I have been going to WDW since I was little. We try to go once a year but my DH family lives in California so we headed out here for our 3rd time. I will post about our Southern California days over there.
We are DVC members so we usually get a studio room. Booking at the GC is not easy with DVC points since the rooms get taken fast. We had to get a 1 bedroom for 2 days and a studio the rest. I have to say the 1 bedroom is amazing with the full kitchen and jet tub. We filled it up with water at the end of the night and stuck our feet in.
We spent Monday at CA. We used the enterance for Early Magic from GC. The line was insane, we got down there 20 min before EMH started and the line was so long they started requesting people go to the main enterance. I wish we would have done that because the line did not move fast. We did not have bag with us but there was not a seperate security line for no bags. We headed straight back to CarsLand.
There was nobody at all on Flying Tires so we hoped on that first. The kids loved it and we had fun too. I had heard so much complaining about them from so many people in the park though.
We then moved over to Maters Junkyard and there was also no wait so we rode that.
We stopped and saw McQueen
Then we headed over to RSR. It said a 60 min wait so we thought we would go ahead and wait. The line went really fast probably 40 minutes. I do love this ride and have to say it is worth the wait but breaks down alot. The falls portion was broken so the "cruise" portion was not as cool. DH went to get a fast pass (the park had just opened) and had about a 15 min wait. The passes were to come back at around 3 pm.
On the way out of Carsland we did see Joey Fatone getting on Maters. You can see him with his hand up here.
We went on almost all the other rides there with little if no wait.
For lunch my daughter got a corn dog from the Corn Dog Castle, I had a grilled vege salad from the Mexican place and everyone else had the Chicken from the Asian place. We all wish we would have gotten the corn dog because we were not impressed with the other places. I fell the asian food was really fatty pieces of chicken.
So we head back to RSR with our FP, get on and get stopped right before Filmore and Sarge. We sat there for about 10 min before we saw 2 CM walk by. They ignored us and we asked what the deal was. They said they would be back to get us. My shoulder belt had tightened so tight that I could not wait to get out of there. They did come back to get us and we slowly walked out rescuing people from their Cars. On the way out I eased the kids feelings with photos.
The CM asked us to stop taking photos. They did give us FP for later in the day so we did get to come back a couple hrs later. The FP line was longer about 20 min but we got on and right when we were done the ride went down again.
Carsland is nothing short of amazing. Our of any Disney park I have been to this is the best theme. Dinner we did Flos V8, DH and I shared the Chicken Salad which was good, and on of our daughters had the roast beef, which was a bit fatty.
We had gotten FP to the WOC but it was super packed. People were not to willing to make room for others. We did get to see it but not as great as I would like. I have to say it is a great show.
