Cutesy emergency instructions on the hotel room door. The fire escape instructions are described by Pinocchio.

This carousel at Pleasure Island plays a tune *very* similar to the ‘Golden Saucer’ music from FF7. (Obscure game reference there.) Which makes me wonder if this is some sort of famous carousel tune that inspired the game music?

We rode all the rides very quickly this morning, and were burned out on Magic Kingdom around 3pm. Since we found out only today that our ticket includes free admission to the mysterious Disney Quest at Pleasure Island, we’re now taking a much needed rest at the hotel before heading over to check it out.

The Peter Pan ride, another ‘slow track’ ride is as mysteriously super-popular as it is at Tokyo Disney. We got around the line by using fastpass, but at 50 minutes the line was the longest we saw today.

The Buzz Lightyear ride at Magic Kingdom has not aged well. It’s a frenetic laser tag based ride that scores riders. It’s hard to aim, questionably accurate and woefully low tech, especially to anyone (such as us) that has ridden the 3D Toy Story shooting ride at Disney’s Hollywood.
