Was at MK Friday and Saturday. It was stunning seeing ROA gone. I love the castle original color being back as well. We’re just relaxing today but a few thoughts as someone who’s not been to MK since pre covid.
- This time of year is simply best to be in Orlando cause while busy I felt the crowds were manageable. Traveled this time of year growing up and I’m glad to see as an adult it’s the same.
- Tron and Tiana’s were new to me. I absolutely loved both!!! Tron was indeed short but the launch is just pure fun. Tiana’s surprised me as the score for the ride was so fun, playful, people in our vehicles were vibing, it felt joyous to me. From what I could tell all was working too but we were also dancing a lot. 10/10 refurb which seems to be an unpopular opinion and I don’t know why.
- Beak and Barrells was not for us. We’re not obsessed with Pirates anyways but drinks were just okay. We got the Port of Call and Barrells Ablaze (I think those were the names), fine. For the hassle and being timed for the experience I’m all set here. More lounges in MK to even out crowds and availability I am down for tho.
- Rode the PeopleMover 4 times each day
- There was a proposal near the castle that was sooo sweet!!! Idk if it made rounds on social media but I really hope it did.
Overall, this is still not my personal favorite of the 4 Disney parks, we also were lucky with crowds mostly, but I can’t deny when Big Thunder is back, Cars is done, and Villains opens, man this park is gonna slap even harder. It’s my BF’s first time in Orlando and he was amazed at all the park offerings. I assured him it’s not the same at the other parks. Great time though!
