A friend from Arizona took a bunch of pics....but he won't return until after the 1st. The CM let us take all kinds of photos and paused so we could take a group shot.

I think the CM's are taking "happy" pills lately, they are just having too much fun!

Must be my luck...

I've been walked off:

Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Pirates (twice

) plus Roger Rabbit and that's just in the last two visits.....

Big Thunder 101s if I just breathe in the smokefilled air on Big Thunder trail...

Congrats!

Ah, I remember my first walk off ! It was Rocket Rods. I think I was walked off the attraction 4 times total.

My first walkoff was horrible. Pirates of the Caribbean. Took about 20 minutes from the time things stopped to getting off the boat.

Unfortunately the only thing that stopped were the boats and we were right next to those three cats. The caterwauling cats. I suspect that it was worse than being stuck in Small World with the music on would be.

No, getting stuck on IASW would be worse in my opinion, simply because the song is essentially the same throughout the ride. At least with the caterwauling cats, it's typically just a few seconds and you're past the sound when riding PotC.

The IASW incident happened to me probably five-or-six years ago, sitting next to BTD for about 15+ minutes while the ride was backed up. We were stuck at one of the loudest spots in the ride. No one came to save us. The ride was effectively ruined for me, and I shudder to consider riding that again. I've ridden it only three times (that I remember) since getting stuck... one of which was at the recent LoT swanking, and only because everyone else wanted to say goodbye before rehab. /puke

It was, thankfully, made enjoyable by the ever-awesome Mousepod.

It's horrible. I was stuck at a place where they couldn't walk us off..... for about 30 minutes. I've blacked out in my mind where it was, but there were big dropoffs to the left and right of the boat. No flat area to walk out on.

The first 15-20 minutes of the music was torture. Then, thankfully, they turned off the music. It was just creepy with the dolls clicking, clacking and moving. When the ride started up again, they left the music off.

At the end of the ride, there were cast members apologizing like crazy and handing out "Admit 4" Fastpasses.

Add to that we only ended up on the ride after a bunch of "what do you want to do, I don't know, what do you want to do"s. The suggestion was made in jest (never was a fan of the ride), we ended up on the ride and it backed up at the end - the load/unload area was beyond full. I don't think the ride went 101, it was just backed up.
