honestly don’t even know where to start because this trip has felt unreal.
We went to Epcot and paid extra for Lightning Lane (which already isn’t cheap), thinking it would make the day smooth. First ride was Test Track and we got all the way up to being NEXT to ride… and it shut down.
Okay, annoying, but these things happen and we move on. Next we go to Soarin’, same thing — we are RIGHT about to get on, like at the line to load… and then the entire theater breaks. At this point it’s starting to feel like a joke lol!
Then we try the Spaceship Earth. I finally get on, thinking okay at least this one will work… we get all the way to the top and suddenly the lights come on and they make everyone get off and walk down the stairs 😂
So that was day one.
Day two we are heading to Magic Kingdom and the monorail gets stuck… about 50 feet in the air. It was honestly terrifying just sitting there not moving! Eventually it starts moving very slowly and they are over the speakers saying the monorail is no longer working today and that we can’t get to magic kingdom and to get out at the next stop. I wanted to kiss the ground when we got out haha.
Finally get into Magic Kingdom, go to Big Thunder Mountain… and once again, we’re about to get on and a fire starts 😣😣 Ride shuts down all day.
At this point I don’t even know what to think. We spent so much money and barely got to actually ride anything.
Has anyone else had a trip like this recently? Or did I just hit the absolute worst Disney luck of all time? I’ve been plenty of times and it’s always great but I haven’t been in recent times.
