Disney Part I

[forever_wandering]

My friend and I went to: 

According to the news, it was supposed to rain all day, but we still decided to spend the entire day at Disney. 
Aside from maybe 20 minutes, we had good weather all day! 

Was that the reporter's mistake or Disney Magic? 

We started the day by exploring Hollywood Studios. After seeing Lion King on Broadway in New York, I fell in love with watching live performances, so I always make sure to catch a show or two, but didn't get around to it this time. Instead we focused on the attractions. We did Rock n' Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror and Star Wars 4D Adventure. For the first time ever, I was able to keep my eyes open through Tower of Terror! 

After Hollywood Studios, we headed to Magic Kingdom to try and stalk some princesses and eat some yummy snacks. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, the princesses were taking a break from their oh-so-exhausting life of riches and royalty, so we weren't able to get any pictures with them, but we did manage to catch sight of the new princess from BRAVE, and a show with my one true love--Peter Pan. 

We had a major LOL moment when we were leaving Cinderella's castle. You're supposed to enter on the left side, leave on the right. However, people were entering from both directions, so it was impossible to get to the right side to leave. I got fed up and grabbed my friend and dragged her through the crowd and a bunch of people snapped at me for cutting them off. As we were walking out, I told my friend, "It's not that complicated. Why can't Americans get it? Left is in, right is out. There are even signs. Anyway, if they're not going to play nice, neither am I." A man in of us turned and asked where we were from. My friend told him I was from Japan and she was from Puerto Rico. He laughed and told me I had guts for saying that out loud. He was from Canada and he had been thinking the same thing I had but hadn't dared to say it. We just all started laughing over it. 

There was a lot of construction going on. Disney is apparently adding an entire new village and two new castles to the Magic kingdom.  We decided that Disney was going to expand to the point that Florida residents were going to be living inside these little villages. 

After Magic Kingdom, we went to Epcot. So much happened there that it deserves a post all to itself.
The rain is insane right now, the power is flashing and a flood warning has been issued so I'm going to go help secure some things in case of a flood.

Disney World is super fun. :3 I've been there once years ago with my family. I had tons of fun when I was there though. I absolutely loved the Tower of Terror even though I hate those kind of rides. XD
You got some really nice pictures when you were there. ^_^

Oh what a lovely time it must have been! I've always wanted to go to Disney World and just haven't been able to for various reasons.

As for the whole thing with the entrance and exit confusion at Cinderella's castle, I couldn't have worded it any better. I had a similar incident when I went to Universal Studios some years ago. Granted it was in a small gift shop but the entrance door and exit door were clearly marked. I think my words were "Can you not read?" after a guy snapped at me and called me a 'stupid brat' for walking out the exit door he wanted to come in. I'm really shocked when this happens but it seems to be so common from what I hear.

Americans do not read, that is the problem. Every person I know who came here from another country is baffled by how many of us will ask stupid questions rather than look around for a sign. On the other hand, sometimes there are no signs to be found or they are blocked by dumb people going the wrong way, haha.

You (and your friend) are so pretty!

Disney is so awesome!
Rock 'n Rollercoaster and Tower of Terror are my favourite attractions in Disneyland Paris.

I'd love to visit different Disney parks around the world, unfortunately I've only been able to visit the one in Paris =(
but it's nice to read your entry about Disney World, hopefully one day I'll be able to go there as well =D

Awww, I wish I can go to Disney World! Also, that's a rather fail moment for people to enter the castle both ways. I don't know why some people would do that. Sorry that you had to be yelled at. ^^;

I remember when I went to Disney Land when I was a kid! That was my only time through my life so far. I had a fail moment of my own - I wandered into the changing room (where people get into their outfits and so forth, it seemed) and I found myself bumping into Eeyore and crying over it. I made good friends with him afterwards, though! XDDD

Looks amazing! And fun! I went when I was 6 and unfortunately don't remember much. I do remember eating a whole lot of churros though!

Sounds like you had a good time :)

I've never been to any Disney parks. I get motion sickness and I don't like heights, so I don't really enjoy theme parks... I'm probably one of the few who don't like them, though.

I've been to Disney World a few times and enjoyed it a lot - sounds like you had a good time; nice pictures!

I also have the same suspicion on Disney Hong Kong... no matter how bad the weather is forecasted to be, Disneyland Hong Kong is ALWAYS sunny... I keep thinking if they have some kind of force field or magnetic field installed to make that happen.
