus up an existing attraction without destroying what came before. When riding it, it also seemed like they’d repaired some of the lighting (it’d gotten pretty dark in parts). Two of the animatronics (the caveman shaman and the Roman soldier) had been removed to referb them, they’re back and better than ever. Other animatronics’ mouths seemed to be working better as well. Now all they need to do is finally fully realize the Earth from the surface of the moon scene in the top of the ride and everything will be great! I was in the Magic Kingdom on Oct 1st. The waits were low ALL DAY. When I got in the park at 7:30 people were waiting for the opening ceremony at 8:00 which ended up being nothing special. The lines that were the longest all day were for the merch. I did join to virtual ques and eventually got in to both. I’m on the same page as you with Enchantment…it’s fine. There’s nothing special about it, it’s just another Disney clip show. REALLY disappointed there’s nothing about Walt or Roy or Mickey or anything about the history of the park! Plenty of music from the 50 years to pull from to fill a show…imagine SpectroMagic projected onto the castle!!?? Anyway…keep up the good work!
What's the best opening day ride at the Magic Kingdom? Besides the Haunted Mansion.
Every Patron is GOLD this week as a special thank you for your patience with how long these 2 videos took to make and upload.
Hard to choose but I like Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan and Hall of Presidents (in addition to HM) ✨
I’m going to say It’s a Small World or Jungle Cruise.
Unpopular opinion, but I actually like the WDW version of Its a Small World better than the DL version. Having the water spread the whole way throughout the ride makes it feel even bigger and more fun.
Thanks D! Worth every moment of wait!
Jungle cruise or there is always something special about country bear! Did you notice the cloud right around the 3:15 mark kinda looks like Mickey? Lol!
I actually think it should be the WDW Railroad. (Ok, it is Haunted Mansion, but this is a legitimate contender) Walt loved trains and the WDW Railroad is really a tribute to him. It also gives a great tour of the park (when it works, of course) and even has a tribute to Roy Disney, without whom WDW would not have come into being.

The Cast Members are the magic of WDW. Thank you all for 10 magical trips for me and my family.
Thank you for everything you do to make magic for people and all of your unseen hard work too! 💖
Thank you for keeping the parks going! 😇
I hope he sees this 🤞
Thanks for all you do to keep the Magic going.
“Nope, just a preview for the rich and the famous… and the cast members I’m assuming?” Nope cast members didn’t get to preview Enchantment and have been blocked out from the Kingdom this month 🙂
I remember my first "magical moment"- I was a teen, a bit out of "Disney-loving years" and not as into Disneyland as I would have otherwise been (mostly being there for cool rides), but I was struck by a scene when I passed by one of the saloons in Westernland late at night. The fake cricket noises, the simple banjo-strumming in the dark, and the fact that no one else was around... that moment has stuck with me for 25 years.
God bless the Cast Member that was holding the "End of Line" sign for Rock'n'Roller Coaster the day I went. He had so many tourist approach him and ask, after reading the sign, "What kind of ride is this?" and he had to answer them without sarcasm "It's a roller coaster."

That's hilarious. I would have said it's a roller coaster with rock music 😂
Offhand, it was so great getting to meet you that night at Epcot when it was closing. Truly cherishing the photo that we took together as well and loving all the contact that you always put out. Thank you for all you do and glad ya got to have a bit of extra special magic throughout the anniversary trip.
He's the best!
It's nice to have a Disney RUclipsr who just doesn't film themselves eating or pointing out every single price tag in shops. Love your work :)
to be fair I was only able to afford to go once, those vidios where they show every price tag allowed me to just consolidate souvenirs into 2 hour sprint

Disney sucks now, they no longer care about us fans, they are only concerned with profits now.
It's just so wholesome watching you excitedly show us the spot where you got married at the Polynesian resort!

So happy someone made this reference.

