Here now. Arrived on Tuesday. Spent the afternoon to closing at AK. Wonderful time with most guests leaving. Had a terrible dinner at the AK Rainforest Cafe. Waited forever for the food. Server came with a cracked glass of ice tea. Tea began to leak all over the table. Glass was completely empty by the time we got someone’s attention.
Wednesday at Epcot. We had a great lunch at San Angel, surprising I know. We booked to save us a wait into the pavilion. Was able to do and see everything. I came prepared to buy preferred parking each day. No need if you make it to rope drop. Our space was three rows behind preferred.
Thursday was MK. We were parked and headed to the ferry shortly after 7. Lots done in the morning before a LTT dinner. Hostess seemed a little annoyed when I insisted on eating at LTT not Golden Horseshoe. We promised ourselves not to get frustrated by others in terms of mask wearing/distancing, but it was very noticeable at MK. Crowds much more noticeable too. I’ve never had a bad encounter with a CM until Pirates. We are 4 fairly large adults. When we gave our party number we were surprised to be given one row. (Normally we were divided 2 and 2). I asked if we could have two rows and the CM said “ lady I work here and I know how many can fit, all of you go to row 5”. We could hardly move! My youngest daughter started to tear up. I think she was just surprised by the CM’s reaction. Next was Splash. The line is quite confusing until it gets closer to the ride. A lady jumped in line in front of us about 15 minutes of a 60 minute wait. I told her the start of the line began at the bridge. She turned around and barked at me with an “ I have a baby, you don’t have to be so fresh!” We decided after those two encounters to leave early.
Decided since we did so much on our first AK half day, to rest and get to the park later today until close. Coming from WA my kids are appreciating a relaxing pool morning in the sun. HS tomorrow before home.
Overall having a good time, but honestly surprised by attitudes and crowd levels. Lots of larger groups. We will not be returning to Disney until entrainment is back. My daughter joked on Soarin how that’s the only fireworks we will get this trip. They are definitely missed. This was a postponed 2020 birthday/graduation gift trip. I would not recommend that any once in a lifetime folks consider going until normalcy returns.
