    You’re right, closing Animal Kingdom at 6:00 is just wrong. I understand if they want to close the part where the animals are, but Asia, DinoLand, Pandora, and Discovery Island could stay open longer.

    • @JollyGreenGiant94
      @JollyGreenGiant94 Před 17 dny

      The animal trails can stay open until 6:30 right now and the Safari until 7:45 so it's not an animal welfare decision

    That beginning intro with the bouncy tune and sound of a soda filling up a glass never ceases to make me smile! It always makes me so excited for the video! SUCH a cool tip about the Landry's card 🥰

    We got an in-show exit off our final Splash Mountain ride at Disneyland. We had just come down the big drop, so we got to walk through the final show scene with the riverboat - all the animatronics were still moving but there was no music or dialogue, so all you heard was the squeaking of the figures moving. It was AWESOME.

    Thanks for the awesome video. Always enjoy your reviews. Hope you are coming to DL in CA for Oogie Boogie Bash. It seems like it’s been a minute since you’ve been to DL. Hope you get to eat and review all the new restaurants at Downtown Disney when you are there next!

    I was evacuated on Test Track. We had just headed outside and stopped half way around the turn. Pretty neat to see backstage. But sat in the blazing sun for a bit before they came to get us

    Thank you Kristen! It looks wonderful but I actually feel that the prices at Yak and Yeti are actually signature restaurant prices. Thank you for featuring great dishes. Be well!😊

    We got stuck many many moons ago on the old test track. They shut it down and let us 20’ from going inside. We were there 10 minutes or so. Got soaked, they were shocked when they started back up and we came in.

  • @WanderingwithKristina-ki4rx

    We got evacuated from HM and got to walk through the cemetery, and Big Thunder Mountain. It was so cool.

      I've done a behind the scenes tour of Haunted Mansion & that was one of the coolest experiences ever! I got to walk through the ballroom & everything. If I didn't experience that Haunted Mansion would for sure be on my list of dream evacs

  • @Dolewhipsandmagicbands

    Yes, I’ve been evacuated office splash Mountain many years ago there was a log in front of us right before we got off full of heavier, set people and they were bouncing up and down and thinking they were funny and our log ran over there and their lock tilted up in the air so they were all halfway deep in water Took them about a half an hour to find us

  • @colleen1583

    My all time favorite place to dine at Animal Kingdom. Everything is wonderful. My son ordered the fish special and was very surprised to get the WHOLE fish. What a photo op!! He said it was so good.

  • @kristanewcomer2741
    @kristanewcomer2741 Před 17 dny

    Kali River Rapids is the worst Evac. We were in the raft ready to be dropped into the water for the ride part. When the ride stop and they drained the water we knew we were getting off but what we didn't realize is they have to call the fire depending for that raft because their Evac steps do not accommodate where the ramp on the side goes back down before going into the water. We sat in the hot sun in August for about 45 minutes as a thunder storm was getting ready to roll in. Once the fire department got there we literally stepped over the side and out but the cast members were not allowed to do it that way without the fire department. We unloaded the raft in just a few minutes ugh! It was an experience. To this day everytime we try to ride Kali it is either down or goes down while in line. That was the first time we made it that far. My kids were so disappointed. Hopefully next time.

    Evacuation off RnRC. We are about to enter the loop. They had to back all the cars off the loop so we could exit the ride.

    • @wrightdownmainstreet
      @wrightdownmainstreet  Před 16 dny

      Now that I think of it I have been evacuated off of Rockn too! We had just left the station & were waiting for the launch so not sure if that really counts. Didn't get to see anything cool

    Love Yak and Yeti! Also, I've been evac'd off of Haunted Mansion and Guardians and Tower of Terror. All amazing but Guardians was actually kind of scary. We had to ride to the evac area in the dark with no music or screens. Then walk down six flights of stairs once they securely locked our vehicles onto the track. It was quite the experience. You come out of the building behind Epcot

    • @wrightdownmainstreet
      @wrightdownmainstreet  Před 16 dny +1

      Crazy! I have gotten stopped on Guardians to where all the lights came on & all audio was off. We sat at the lift hill for a few minutes before continuing motion with lights on & audio off. Finished the ride like that then got to ride again. It was really cool

  • @debbiewroe5388
    @debbiewroe5388 Před 17 dny

    I was evacuated from the Tower of Terror once. The last time I rode Everest, I sat for THE longest time looking at that broken track section. I really thought we were stuck. But it did eventually take off. I'd love to see Pirates or the Haunted Mansion with the lights on...just curious, I guess.

    Hi Kristin! We just ate at Yak/Yeti on July 4th to celebrate the hubby’s birthday. I HAD the scallops and they were delish! Every trip has a Yak/Yeti visit and being a Landry’s member is a super bonus! Besides not needing a reservation, we had a $25 Landry’s birthday credit! BTW: it was so nice seeing you on the Boardwalk with Ryan and Shawn 🥰

    • @wrightdownmainstreet
      @wrightdownmainstreet  Před 2 dny

      I think Tiffins burger is better, but the one at Yak & Yeti is good as well. Keep in mind Tiffins burger is only available during lunch

    I was once evacuated off of a ride, I cannot remember the name, at great adventure exclamation exclamation the ride for each car held eight people 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 you got on the ride lifted up on the front and was 90° that you would climb up 100 feet. Then at the top it did a hairpin drop to 90° and you were supposed to come down and the car would roll a go straight. Well, the ride stopped about 15 feet short of the top of the climb. We laid there in the car as if we were astronaut strapped into a rocketship waiting to go off. We were there for about an hour before they came up to us on the elevator and took us off one by one after releasing over our shoulder harnesses. It was very scary because we had to rotate on our back so that we could turn around and get onto the elevator!! no doubt after that experience we went to the hospitality tent!! We were promised season passes, but they never gave them to us!!

  • @crisbush2034
    @crisbush2034 Před 17 dny

    I was evacuated twice. The first time from Matterhorn. The cast members were so funny pretending to erase our memories (like in Men in Black). The other was Splash Mountain (Disneyland), and it was not so funny. First its kinda slippery and second, I use a cane now, which was back on my wheelchair.... so i had a hard time getting out of the boat. Thankfully, by then, my son was an adult and could assist me. This was in 2019... I never rode Splash Mountain again.

    Do you know if Yak and Yeti will seat you up to the 6pm AK closing? Wondering if that is the best use of our park time.

    • @wrightdownmainstreet
      @wrightdownmainstreet  Před 17 dny

      On the app it says the close at 5:55 so I would assume the last res is a little before then