That happens to my mom and I if we have family with us and we all want to do single ride line
I love the star tunnel music from Space Mountain. It is so relaxing.
I miss when they played it on the Peoplemover
I have not been to Epcot since January 2020. It’s my family’s favorite park.
I cried when I saw Spaceship Earth.
Thank you for sharing.
LOVE the idea of a video on liminal spaces! Love your stuff period. You rock.
I do not think that you are as old as me, but I love that you have the soul of a fellow child of the 70s.
ARGHHH! You're married? How did I miss that? Congratulations! Even if my hopes are dashed forever!!!
Spaceship Earth. Truly the most beautiful girl in school.
My magic candle company candles finally burned out. I need to order more. Lol.
How long have you had them before they burnt out?
I burn them three or 4 times a week for a few hours. They last a few months. I bought 6 about a year ago.
Get the round things

It was really nice meeting you in California Adventure! Thank you so much for waiting for us after getting of Incredicoaster and for the picture!
What if they intentionally made enchantment mediocre to keep guest shopping and buying food 🤔 wouldn’t doubt such a thing to happen under chapek
I’m so disappointed that I missed you! We were in the Magic Kingdom before 6:30am on Friday and stayed through the fireworks. We even recorded an episode of our podcast while in park- it was such a fun day of taking advantage of the super low wait times!

