We got in before this sign appeared. It was a bit crowded; maybe the last non-weekend Christmas Vacation day is not the best time to choose to hit a major theme park.
I think we made it on 4 rides, which reduces the per-ride price to just under $16 per person. Geez! Even the FastPass system was working against us - we tried to get FastPasses for Space Mountain and Indiana Jones both, but the return times were already 6:30 pm on both - before lunch! The wait for Space Mountain was 85 minutes, so we bagged it, but we did stand in line for Indiana Jones (only 55 minutes there).
The new Pirates of the Caribbean wasn't all that different - Capt. Jack Sparrow appeared in several of the scenes in amusing places, but otherwise, it was pretty much the same ride as always. It conveniently broke down for us in the area where all the buildings are on fire, so I got some (non-flash) pictures and tried to shoot a 1-minute video.
Best ride of the day? The holiday version of the Haunted Mansion - they'd changed out the audio and a lot of the audio-animatronic ghosts and did the whole thing with a Nightmare Before Christmas theme - it was way cool, especially for my daughter, since it's her favorite movie of all time.
We catch the ship tomorrow - whether I'm able to post after that or not entirely depends on how many pounds of flesh Princess Cruises wants in exchange for Wifi access.
