After a great nap we fastpassed Indy Jones and then headed to The Arabian Coast with intentions of riding Sinbad again. We were just trying to burn some time hoping the park would clear out so we could have short wait times. We detoured to a part of the Arabian Coast we hadn’t visited before and landed in The Magic Lamp Theater. There we saw a really fun magic show. There’s kind of a convoluted story that leads you to the show but the long and the short of it is a less than scrupulous magician kidnaps the Genie from the Aladdin movie and uses him to perform a magic show. The magician’s assistant sets the Genie free and chaos ensues. Live actors played the magician and assistant. The full size stage was split horizontally so the actors were on the lower half and a 3D screen was on the upper half. Clever interactions with the 3D animation of the Genie with the live actors made for an enjoyable show.
The Arabian Coast was pretty.

We’d fastpassed Nemo before our nap so around 7:30pm we headed there. We looked at each other a few seconds into the ride and asked, “is this different than last time?” It turns out that, like the new and improved Star Tours, the Nemo Searider ride had multiple variations featuring different beginnings, middles and ends. This upped my opinion of this ride and explains why the standby line is always so long!
We didn’t notice Hank on our first day. He’s my favorite from the Finding Dory movie.
Crazy cute otters hanging out in the tide pool next to the Nemo ride.
What’s the name of the bird from the Dory movie?Another round on Indy with screaming Japanese school girls. Priceless.
We then headed over to Fortress Explorations which is essentially just a walk around und of a Italian Fort and a cool Ship all with great views of the park. And cannons you can fire.

Then to ride Sinbad and head to Mermaid’s Lagoon to see King Triton’s Concert. We had no intention of watching this show but we had time on our hands so, what the hell. We are so glad we did! The theater (symphony hall) was amazing. It probably seats around 300-400 people in a “theater in the round” configuration and has a super high ceiling. A huge 15-20′ tall animatronic King Triton with large scale puppet versions of Sebastian and Flounder and amazing projections and sets would have been enough to make this show great. That addition of Ariel the Mermaid (live actor) and an incredible fly system that allowed her to swoop and fly (technically swim) all over the theater was frosting on the cake. I’m so glad we saw this show!
From there we grabbed a potato churro (weird savory churro) and went on Jasmine’s Flying Carpets (Dumbo ride with carpets instead of Dumbos) and then another go on Sinbad. We once again had a boat all to ourselves since by this time the park was starting to clear out. We freakin’ love that ride.
The only major ride we hadn’t gone on was Raging Spirits.
It was nearly closing time, the wait was only 10 minutes and we were right next to Raging Spirits so on we go. The short coaster has the only loop in the park. We rode it’s sister ride in Paris and were unimpressed. This was a similar experience. Not awful, a fun loop where you go upside down, but super short. Not worth waiting more than 10 minutes to ride.
So after Raging Spirits we heard the announcement that the park was closing. This was a great relaxing day of fun rides, great views and wonderful shows. Plus I won this at an Arabian game of chance.
One more thing. Every time housekeeping comes through we get a new oragami wash cloth.
