So Day 2 of my solo trip I got a park hopper pass and was determined to make the most of it! :mickey:
I got the free bus from my non-Disney hotel (:ack:) and arrived at the TTC to get the monorail over to the MK for about 8:45 (opening at 9).
I got to see a bit of the Welcome show and then I was off!
I started out with one of my favorite's... Peter Pan's Flight as it had virtually no line and then went straight across to It's a Small World. From there my extravaganza continued with...
Haunted Mansion
Splash Mountain
Thunder Mountain
Popcorn and Water Break. :blush:
Got in line for the PeopleMover but it broke down while in line so I went to get in line for Pirates of the Caribbean but it broke down after I was in line too... :confused:...so I decided to get a Starbucks on Main Street and watch the Festival of Fantasy parade before hopping over to Epcot.
I think I was causing things to breakdown cause I got on the monorail and sat down and wouldn't you know... it broke down and everyone had to get on the bus to Epcot...
Arrived in Epcot and headed to ClubCool for some soda from around the world. I stayed clear of the Beverly. ;)
Headed to the single rider line for Test Track and then headed to Spaceship Earth.
Annnnd it broke down halfway through so we got evacuated. I kinda enjoyed seeing the inside lit up and walking down though. I've been on the ride so many times - this was a new and cool experience!! :cloud9:
Headed to Soarin which was AWESOME!
Then it was scorching hot so I figured even though the wait was 90 minutes, I decided to go inside, get cool and go for it! It was awesome. The Olaf animatronic is sooo real!
Then, still scorching I decided it was time to get a Coke in Italy and a Strawberry tart in France. Yum! The bakery has so many amazing choices.
I toyed with just doing 2 parks but it was hot and I was content with what I did in Epcot so I rode Spaceship Earth one more time to stay cool and headed to Hollywood Studios!
Once there I went to Midway Mania (159,000), then got in the single rider line for Rock n' Rollercoaster.
My luck again - just as I neared the front of the line...the lights went on! We waited for ages and a lot of people left but eventually the ride started up again and off I went!
I was going to skip Tower of Terror as the wait prior to going on RnR was 45 minutes but I got off and it was 13! Perfect! It's one of my favorites!
Walked out as Star Wars fireworks began and headed back to the Magic Kingdom. I saw the Electrical Parade just after arriving and then headed to Space Mountain.
Finished off the night with another classic - Pirates of the Caribbean. No trip is complete without it. :thumbsup:
On my way out around 12:45 (closing at 1), I got one more popcorn and water and headed back to the TTC.
PHEW! It was exhausting and my legs and heels were sore - but so worth it!

Wow what a day!! For a summer day you sure did a great job with seeing as many things as possible. Sorry about all the breakdowns, we had a day like that once.

Pretty crazy day- tons of breakdowns and alot of walking. But I love it !!
Did you have a fit-bit on? I am always amazed the number of steps a person does on a day in the parks, let alone someone who ends up going to 3!!
Thanks for sharing
