    1:30pm - 25 minute wait posted for Indiana Jones
    They were just opening the back portion of the queue.. so seems my timing was not ideal.
    1:47pm - Through the merge point and walking the queue. There were a good number of LL returning guests so we moved rather slowly given the small number of people ahead of me.
  • Page Number: 47
    Spotted the Indiana Jones Adventure Toy Story Alien Pizza Planet Truck.
    The queue was not going through/near the office, so I had to ask a cast member and exit the queue to get pictures.
  • Page Number: 48
    This is as close as you could get from the queue today.
    2:02pm - Onboard and setting off on my adventure so about a 30 minute wait.
  • Page Number: 49
    No signs of change at the Jungle Cruise. Wonder what the plan is with the Dig Site.
  • Page Number: 50
    As I was exiting the wait was substantially shorter for Indiana Jones.. bad timing on my part.

    The Pixar Pals Playtime Party has show times in the app.

    This seemed to draw a larger crowd than previous visits for the show. The 2:00pm show was wrapping up when I stopped by.
  • Page Number: 54
    But as soon as the show ended the area became a ghost town.
    Took the opportunity to take some pictures since there was almost no one around.

    The trees along the outside dining area of Flo's have a lot falling out of them right now.
  • Page Number: 61
    I decided to sit out there anyways and just cover my drink and tray.
    The crowds seemed light. I checked and there was still Magic Key reservations available for today.

    4:16pm - Onboard and ready to play, so a 14 minute wait. I miss the single rider queue.
    My score after the Western Town but before the final mine shaft portion
    The final game did not work. The projections were off and pulling the trigger fired only a handful of darts. So my score did not change much.
  • Page Number: 66
    Thought my score was decent given I missed the last game. Mentioned it to a cast member and they were more focused on loading the guests behind me.
    I had in my mind there was a Pizza Planet truck up here, but there is not... oops.
