The cast:
Me Disney obsessed, Shopaholic & extremely clumsy (more on that later).
Lee (DH) aka the Mad Hatter .youll soon see why.
8th September 2009 = Day 1
I woke about up about 4am .dont you just hate that! As I lay in bed slowly waking up it dawned on me at how much pain I was in, my left ankle and knee were very sore and my right elbow and shoulder ached, I couldnt straighten my arm I guess I jarred them when I put my hands out to break my fall.
Lee woke soon after and we just watched tv in bed for a while, I dozed off again for about half hour. When I woke again I rolled over to see Lee standing on the other bed he then proceeded to do his best impression of me doing the worm! It was so funny I was crying with laughter.
We got showered and ready then headed to the bus stop about 8.30, we didnt have to wait long for the Hollywood Studios bus.
The main entrance at OKW...
We got in to the park around 9.15am, Lee ran off to grab some Toy Story Mania fastpasses whilst I slowly walked up taking a few photos along the way
Lee came back with the FPs for between 11.15 and 12.15. We were a little hungry so stopped off at Starring Rolls and got a very yummy Cinnamon Roll and bottle of water to share.
We walked down to Rock N Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror both were showing 25 minute wait times, due to my aches and pains I decided to opt out for today and Lee couldnt be bothered to wait on his own so I snapped a few pics.
We looked in the shops ..it was so hot today, mid 90s and very humid and was very nice to be in the air conditioned shops for a while, I bought a Tinkerbell jumper and some pins which I had sent to the resort, I love this service and have used it many many times! We decided to go and see American Idol as we skipped this in December, so we went in to the 11am show. It was ok, the judges were very cheesey.
When we came out we walked over to Toy Story Mania and used our Fastpasses. I love this ride, it is so much fun .I could stay on it all day long. (The TSM Wii game was waiting on our doormat when we got home, its great fun!
) Lee won as always, he scored 161,200 compared to my pathetic 96,900.
As we walked past they were just starting the Jedi training academy, we havent seen this before so we stopped to watch for a while .I loved the little kids faces they were getting so in to it.
Lee was hungry and fancied trying a turkey leg so we walked back down Sunset Boulevard.
Yuck!!!! I tried a little bit but didnt like it, it was very salty and fatty, Lee threw most of it away.

Dont worry I was just saving myself for the big Christmas one at DTD. 
We then decided to leave the park as it was so hot and my ankle was hurting.....my prickly heat rash was also starting to make an appearance. 
I cant remember what but I will post some pics of some of the stuff I bought in a later thread. We were due to pick the rental car up from the Alamo desk in the Dolphin at 4pm (booked through USrentacar), we arrived at 4.10pm and there was no one there? 
I found someone at another desk nearby, I think it was a Disney tour desk and she told me that they close at 4pm!!!! I was so mad as we were not informed when we booked the car online, if I knew I wouldn't have been late. Anyway the woman suggested I call the car care centre and kindly called the number for me on the hotel phone. I explained to them what had happened and they said we could go over there and collect our car, I refused to pay for a taxi so they agreed to come and collect us at 5pm. 
I usually pick up from the Dolphin and have been always been informed that the office there closes at 4pm... 
they even smell disgusting
I mean't to try some this trip but forgot. I did buy some Reece's peanut butter cups and some Lucky Charms but didn't like either of them. Don't flame me!
