You couldn’t hear me, I know, but I did call Briar Rose before you revealed it as Jamie’s bound for the day! 😂 In some ways, it’s a shame that we’ve all _just_ learned how to work Genie+ to get the most out of our day in the parks, only to have it replaced with a hybrid of old and new. Having said that, I’ll take literally anything over virtual queues! I think Haunted Mansion is a definite trade up from Small World, as Lightning Lanes go ⚡️ I’ve always heard Tony’s described as being very ‘mid’, but the food doesn’t look bad at all. I think maybe it’s just the fact that there are so many more exciting and higher class dining spots in the Magic Kingdom, and Tony’s just gets lost at the bottom of the list. In any case, it’s super cool that you can see the parade from across the restaurant! I love seeing a little bit of love for Tom Sawyer Island, too. I’m not sure I heard you right…is it a Mystery Mine, Arie? 😂 The WDW railroad is one of those attractions that you simply _have_ to do at least once! “Beyond Big Thunder” has everyone excited, but until they start actually breaking ground, I’m not holding my breath - too many blue sky pitches and not enough actual construction 👀 Also, did I just hear Peter Pan lose a fight to his own shadow? Haha come on Pete, you’re better than that! Looks like you had a full, fun day at MK and the ideal no-crowd view of the fireworks, too! Great video. ✨
It really is a shame that they’re changing the system after just getting a good feel for it, the hybrid version feels weird and definitely still doesn’t seem to check the boxes for what a good “fast queue” system could or should look like. But I will also take anything over virtual queues as they’ve very much overstayed their welcome and I never liked them in the first place! We’ve always heard Tony’s was very mid too, or even bad - like the Olive Garden of Disney 😅 but we’re people that actually don’t mind Olive Garden every once in a while and it kinda hits the spot, and Tony’s was much the same; slightly better tasting than Olive Garden, but a little more expensive (and no breadsticks and chicken gnocchi soup). Being in the Magic kingdom and having the parade views though definitely elevated the experience though and we had a great time at Tony’s! It’s not somewhere we would eat regularly, but would definitely go back and had a great experience. I think it’s still a bit of a mystery on what type of mine we explored 😂 that mystery mine sure was mysterious. We were definitely glad we did the railroad and wanted to get on it really badly! It was cool to see where the potential expansions could be, even if things haven’t been super concrete! I’m also skeptical of all the plans and blue sky idea tossed around, but it sounds like at this point I’m fairly confident that there will at least be SOMETHING coming behind big Thunder, even hearing now there might be an expansion behind the plot of pirates too - but definitely still lots of questions of the “what” and “when” and desperately craving something solidified. I feel we’ve got a bit better of an idea of changes coming to animal kingdom and have a bit more detail there, but so much is still up in the air! It was such a fun day at Magic Kingdom! Always nice to end with some fireworks too ☺️ Thanks so much for watching and leaving us a comment! 😊
