We were at the gate before it opened and it was fun to people watch while we waited for the gate to open.
I love the Art Deco stylings of the gate.
From there, we went to the rope and watched all the people staying at Disney properties enter 30 minutes before we did. Those are two cast members on the other side of the rope.
Once the rope dropped we headed over to the Spider-Man ride. Here, we had a fun intro before climbing into our ride and trying to blast the spiders that were taking over the lab. I did not do well, a theme that would continue throughout all the shoot-em-up–type games.
From there, we got a bit wet on the Grizzly River Run. We had the raft to ourselves because it was early and a little chilly. It was good we did this early on, though. The ride shut down at some point during the day.
We enjoyed seeing the various characters. Here, Matt does Black Panther with Black Panther in the background, not to mention an Avengers vehicle.
From that point, we stood in lines. We had Lightning Lanes, so we signed up for those. And we payed extra for Radiator Springs Racers to avoid the line there.
It was a good morning.
