It was Tron fastpass time now so off we went.
It was rather busy, but the main queue was still only 15 minutes. As it was a littler busier they had cast members controlling how many people could enter the locker area, this was a great idea as it avoided the big crush.
At this point we encountered the only teething problem of the trip. I mentioned earlier that CM really liked to triple check fast passes here, well the result was a big queue forming in front of the fastpass entrance
This caused chaos as people assumed it was the main queue and tried to go to the front and got confused. There was still no pushing, everyone formed a line, but the “unofficial” line went right across, blocking the main entrance on the far right.
The line went down quickly but I think they need to be moving this check further down the line a little, they check it again once you reach the door anyway!
We were still in quicker than the main queues 15 minute wait so can’t complain.
As we left Tron the heavens opened. It absolutely chucked it down, full on storm this was.
We stood under the shelter for a little while before I decided to make a dash to picked another fastpass.
BIG mistake, I got one, but when I got back I was soaked. Adam was watching the tomorrowland stage while I was gone where there was a big hero 6 meet and greet. “look” he said “That kid was meeting Baymax this morning as well!”…. “no dear…. that’s Hiro” :pgig” I said. Was funny, he was very dedicated, almost like he was supposed to be there wouldn’t you say :P
The starwars exhibit was just around the corner and crucially it was indoors so in a break in the rain, where it seemed marginally less heavy we made a dash for it.
This place was empty, it’s so hidden away behind buzz I’m not sure if people know it’s even there.
Now at this point, I had only watched up to episode 5, so most of this meant very little to me.
I did recognise the millennium falcon cockpit though so I got a soggy shot!
As this place is so well hidden the meet and greets were walk ups. Adam has never watched a star wars film in his life so he hadn’t a clue really
For Kylo Ren he volunteered to hold the “sword” (see, not a clue)
It was rather funny as Kylo was giving him sass in Chinese, we had no idea what was said so he just laughed nervously.
We waited around while the rain started to ease off, before running round to buzz. I liked this updated version, you can see your target and they react when hit as they are screens. We both nailed it but as usual Adam won.
Still raining but not as heavy we headed back to Tron to use the fastpass, and also to grab another one as the time was now nearing a potential evening ride time.
Then we crossed over the park, stopping for some castle photos, not particularly good ones as it was still raining!
we kept out of the rain by riding pirates a few times next, each time we were still stunned as we spotted more and more details.
Next we headed back to Tron to use our fastpass. It still wasn’t really dark enough to appreciate it fully though as it was still dusk, so we grabbed another one for later which would work better.
We were pretty pooped now so we decided to slow the pace and explore a little around Mickey Avenue and the shops as it started to go dark.
Finally the sun set and the castle lights really started to be visible
It’s amazing how small it looks from here, and mickey avenue isn’t even that long!
I think it’s because the gardens in front are rather big
I mean the carousel and dumbo are in there!
We headed towards the castle to try and scout out a good place to watch the fireworks later
Selfies aren’t really our specialism :P
