Sounds like a great first day! Can't wait to hear more.
Following along! And now dreaming of Dole Whips. Yum!
There's just something about Main Street that makes me so happy. Such cute pictures!
So cute! Window decorating has become a tradition for us. It's so fun!
Agreed
Very cute
I am impressed, that was a long day
Looking forward to reading another of your reports!
Especially since this one kinda-sorta overlapped with mine.
Congrats to your parents on their milestone anniversary. Disney is such an awesome place to celebrate.
Going back to read the other posts now.
GREAT start to your trip.
I LOVE the beautiful lights of the city and the sunrise from the plane. Also, fantastic arch picture.
It's great that the transportation fairies were with you and you were able to get to MK quickly. No better place to start a Disney trip.
All of your photo pass pictures are adorable, but I especially love the ones of you and your shadow on Main Street. Very Peter Pan.
I have never watched the Royal Faire castle show. It looks like fun and your mom's pictures are great.
Love the rides you did, good FP selections. I'm glad you were able to eventually ride Mine Train.
OK, I have seen this in a couple of trip reports... where is the purple wall? Asking for a friend....
Very, very impressive first day.
Same!!!
This picture is GORGEOUS!!!
Yay! I love it when I see decorated windows!
So cute! Happy Disney Birthday celebration!
This is so pretty! Disney sunsets are the best kind
What a really great arrival day! Just no better way to spend the first afternoon than in MK, in my opinion.
I really have to make sure we catch the Muppets show next time we are there. We always seemed to miss it on our last few trips! It looks really cute.
Aw cute! We're the same age!
So pretty!
Love this! One of the fun things about values and moderates!
Hi There! Joining in!
Looks like a great first day at MK! Always love starting with a ride on the Peoplemover!
Glad SDMT opened back up for you!

So we got to the turnstiles and while there was already people lined up, we were in a good position. As time went on I noticed the crowds get bigger and bigger. At 8:15 they opened the turnstiles! Green light for me, Green light for mom, Blue light for dad. They kept making him try and the CM got kinda snippy and said "Sir are you sure that's the right finger?". The funny part is prior to that, my dad specifically said to me "I remember which finger I used yesterday". Finally another CM came over and just reset it for him.
It was such chaos- people pushing, people trying to cut other people off. We stood our ground and just walked with the crowd until we finally made it into the queue!
We made it pretty quickly onto the ride and once we were done we were pretty much in awe. We thought it was amazing! Even my dad, who has never seen Avatar, was blown away and for the rest of the trip could not stop talking about it! And to boot, we were off the ride by 9:20! I was pretty nervous about how this morning would go and I was glad it all worked out!
We were at the bus stop by 6:45 and it was still pretty dark out!
The time on the bus tv schedule said a bus would be arriving at 7:03- perfect! But then the time kept changing...and changing...and I started panicking. I wanted to be at the park at 7:30! The final straw was seeing the time change to 7:27. I made the decision to call for an uber. I placed the request at 7:15 and we were at the park by 7:30. Best $15 I spent the whole trip honestly! Who knows what time the bus would have eventually shown up! And the uber left us closer than the bus would have

Oh no!! This is so frustrating!! And that system glitches so often that the CM shouldn't have been blaming your dad. It also seems that the pressure you use when you first set your fingerprint makes a big difference. Glad it got fixed!
Wow!! Intense!
I'm so glad this worked out so well for you! It's a really impressive ride, and it's a challenge to get on it without FP, so good for you guys!
This is such a pretty background! You look so nice!
Yay! So glad you got to ride FoP! Good decision to call for an Uber, those darn buses can be so frustrating! We really enjoyed the Night Blossom but agree it is sweet! Great moss wall pictures, of course Andi knew this was a thing, lol!
Glad you were able to get right on FoP! Those crowds though... OMG Not looking forward to having to deal with that! We got a FP but I was hoping for more than one ride. Maybe not though because all the crowd pictures give me anxiety lol.
Cute pictures with the moss wall!!
Talk about dedication!
I guess that's the nice thing about those tvs..you at least have some warning if there isn't going to be a bus for a while! Glad y'all made it
I get this question when it's a little kid, but with an adult...? I've had that happen to me, and I've been very tempted to tell them that I use the same finger every single time (on every trip) so YES I'm sure!
Woah! That's pretty impressive.
So glad your morning worked out (once the bus situation was fixed with the uber!). I had the same plan for one of my AK days in August and it was basically exactly like yours! Isn't that ride just incredible?!?!
I know it gets a lot of hate, but I liked it! It's short, there's no real story, but visually it's very beautiful.

It was a little before 8:45 when they started herding us towards the ride. It was such chaos- people pushing, people trying to cut other people off.
After that another mission needed to be accomplished- I needed to buy a night blossom!
