\u201cHeigh-HOOOOOOOOO!!!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to go INSIDE THE MOUNTAIN…<\/p>\n

\"Seven
\nThe Seven Dwarfs Mine Train officially opens to the public this week (Wednesday, May 28th<\/sup>), and I was thrilled to happen upon a soft opening of this long-awaited attraction. I\u2019d love to give you a sneak peek with a few of my photos from the day, with hopes that you get your chance to join the Seven Dwarfs inside the mountain soon!<\/p>\n

\"Seven
\nOf course, before I could ride the attraction, there was the small matter of waiting in line. The line begins outside and blends in with the rustic beauty of the forest setting.<\/p>\n

\"Seven
\n\"Seven
\n\"Seven
\nAnd there are plenty of fans to help you cool off a little on those hot days!<\/p>\n

\"Seven
\nOnce you enter under the charming wooden cover, things start to change.<\/p>\n

\"Seven
\n\"Seven
\nThe Dwarfs, of course, spend their days in the mountain, mining for precious gems. You start to see hints of those gems through the interactive experiences that begin to appear throughout the queue! Be sure to keep an eye out for instructions from Doc to help you sort the jewels.<\/p>\n

\"Seven<\/p>\n

\"Seven
\nThen you spend some time washing those gems with help of musical spigots! The woodwork all over this portion of the queue is truly beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"Seven
\n\"Seven
\nBut you really get a feel for what you\u2019re about to experience once you enter The Vault: the barrels full of jewels glisten and glow in this darker portion of the queue. And if you give a barrel a spin\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Seven
\n\u2026 it changes what you see on the ceiling above, as you watch the Dwarfs “spin” into life from the gems.<\/p>\n

\"Seven
\nIt\u2019s almost hard to walk away from the barrels, even though you are excited for what\u2019s next\u2026 the ride!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t take photos during the ride itself (not because you aren\u2019t allowed, but because you\u2019re moving fast enough that there isn\u2019t really an opportunity). However, it may give you some idea to know that if you think this is pretty…<\/p>\n

\"Seven
\n… you ain’t seen nothin’<\/em> yet ;)!<\/p>\n

Here are some of my impressions of the ride itself (for those who don\u2019t wish to know prior to riding, it\u2019s best to stop reading now) :<\/p>\n
