We had a season pass when everything shut down. After the start up they did not allow the hopper. Then when they started to let you hop they said you had to wait until 2:30pm. I think it was to control the numbers in each park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When got there around 5:15 the ride went down so we couldn't get it in tonight,we did get the Pirates of Caribbean and the Haunted House in. Then we left a little after 7pm ,just before people were lining up and getting in place for the Fireworks show on the castle. Wanted to get back to our room at Bonnet Creek to watch the Philadelphia Eagles playoff game. no I Edited January 22, 2023 by Jimbo 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted January 22, 2023 #83683 Share Posted January 22, 2023 @Jimbo A few years back we did the Keys to the Kingdom, behind the scenes tour of Magic Kingdom. It was unbelievable to see what really the imagineers had to conquer and the underground tunnels. You should try to do it. Stay safe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They picked us up at our hotel and we went to 4 parks, and hit all the top rides by 4pm. We were beat but it was worth it. We accessed each park from behind the cast member gates, parked in their lots and saw a lot of the behind the scenes magic. Photos behind the gates in the secure areas were not allowed but I’ll never forget the experience. I’ll have to look up the Keys to the Kingdom tour for next time we go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has been referred to as “Murder the magic”, because people may be carrying character’s heads around. I guess they do not want to traumatize young ones. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do to the original pre development of Magic Kingdom, and working on a swamp, tons of whatever (I cannot remember what the guide said) was brought in to make the area less likely to sink. They kept adding whatever and raised it well above a level they anticipated could sink and would last for years. The basement underground as you mentioned is not underground for the area, but "Under" the Magic Kingdom. So it is really the first and second level, and everything else is above. That is why if you recall you walk up hill after the security check bag area and are on a higher level to go through the finger/band entrance (Or paper ticket). I miss Disney in Florida, but the prices are really going to new heights. We probably will not go back till next year. Thanks for sharing your post.

My wife is not happy with all the changes going on and the price of tickets has now got out of hand Take care Mama Lions We have sold all our timeshares we had in the Disney area. This may be our very last trip to Disney ever my wife is not happy with all the changes and the price of tickets have just sky rocketed and are out of hand and now having to pay even more for Disney Genie + and Lightning Lanes it's just crazy. This week is kind of our farewell to the parks. 😞 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keksie Posted January 22, 2023 #83698 Share Posted January 22, 2023 We like Universal in Florida. Their express pass works well and you don't have to wait for a specific time. In the fall the Halloween Horror Night with an express pass is a lot of fun. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just hang out there with my Kindle until I go to the Consecutive Cruisers lunch. I'll be way at the front, near the bar. Just look for the short fat broad with big frizzy hair! Sounds like they're having issues with debarkation... hope they hurry up and get everyone off the ship so you can get on! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
