1st Feb Our last day

We was up early again this morning for breakfast, Kyra yet again wasnt interested in ceral she just wanted to see Pluto, so we waited for him then had something to eat. We went back to the room i finished the last of my packing and told my parents me and Kyra was off for the day and that i would meet them outside the train stating at 6.20pm.

We got the bus and wandered around the the front entrance of the Disneyland Park, soaking up the beautiful surroundings and hoping Kyra would get to say goodbye to Mickey. My orginial plan was to see Mickey then go to The studios and watch Animagic again and see there parade and meet some characters but that plan went out the window.

Well we was waiting for the park to open when we saw Tigger, Kyra was calling his name and he was going on at the CM's to let us in, he is quite a comedy act :lmao: I was just standing there with Kyra in her buggy when a CM said would i like to go in, i assumed we was being let in early it was only when i noticed noone else was coming in i was thinking :confused: Kyra was playing with Tigger at this stage, they was having a jumping competition which was so funny to watch when the CM said we was being made "Family Of the Day" i was gobsmacked tbh thinking why pick us :laughing: She then got Tigger to sign a certificate saying that Kyra had opened the park and she then told me Kyra would get a large photo with a character and vip passes for Fantasy Land and a reserved spot for the parade, also front row for a show of our choice and i opted for Lion King as we hadnt seen that yet. i was proper chuffed. Kyra then said goodbye to Tigger and we went to meet the CM who took us to see....Minnie lol, Kyra got to spend more time with her then the other guests queing up to meet her and we got a very large photo of her and Minnie which was really nice.

The weather was horrid it was chucking it down, we went to Fantasy Land and bumped into Eeyore and Peter Pan. Then we went back to see Pooh Bear and then we went on some rides and then got a bite to eat at Caseys.

We then went over to the POTC ride which was ok, im not sure what i expected from that tbh but it was ok. We was going to then go watch honey i shrunk the kids but my feet were soaked through so we went and had a look in the castle before watching the Character Express go by. Then we made our way over to the Videopolis to watch Lion King and Kyra was dancing away and got quite a bit of attention from the bongo players

After the Lion King show we went and saw the character express again, they didnt come off the train as it was still raining but it was good to see all the characters. After that we went and sat in some shelter and people watched for a while before Kyra said she wanted to go back to Fantasy Land.

After killing time there we went and got our spot for the parade, after the parade had gone past us i rushed us up to where the parade ends so we can see it go past again. After that we killed more time doing random stuff i ended up buying myself the 2008 calender,a photo album and the 2 disc cd as im obsessed with the "Just like we dreamed it" song

I went and picked up the photo of Kyra and Minnie from City Hall then it was time for Candleabration, i was a bit a naughty here, i claimed our good spot behind the rope but had kyras buggy in front of the rope :rotfl: it was only when all the characters came over to Kyra did the CM try and tell me off, i told her i wish i could move back but i cant (which was a lie) and she just looked at me and shrugged her shoulders lol. I was making sure my DD got the best of the last day there and im glad i did what i did because Kyra got to give them all a kiss before we left.

We then went to meet my parents, we checked in and got on the train where Kyra was so tired she cried the whole way home. I got home put Kyra to bed and tried to warm my toes up :rotfl:

Overall, the trip was amazing and i cant wait to go back in September. It really was just like I dreamed it. I spent alot of time in Fantasy Land, but it didnt bother me i did all the rides in the 2 parks once which did me just fine. I loved taking Kyra to see all the characters and shows as the look of her face are now memories which will last forever.:lovestruc


Im going to add some more pics in the middle of the week :) Sorry if i bored you all and rambled on a bit :thumbsup2

Your trip reports are great!!So pleased you had a great time...It really is wonderfull seeing little one's reaction to characters. our DS was just 20 months when we last did WDW & we have some great pics/memories even if he won't remember!!:wizard:
That said, we are off to WDW again in October & he is already very excited!
Me & DH are going to Paris for a long weekend next week(7/8/9th Feb) & are 'sneaking' off to DLP for the day..Naughty of us but it will be great to have an 'Adult' visit too!:lovestruc
It looks very rainy on your pics, was it VERY cold?Just wondering what to wear!I feel the cold so much I'm considering buying thermals for our trip!!:confused:

It was freezing when it rained, but i didnt let it get me down. Kyra had thermals on but i didnt. I would say wear some decent footwear lol.

Jackie ive always been a secret Disney addict ;) but now im not going to keep it a secret. Im proud to say i love Disney even if my friends think im a loser and as they say "need to grow up" lol.
