After missing out on day #2 of the AP preview all day, once by only one ride vehicle, we made it in to see the new ride today. I won't say more about the ride as why re-invent the wheel. What I will say is that my girls LOVED it!!!
They are now 6 and 7, are fond of Toy Story, do not play many video games, and have played with many of the toys and board games you see in the line as well as through the ride.
My opinion is that the ride itself fills a void in the DHS park. The frustrating part of DHS for us is timing. You know, going from show to show and what to do in between. The princesses are not yet able to go to TOT or RnR, even Indiana Jones is a bit loud for them. So what do you do for the hour in between Beauty and the Beast and Playhouse Disney when you've already stalked the playground for a hour earlier?
Midway Mania will fit the bill nicely. It's not a show, but a ride and to them an exciting one.
It was simple enough for them to understand what to do and to have fun doing it, but challenging enough for me to really try at something other than beating my previous time for a diaper change in a Disney bathroom (twins are not quite two, diapers changes have to be fast!)
2 thumbs up from this mom of four princesses and most importantly the older two princesses highly enjoyed the ride and look forward to riding it again soon!
