Happy Saturday all!
A bit of a status update from overall Friday and boo bash:
Started the morning out at Epcot to have lunch at food and wine. Lines were low right at opening and quickly got longer for the lunch rush, but still nothing like in the past. I have encountered more than a handful of booths having trouble with their credit card/magic band machines so they have to direct people to a single register, not sure what is going on with that. The La Passion frozen martini slush in France remains delicious and I would like to petition for it to be a Disney food group.
We headed over to the Dis Family Reunion at the Contemporary Convention Center in the afternoon. This was my first Dis event and I enjoyed being able to walk around! At the auction I won a very cool and very large Cinderella 50th anniversary art print that I'm going to have reframed and hung in the house. Super excited about that! Also Give Kids the World is a wonderful charity, if any of you are unfamiliar I really encourage you to check it out.
We got to MK early for Boo Bash and had dinner at the Plaza. It was convenient and I'm glad we had a sit down booked but I would not book the plaza again. We had loaded fries which were frankly sad looking, I had crab cakes which somehow both didn't taste like crab yet also had shell in them, and DH had a burger which was OK.
We had boo bash in the evening. Ride times were low, longest wait I saw all night was 30min for Peter pan. Longest we waited was 20min for mine train (posted 15). We did Jungle Cruise, BTMM, Haunted Mansion, Mine Train, Space, and Buzz x2, saw 2 cavalcades, took a number of photopass photos, stopped to see eeyore and piglet, and hit every single candy station (my husband's primary goal). We have a lot of candy. Like a lot of candy.
Crowds were lower than
MNSSHP in the past and I would compare this more to an after hours event. The cooler weather and low wait times made us feel this was worth the cost.
Today we are headed to Disney Springs now for brunch, TBD in the afternoon, and then have the Dis Family Reunion Give Kids the World after hours event in Galaxy's Edge tonight.
If you've got any questions about how things are going at the parks, let me know and I will weigh in the best I can!
