Photopass Day 2017 // Floridians Guide

On August 19th I went to my first PhotoPass Day at Walt Disney World Resort. I am going to talk a little but about the rare characters you could meet and my experience I had that day. Now if you are really, and I mean really, into meeting characters and that is a huge deal for you then this is your day. But the lines were ridiculous. I mean people were lining up for 3+ hours to meet some of the characters. Now the event was in all four theme parks with characters that you usually will never see in the parks. I was really excited for the day but not realizing how busy it was actually going to be. Now to be fair I am that annual passholder who won't wait longer than 30 minutes for any attraction. But let's get into the photos I did get to do on the day.

At Hollywood studios they had the Villains in a special area (where they had club villain awhile ago). I got to the park about 10 minutes after park open and the lines were already really long for the villains. The Evil Queens line wasn't too bad so that was the villain we chose. Now the Meet and Greet is really fun with her (I'm sure with all the villains) and the photos came out great. We only ended up waiting about 20 minutes but I heard as we left the villains were at 3+ hours for any of them. This is why we only got the Evil Queen.

Also at Hollywood studios they had a special photo pass spot where they photoshopped the Evil Queens cauldron with the poison apple in the your hand. I was disappointed in how the photographer had the exposure all wrong for the photos and everything came out really bright. I tried fixing them but it was really difficult. If they have someone doing photos outside they should at least know how to fix the exposure and white balance.

Mushu was at Epcot with Mulan and oh my goodness was I annoyed about how this line was. They had no real flow set. up and they had 20 minute breaks. Which I understand they need the breaks in the costumes but on a day like this they should of had two and had the line constantly moving. No one was saying how long the line would take and it ended up being about 2 hours or more to have a 30 second interaction with character. So I honestly would not do Photopass Day again. The lines were crazy and it just seemed a little unorganized. I am happy with the photos I ended up getting but I don't think it was worth half of my day to get these three pictures.

Shanghai Museum & Chinese Buddhist Temple // Travel

I went to Shanghai a few months ago and I wanted to create some posts about the experience. The first day we were day we had a guided tour into Shanghai. Our first spot (the photo above) was the Shanghai Museum. This was a very busy museum and inside was so beautiful and they had so many different rooms full of history. It was really amazing and our tour guide was full of lots of information. I did this tour because I really didn't know anything about Shanghai besides the new Disney Park was there. I really love learning about the difference in culture and understanding their history of their city. The next stop he took us to was a Buddhist temple. Oh my goodness it was beautiful and amazing to see all the people coming into pray to the different gods. I also think it was amazing to see different tour groups from all over the world coming into here and being peaceful and respectful of the religion. I really got a full understand of Buddhism and I have to say it is an am

Shanghai Disney

One of the really unique things they have at Shanghai Disney is the Alice in Wonderland maze. The big attraction is the big queen of hearts head in her part of the garden. It's a really simple and fun attraction to do in the park. It is located behind the castle in their Fantasy Land. Obviously, the big talk of Shanghai Disney is their Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Let me tell you I could just ride it all day long. It is honestly mind blowing and I have never experienced a ride like it before. I was lucky enough to ride it twice in the same day as well as the Tron Lightcycle Coaster. However I do prefer the pirates ride over the tron. ride. The castle is so huge and beautiful and I had to put a picture of me in front of it. Now below is the video of my day there minus the Royal Banquet Hall which I will do a separate post on. I just would like to warn some travelers about some of the things I noticed there. Shanghai Disney people do not really under stand line

Meeting Maxwell Glick and Jon Cozart after the Disney sing-a-long after being on stage with them during a Tangled song and being in the front row dancing with them, two very sweet gentleman and I'm so happy I got to meet them and getting some youtube advise from Mr. Cheezypop himself! At the Charity ball I got to meet Ty Simpkins who is from Jurassic World and the Insidious films. He was also very sweet and nice of him to come out of the V.I.P area to interact with his fans and take photos for free and have nice conversations with everyone. That same night after the dance was the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child midnight release party! Potter Puppet Pals did a show, there was real life wizard chess, quid ditch matches, costume contests, being sorted by the sorting hat, and much more to do. It was so much fun and of course getting the book was icing on the cake. Then I got to meet Pemberly Digital! Frankenstein M.D., The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, and my p
