Life is a Journey

After riding Mermaid the second time, I got in line for the new store... I had a short line, luckily. Waiting for my turn to enter. Zooming in on the castmembers... I love, love, love this ensemble but it was way out of my price range. These next shots were taken during my various waits in line. The Mickey Wheel is like Sleeping Beauty Castle in that I never get tired of shooting it. I have to say that I was surprised at how quickly the line moved. Second time in line, LOL... Then it was time for a corn dog. YUM! Checking out the queue for Goofy's Sky School... Fast Passes? Really?? Yes, really. The are still testing the vehicles... Oh now I'm back in line for Mermaid and watching the coaster zoom by... What do you mean you've seen these before? No you haven't. I took these while I was in line for the third time, LOL. That pretty much wraps up my day!

I'm and now INSIDE!!! It looks like Ariel has a spotlight on her but she doesn't. They have a very cool effect that a snapshot won't capture. Sorry it's blurry but you get the idea. Looking out the window... Nice tile work. We're getting closer! I can't believe I'm finally going to ride! Close-up of the tile. On the ride now....here's a glimpse of the control panel. OK, here is where I make an admission. My eyes filled up with tears of joy. Yes, I'm a big sap! I rode the attraction  three times so I'm taking the best shots and putting them here for your review. Also, they aren't really in exact order because after looking at these over and over I'm going cross-eyed. I was amazed, amazed, amazed and if you listened to my Shouts, you'd know I'm not exaggerating! Tomorrow's post will have the last of my preview day pics.
