Day 3 - Friday 7th October.
After breakfast we noticed that Pinochio was down stairs doing photos. I have to say that the photographer in the DLH was great, I saw him quite a lot directing the characters, especially with the kids that were a bit wary of the characters.
We headed out to the studios, again I was expecting the park to be really busy but it was fine. Took a lot of persuading to DS that we were just going to do some rides today as he loves the shows here ( planned to keep them for the weekend.)
Headed to cars, shocked it was just 10 minutes, if even that. We all love this ride.
Headed into toy story play land. Parachutes was showing 30 minutes, which I thought would only get worse over the weekend so DH, mil and DS joined the line, ( I am a feardy on this ride, can't cope with this kind of thing since being scared silly on fear fall in universal studios years ago and yes I know toddlers can do this..... Give me the tower of terror any day).
Slinky dog said 10 minutes but by the time we walked up the line, we were in the next batch on.
DH then decided to go on RC racer alone, no one brave enough to join him. He joined the single riders line, it took about 5 - 10 minutes, main line was 25 minutes so beneficial. He said it was really good.
Another shot on cars on way out, this time it was 5 minutes, quiet I think because the parade was on.
Headed back into the main park for our late lunch at Agrabah. Found the set up of paying for food and choosing drinks at the till a bit odd.
There was a lovely selection of food, mainly cold starters, chick peas, beetroot, mixed salads, there was also chicken skewers which DS really liked. Main courses were tasty, moussaka, kebab meat, really nice spicy fish, sausages, meatballs and couscous. Mil thought some of the casserole things looked a bit oily but they all tasted good. DS loved the sausages and the fish.
Puddings all looked nice, DS chose some spicy biscuits and had a bit of my crepe with chocolate sauce. DH and mil had some coconut pie which they both said lovely.
The setting was nice and it wasnt to expensive for what it was, especially with the shareholders discount. It was quiet but then we were late with a 2 pm booking. Would go there again.
DS was desperate for another shot on thunder mountain, not really the best idea on a full tummy....
Tired and grumpy after that we put him in his buggy, we only ever use this at dlp now, and he quickly fell asleep. We headed back to the hotel and all had a wee nap before the party.
What time you could enter the park for
mnsshp was a bit confusing, I asked 2 cast members who advised we should not come back before 8pm, but on the leaflet it said you could do pre entry from 5. Decided we would go in about 7 and go for a swim, unfortunately the pool was closed for some maintenance, not much use so we went to the castle club lounge for hot chocolate before getting ready.
Next up MNSSHP.
