Lou... 3,118 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Although no park closings have been announced yet, lines at the parks for the most popular rides are approaching 2 hours.Ya, sure, I'm waiting in line for 2 hours for a cheesy ride.Those people are out of their minds.

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 that's why I prefer February and other off-peak times.....no thanks to the wait times. That being said I would love to be at the Fort today! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I haven't missed the parks at all. There's so much going on, I'm not sure when I'd have a chance to do anything if we had gone to the parks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Space Mountain, 2 hours and 5 minutes.I have an idea for another FHF auction. LOU RIDES -Lou rides EPCOT - (Soarin, dumbo. spaceship earth, Gran Fiesta, Maelstrom)Lou rides DHS (TSM, Star Tours, Great Movie Ride, Back Lot Tour)Lou rides AK (Safari, River rapids, Tough to be a bug, Triceratop Spin, Wildlife Express Train)Lou rides MK (Haunted Mansion, Dumbo, Carosel, Peter Pan, Railroad, Pirates, Buzz Light year, Barnstormer?, jungle cruise, Magic Carpets, Winnie the Pooh, Tomorrow Land Speedway, People Mover)Lou will notice that I omitted anything that might be too intense a ride or anything already included in an auction.

alexwyattmommy 181 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I am up for Lou auctions. If I win, maybe it will be incentive for my husband to let us book another trip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I have an idea for another FHF auction. LOU RIDES -Not enough free time to do all those, but for the next FHF fund raiser sometime in early 2013, I will be asking certain Fiends to donate their time to do some of those and other activities with the highest bidder.None of them know this yet, so keep it a secret.Fishing session off the dock with a certain Fiend.A covert mission with a certain Fiend.A behind the scenes session into what it takes to keep FF.Net running with a certain super geek.An interview with another super Fiend as to what makes them tick. A short article will be required to be written for this one.A highly discounted lunch with a certain Fiend at the Sanaa restaurant.A Fort scavenger hunt with nice Disney related prizes going to the winner.These and other activities hopefully will be up for bid.Feel free to submit any other ideas.

Lou... 3,118 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Well, the 4th at WDW came and went and as usual, it had it's issues.My first run from Epcot to the Fort at about 7:30pm, was what we call a "Wllie Willie", WL and FW.I quickly found out what the rest of the night was going to be like, traffic at the MK the toll plaza was backed up to the Epcot exit, off World Drive.Upon entering the Fort I noticed that the overflow lot was full and there they were, freeloaders. So much for restricting access.I returned to Epcot empty and got a return trip to the Fort. What the Fort, we don't repeat runs. I think a higher power wanted me to be at the Fort. Once again, a massive back up even though by this time they closed MK off to new guests. So those hundreds of people in line were turned around. MK was opened to new guests later in the night.How clueless do you have to be to expect to be able to get into MK at 8pm on the 4th. I wanted to yell out the window, hey genius, what were you thinking? But that wouldn't be magical and I only do magical things, ya right.Anyway, I stop at Fort for the second time and this time I picked up 2 riders.Illuminations was at 10 and it took forever for people to get out of the Epcot parking lots afterwards, my family among them. I warned my wife, but what do I know, she did it anyways. It took her 90 minutes to get home. It's normally a 15 minute ride.The rest of the night was slow going until we got everyone out. People were very patient, polite, and grateful when I stopped at their bus stop to pick them up.We'll do it all again Christmas and New Years eve.
