We got into the park a little after 9am, and the line for the incredicoaster was already a few hours long. We decided to go straight to the fast pass machine so that way I can get a FP and hoping it will be with in the same time frame as my Mother in Law and Matthews Max pass, which we ended up with a 10 min overlapping window... so we went for it...

We walked around a bit on the pier before we went and did Guardians since my MIL had yet to experience it. We got Hit me with your best shot if you were wondering. it was only a 35 min wait at best, compared to last summer when we waited 4 hours on opening day.

They have so many details everywhere that we really need to go and really check it out when its not so crazy. The pier that is... I know that wont happen for awhile so we will be taking Pixar pier in pieces if you will. The main objective on Saturday was really to get to ride the incredicoaster which our mission was accomplished on that front. On one visit we will try the food and possible the pal a round... but lets be honest all of this is the same Attractions just a new theme, one to Better incorporate the whole Pixar universe and giving it a home.

Even though it was busy we didn't see anyone that we know. But as we were leaving the pier after our Ride on the Incredicoaster we did see the people behind the Fresh baked youtube channel as well as Jake from Adventures with Jake, he was in the standby line for the coaster while we were zipping up the FP line. I know that our friends the Parkhopbears were there in that same time frame and we still seemed to miss each other. Go check out their video of their time at the Newly Opened Pixar pier... I included their channel to the side here...

Overall I think that Disney did a great job of giving New life to the Pier... It was a lot of people on Saturday but I heard there was even more on Sunday. I suppose the Lower Tiered passes were blocked out on Saturday and that is what caused the influx on Sunday since they are wanting to check out the New Rethemed pier that is opening in pieces... I cant wait to try the food, we figure when it dies down a few Weeks or months...

As always we know that there are many vlogs and Blogs out there and I appreciate you taking the time reading my thoughts and sharing...

Thank you...

I love how the Entrance Signage is so Spiffy...

Now let's be honest with ourselves, we have already said goodbye to Pieces of the original paradise pier once before and now it is really getting a new name and being rethemed to Pixar pier... So in reality we as Disneyfans have been down this road before. I mean this really isn't anything new at all is it? Remember when the fun wheel was the sunshine wheel? and when Screamn' had a Mickey in in the Loop? You don't? See I do. I was there before opening day. I was a Cast member back in 2001 and to be honest I was able to go during the preview back in December of 2000. I remember when there was no Bugs land or Cars land, No little mermaid. I remember when they were marketing the park to teens and Young Adults, they didn't want any Disney Characters walking the park. So when Disney started to get feedback in from the guests that it wasn't family friendly they had to do something... Its tough to be a bug was an original for opening day, but that was all. Where parts of cars land sits is where the farming section was for DCA. I bet you didn't even know or remember when DCA even had its own version of Supreme Scream, of course it was aptly named the Maliboomer.

And as it is great to remember DCA, Paradise Pier 1.0 we have to remember we have to continue to move forward, as said by our favorite Uncle, Walt. Am I sad to see Paradise pier go, yeah a little, I mean lets be honest it is only in the name not really anything else... I mean they are repackaging the area and adding a thing or two here and renaming a few things... Disney is always revamping and reevaluating their needs and the guests needs and wants... So, they have to stay relevant and innovative to help to spark the imagination of the younger generation that way the innovation can continue on...

Oh and who can forget when we had a burger invasion (McDonalds) and an eatery called Pizza Oooh Mow mow? Change is Constant, that is the one thing we know. So farewell to Paradise pier and cant wait to see you Pixar Pier... Look forward to the new Theming... See you all beautified in June 2018...
