Anna was so amazed by it that she took this picture in hopes it would show how empty it was.
We planned on going on Buzz Lightyear first since we haven't been on that ride for so long. The entrance said 5 minutes, but our wait was probably less. After I schooled Anna and the kids on Buzz, I took Duncan, Liam and Jennan on Star Tours. Anna took Tegan on the rocket ride. The wait for Star Tours was probably 8 minutes. Here's a picture of Tegan in line.
Once the 3 older kids and I were done, Anna took them all on the rocket ride. She had to do it in 2 shifts. First she took the girls.
Then she took the boys. The rockets are way too spinny for me.
Jennan put in a request for the carousel early on, so we made sure to make it over there. We walked right on. Not that there's usually a long wait for it on a busy day either, but it was very easy to sit the kids all together.
We made our way to Pirates, where we walked right on. No one in line in front of us, in fact the boat in front of us was empty. There were a handful of people behind us as we walked on, so we didn't get a boat all to ourselves, but we were in the front, so it didn't matter.
Anna took this shot right as we went down a "waterfall" on Pirates. Jennan's expression is awesome. That's a kid having fun.
Then we walked over to the Haunted Mansion where there was no line at all. It was crazy to see the wait time as 3 minutes. We didn't think they put anything under 5 minutes. We walked right on, they didn't have to pack us in with the other people for us to fit. So nice.
Not pictured is our stop at the wishing well. It was so nice to have the room to walk, and not have to keep the pace of the rushing crowd. We could walk at a leisurely pace, and still make it onto what ever rides we wanted. This was one of those off-season visits that make having the passes so worth it. Not sure we'll have another visit like that in a while with the Christmas decorations coming up later next week. I'm sure it'll get kind of busy again.
