Anabelle sends a meme “Every Disney
Family has been saved by Cosmic Ray’s at some point in their vacation.” This is
accurate.
Both Rosa and I, and Anabelle and I had
been talking about single Lightning Lanes for Tron (Anabelle and I) and Rise of
the Resistance (Rosa and I) and the fact that the Rise Single Rider line skips
too much to be worth using it. Anabelle and I
had the following discussion (scheming) where the Single Rider search on the
App revealed good news. (Because the App is actually useful.)
Anabelle- “What do you think the odds
are of me getting on the Mine Train?”
Me- “I'm pretty sure that's a paid to
ride one time too thing- like the Tron coaster. If you really want to we could
do that.”
Anabelle- “bruh, I don’t want to pay 😤”
(Foreshadowing- We did anyway, it wasn’t
much, and it was worth it.)
Me- “OK. Then it’s wait an
hour, hope it drops late or get there early.”
Anabelle- “😔
pain.”
Me- “Sorry"
Anabelle- “I have beef with everyone
that wants to ride the Mine Train. 😠”
Me- “Sorry.”
Anabelle- “It’s OK I will get thru this.”
Me- “OK. Hey! Ratatouille has a single rider!!!”
Anabelle- “You are joking. We should do
that!”
Me- “No. Just checked to see if Mine Train
did and saw that.”
Anabelle – “Where do you see that?”
Me- “You gotta search for single rider.”
Anabelle- “Wait that’s epic! I mean I
knew all of them except Remy but still.”
Me- “Yeah. One less ‘keep an eye on that’
line.”(Foreshadowing- Holy Moley! Did we take advantage of that!!!)
Rosa and I later discussed the option of
using Disney rewards to buy Lightning Lanes. Gotta look into that
I did, you can.
Single prices- Mid April: Mine train- $14, Tron-$22, Guardians-$19, Rise of Resistance-$25, Avatar-$18.
Rosa also pointed out she expects them
to start charging extra for the Oxygen you breathe.
We better be careful about trusting that
Facebook Gluten Free group. The Disney menu DOES NOT say that the wings at the
churro place are gluten free, but someone incorrectly posted that they were.
Got an email talking about deals on the
room, thought it might be the one we missed. I called Awesome Happy Disney
Georgia and learned it was only for upgrades to pricier hotels. No thank you,
we will be unconscious.

More scheming-
Me- Looks like the Epcot to MGM busses
are rare. We may have to take the boat the last day… or a twenty minute walk
through the Boardwalk.
Anabelle- sigh
The Boardwalk walk could be cool. I’ve
never seen it.
Me- Cool! The boat goes through there
too.
Anabelle- But that involves a boat.
Me- Well. Yes
Anabelle- Boo hiss.
Rosa also liked the walk idea. Whether
that will still be true after a week of walking a million Disney steps a day
remains to be seen.
(Foreshadowing- Even in near hundred
degree heat, we still thought walking was a good idea. Because we are insane.)
Our whole trip is now clickable on the
Disney World Web Site calendar. YAY!
Me- The Disney Villain show, and the new
Little Mermaid show open May 27th at MGM… Missed it, by that much.
Anabelle - They said: Oh this is a Snow
White trip? Bet.
Buzz Lightyear updated with interactive,
light up targets and removable blasters. It’s like they heard us say something
was better in Disneyland and fixed it!!
(Foreshadowing- I am a fool. Of course
they did not do this without a shut down. The change is coming later on.)

Anabelle came home for an appointment.
She shared the myriad updates to her planning notebook, including a full
character list, and the Must Do lists she told me about, featuring several “Never
done by a McGinley” things, like Rafiki’s Planet watch.
(Foreshadowing- And now we know why.)
There is also a space for alcoholic
beverages she has been or will be recommended to try… because time refuses to stop
flying by.
She watched Pocahontas with Rosa
(complaining about how awful John Smith was the whole time) Mulan split
between the two of us, and Jungle Book with us all together. There were
some more Disney films while I was at work, and we went to another in the list
of “Underrated McGinley Disney Favorites That We Like Better Than Anyone Else”
tonight- Treasure Planet. Since Anabelle liked the book, the Muppet
version and this version, I suggested she try the original Disney Live Action Treasure Island. ‘”Why should I do that?” was the answer. Why indeed?
Disney is sending emails daily about
summer savings on Parks, meals and rooms after we come back. I’m not sure if I
have heightened awareness to this because we’re going, or (more likely) Disney
sends stuff constantly, and we did get the best deal we could.
Confession- I often peek at restaurants
I like that are not on the schedule for the current trip to see what I’m
missing. Checking the current Brown Derby menu… I don’t feel like I’m missing
anything. YAY!
