Journey Of The Little Mermaid: The Queue

The Under The Sea Journey Of The Little Mermaid has opened. I was able to ride it five times and it was so good. The queue is very long; the longest one I've seen at Disney World. You start outside, then go inside to four different rooms.

A ship with Ariel on it sits in front of Eric's castle.

You walk through here.


Go over a bridge.

Gaston joins Fantasyland

Gaston has started meeting his admirers in the new section of Fantasyland near his tavern. I can't even say enough good things about Gaston. He was amazing, charming, and so dashing. He was fun to talk to and it was fun listening to the conversations he had with other people. After I met him, I stood to the side taking pictures of him. He knew that I was taking pictures of him so in between guests he'd pose for me. He also posed for me in front of his statue. It was funny because I was thinking that I would love to get a picture of him in front of his statue and he posed for me without me even asking. Gaston must be a mind reader as well.







Gaston's statue is displayed in front of Gaston's Tavern. The fountain was a gift to the town from Gaston.


 

Here's a better view of Gaston's Tavern.


 Inside his tavern you can buy LeFou's Brew.


Of course I had to have one in a Gaston mug.

Day Report 28 - Hollywood Studios - June 2012

I left my house a little after 7:00 and I'm not sure what time I arrived at the park. I took some pictures of the Stormtroopers and of Boba Fett.


I was watching Muppet Vision 3D before 8:30.


I went and got on line to meet Chewbacca. I got on line a little after 8:30 and he wasn't due to come out until 9:30. I really don't know why they don't get the characters out earlier. Then it started to rain, which meant Chewbacca couldn't come out yet. He wound up coming out fifteen to twenty minutes later than scheduled.

A Second Look at Enchanted Tales With Belle

I was able to experience Enchanted Tales With Belle again. The line was long and it was hot. I was in the last group that was let in which enabled me to get some better pictures of Maurice's cottage when I came back out.

A very cute new sign has been added. I just wish that Lumiere had a face.


There's also a wait time sign.


When you get to the queue, there's a sign pointing you to the standby line. I think it's safe to assume that the blank sign will be for the fastpass queue.
 

Day Report 27 - Magic Kingdom - May 2012

I left my house a little before 8:00 and was finally walking into Magic Kingdom at 9:05. I headed straight to Merida's meet and greet but it was full. So, I headed to Storybook Circus.

I rode Dumbo, which had about a ten minute wait and then I walked on Barnstormer.