There's STILL an animatronic Nixon but no animatronic John Lennon; this seems incomplete.
Nothing like. 50th Anniversary celebration event that excludes the public, nice going Bob Paycheck.
Great video as always! It helps brighten my mood since I haven't been able to visit either park in years.
I thought you were going to say that that’s where you got engaged but that’s even better ❣️
I tried plugging the door to Rockin Rollercoaster into a music editor and, while it's a nice tune, I didn't recognize it. (It's not a proper scale, but I improvised)
omg I'm so happy you mentioned the "liminal space" thing because that has been a "hard to explain to others" feeling that I love seeing and being in when going to the parks. It inspired me to buy a polaroid 600 and take photos at these areas too for the full effect lol
I would like to thank the baby for the amazing monorail commentary
I heart me some b-roll Offhand Disney. Friday ambiance while "working".
I’m glad I got to see ya on the way out that night. I hope I didn’t disturb any disquieting contemplations as you were brooding over the haunted mansion, did I?
That Mesa Verde sticker is showing the sun setting on the Horizon...
I have that coconut button up! I bought it at a thrift shop and usually wear it open with a tank top. It looks great on you!
Totally understand your favorite spot to sit and relax. I like to sit on a bench outside the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, near the fast pass garden, listen to the music box soundtrack and sip a Mint Julep.
Mesa Verde! Haven't been there in forever. Didn't realize they had a sticker. Awesome!
I watched the original special from 1971, and when they zoomed in on the Nixon animatronic -I solely thought of that moment.
I’ll be honest, it was pretty lame. We didn’t even know it was the 50th until like the end of the day when a cast member said something.
That sign on the bus, I'm LOSING it. Who OK'd that? lmao
Hi! It was really nice to meet you at the Polynesian outside of Trader Sam’s! I was the one wearing the Annual Pass shirt!
I didn't figure it out until you showed the 2nd sign but then I realized those letters corresponded to the old ticket books. Tbf while my first visit was only a few years after the park opened and they had the ticket books then that was quite awhile ago. :)
I like how they played zip a dee do da for the last time. I miss Splash Mountain
enchantment feels like a knockoff of happily ever after to me and it's kinda underwhelming for being the big 50th anniversary show... and it has nothing to do with the 50th anniversary at all :(
Bummer to hear the new Finale show is a step down. My now-wife and I were truly moved by Happily Ever After.
Happily ever after is a hard act to follow. Might be the best overall end of day ceremony that they have ever done IMO. It is a polarizing proposition to replace it, perhaps that was always going to be the case?
13:00 I tried to analyze the music here, but it's way too jumbled up. It's not super clear as to where each note lies on which ledger line. In addition, the common bar has five ledger lines as this one has six to match the guitar. It's possible the bottom most line is meant to be C (this would explain the lack of a key signature as that can be C Major or A minor, but the notes seem more in relation to C Major) but there is no true indication. Also, the lack of a time signature blurs the rhythmic possiblity to how the timing of each beat should be played. Lastly, I'm not very familiar with Aerosmith's music, so even if played correctly, I can't tell just from this snippet.
Your since of humor is so sarcastic, I genuinely can't tell when your joking sometimes
I didn't know you were married, and so recently too! May you and your spouse have many years in health, happiness, and love.
Him & his wife are super cute!
Points of Light literally had me in awe. It was the best thing I'd seen and made my last day at the resort even better! I walked into the park as the EPCOT Anthem boomed around me and the lights were so bright, truely an amazing experience, just breathtaking!
edit: Dalin ypu think IllumiNations is a 1?! It's the best EPCOT show to ever exist!
The building you showed at Poly was Hawaii. We actually stayed in that room. Samoa doesn’t face the water
Love the vlog + narration. Keep it up
every other Disney reviewer also said new fire works how as LAME and anywhere from a 5/1- to 7/10. What was Disney thinking; this was supposed to be extra special for a 50th party. But awesome vid. Thank you.
Hey Dallin! I was working at Casey’s on the 50th and was keeping an eye out to see if you would order. Overall the park wasn’t bad but all of the stores and food locations on Main Street got slammed. As you said, tons of people lined up for fireworks - I saw lots of families sitting down by 2 pm
12:48 "I am currently a single rider, ladies" 😂😂😂
That right after the ad-spot was *insert pacha’s these hills sing meme here*
I get that the merchandise is valuable but guys, ITS THE 50th ANNI! RIDE SOME RIDES, WALK AROUND, ENJOY THE PARK!!!!
Idk why but the way you said “Waste, please,” made me laugh out loud 😅😅
I appreciate how go with the flow you are. I'm sure there ar more stressors than we see but you handle them so well
Good footage man, thank you 👍
Loving these longer videos. Every time you take dark videos I think my tv is messed up. Lol. No idea what that’s about. Keep it up!!! 😊
Rockin roller coaster is my most favorite ride at the Walt Disney parks it just gives you such a rush and such a feeling of anxiety and nerve but safeness that you know nothings gonna happen your at Disney and once the ride starts it’s just energy and excitement and joy and that’s what the Disney parks are. I am so crushed about the rumors that this ride could be going away soon and can change into something more kid like and I have such a fear that it will slow it down and change the track and change that excitement and joy of Rockin Roller Coaster.
what makes epcot so good? when my fam went to WDW a couple years ago, epcot was essentially just a day of A Lot Of Walking In A Circle and it didn't seem like there was much to do besides spaceship earth and soarin- and i would've explored a little more but our fam had the whole day planned out and it didn't really allow for much more than just walking and looking; so what would you (anyone) recommend doing at epcot that'll make it a bit more memorable than just a day of sore feet? 😅
I think it’s for food and mostly food 😂
Living with the Land, Soarin' Spaceship Earth!
"The cast members I'm assuming."
I've never been to Disney World, but even I could tell that the Cast Members aren't getting any special treatment...or good treatment at this point.
Unfortunately Disney is dead. I don't if people have seen what the extra charges are going to be per person per ride for fast pass but compared to the prices in Paris I expect a full out boycott of Disney in the following months. Chapek has destroyed our favorite vacation kingdom and I don't know if it will ever be the same. I've sworn off Disney as my form of protest. It's the only way we can force change. I'll be going to universal for the foreseeable future. Hope some of you will join me and in a few years we can get our Disney back. I won't be lining these people's pockets anymore. I'll still be watching videos here for my nostalgia fix.
IM VERY EXCITED FOR THE LIMINAL SPACES IN DISNEY VIDEO THATS GONNA BE AMAZING
Weird to hear Disney using Two Steps From Hell music.
I think the A was for the old ticket books. Not an E ticket ride but a lowly A ticket ride.
7:40 My brain still hears that faint Innoventions music in the background.
Just made it to EPCOT yesterday to see Spaceship Earth at night (didn’t stay for HarmoniUS yet). Spaceship Earth literally made me tear up. I was shooting video of it and at the beginning you can hear me sigh at myself for crying hahaha! What they did to Spaceship Earth is exactly how you plus up an existing attraction without destroying what came before. When riding it, it also seemed like they’d repaired some of the lighting (it’d gotten pretty dark in parts). Two of the animatronics (the caveman shaman and the Roman soldier) had been removed to referb them, they’re back and better than ever. Other animatronics’ mouths seemed to be working better as well. Now all they need to do is finally fully realize the Earth from the surface of the moon scene in the top of the ride and everything will be great!
I was in the Magic Kingdom on Oct 1st. The waits were low ALL DAY. When I got in the park at 7:30 people were waiting for the opening ceremony at 8:00 which ended up being nothing special. The lines that were the longest all day were for the merch. I did join to virtual ques and eventually got in to both. I’m on the same page as you with Enchantment…it’s fine. There’s nothing special about it, it’s just another Disney clip show. REALLY disappointed there’s nothing about Walt or Roy or Mickey or anything about the history of the park! Plenty of music from the 50 years to pull from to fill a show…imagine SpectroMagic projected onto the castle!!??
Anyway…keep up the good work!
"Country music? I'd never be caught dead playing country music..."
17:40 A monorail jump passed the TTC but no, we're going to walk! 🤨
