In pursuit of the ability to connect with people,…

The mere thought of being flung into the air made me nervous, but even so, I was too excited to think about it. Even without FastPass, the line for the ride was short and we were quickly herded into the “hidden” room which led us to the disused elevator shaft at the heart of the hotel where we would eventually board the ride.
