After setting my wake-up call for micky last night & being wished ''magical dreams' I lay awake awaiting the call!! NO MICKY :( Got a Mary Poppins song instead & never got micky the whole stay - have to say was a bit dissapointed with that!
DD had also woke me up at 2am to tell me she was feeling better!!
Last time we did a b/fast at AK it was restaurantasaurus a thingy!!!
So Tusker House was new to us. (mum & dad dint come on this meal) had a ADR for 8.05 & were seated quickly - i spotted Neil who we'd had last time & who had made my dads trip & also converted him to a disney holic like me ;) Cant remember the server we had this time but she was nice.
This trip was also for DD's b/day, which was just after our stay but we let her wear a b/day badge, she got a lovely cup cake, a very healthy breakfast eh!

Had arranged to meet mum & dad outside at 9am & we found them easily, we headed for the safari, then EE - i love this ride :) also saw the new Nemo musical - this made me cry I think it kinda hit me i was 'home' then!! We took mum on Bugs Life for the 1st time - she was terrified :rotfl2: We did the raft ride to cool off & boy did we cool off!!
We left at 2pm & went back to pop for a swim :)
We then left mum & dad & arranged to meet them later at MK after our next ADR for CP dinner :cloud9:
As we got to the check-in it was getting very dark & thunder could be heard, we had to wait quite a while to be seated & as we waited i think half the park decided to shelter where we were stood, i was getting pretty fed up stood squashed & we had a good 1/2 hr wait, finally we got in!
Had a very nice server - again i cant remember his name - i ment to write them down :rolleyes: & DD got yet another b/day cup cake & a card from winnie, tigger & the gang :)
The food was lovely - i had read a lot about the red velvet cheesecake but i thought it looked aweful & wasnt tempted to try it so i had the warm apple cobbler :cloud9: OMG this was to die for & i never tasted better the whole trip!!
We met mum & dad after dinner, Spectro magic was running late due to the rain so we decided togo on a few rides, just as we were walking through frontier land Spectro started - we had a perfect view!! The little fish kept coming back to me & winking - i've never cracked off with a fish before!! :lmao:
Now the one thing i'd really been looking forward to was watching wishes with my mum as she had never seen it but because Spectro came on late wishes was almost straight after it. We dashed down to mainstreet & it was packed, i didnt enjoy the spot we stood in, people were walking out of the park & castmembers were waving glowing sticks about & 1 cast member was shouting all the way through it ''this way please'' Now i know they need to get people out safely (but for the life of me how can anyone turn their back on Wishes & walk out!!) but i'd had this little dreamlike fantasy in my head for months how me, mum & DD were all going to link arms & watch the fireworks through my rose coloured glasses! BUT i knew we would be watching it again & i planned on it being a much better view!!
Here are a few pics from outside our room (you can see the lake behind us) before we set off
