I'm back with another update.
Monday was EMH AK
We headed straight for the Safari ride and was very confused as the wait time at 8:05 was 40mins!! A quick chat the the CM and he advised it didn't oped till 8:30 but we could get tin line now. We did and we're on the 2nd truck by 8:25, it took a while to complete the safari trip as those cheeky giraffe kept on stopping in the middle of the road!
By the time we had finished it was 9 and we had a FP+ for the safari again. We didn't want to ride again so stopped at the FP kiosk and a CM changed it for the Dinosaur later in the day. We had breakfast booked for 9:50 at Tusker House but checked in early. We got our picture taken with Donald and realised we had forgotten the PP+!
I explained that it was back at the hotel and the photo guy said to write the time and location down and when we got back to the hotel, go to the photo pass desk and they can add it on.
We were seated very soon after that and went for food, it was good, very good, the characters came round, DD2 still a bit unsure but we did manage to get the family picture with Donald.
When the picture pack came round I explained again the situation but the guy asked if I had taken a picture of the PP card, yes I did, I showed it to him and he said he will go sort it out and be back, he came back with the printed pack and gave it to me!!
After this we went to EE, we had FP+ for this but also grabbed a regular FP, DD10 rode it for the first time and with rider switch she ride 4 times, now we didn't have our PP+ card so had the CM write the number of each photo down and we had to get them added on at Guest relations in any park within 48 hours.
Next we headed to Dinoland and rode the 2 main rides there a few times, then onto Nemo. I wasn't going to FP+ this but glad I did! we got right at the front center next to the stage! great seats. DD2 loved it.
Off to ride Dinosaur, another forts for DD10 and she liked it so rode again with DH. Again the photo numbers were written down to be added on.
We stopped and had ice cream before heading out as it was getting on a bit and we had 50'sPT at 5:20.
Bus back via BB,a quick stop at reception to see if they could ring DHS lost and found as DD2 lost her MB last night there! They suggested that if I were going there now, to ask myself. No worries, I will. Well back in the room, DH was looking for the PP card and he found it along with the missing MB!
Quick change and off out again on the boat to DHS, I stopped at the photo shop and gave the girl the numbers of the rides from AK and she noted what we were wearing and who was in the photo and that they should be on in 48hours(I've not checked yet!)
Tea at 50'swas great, pot roast was yummy and the pork chop was nice too.
Rode Star tours then went home.
Tuesday was Epcot, it had EMh and I had planned to get there for 8 but after seeing how busy it's been I just left it and waiting until our breakfast time at Norway, I had FP anyway for TT and Soarin.
We headed out about 9:15 and got to Norway 9:30,checked in and encountered our first wait, got seated about 10:10.
Food was just ok. I never got to the pastries and fruit, our server never brought plated for our hot platter and he filled my tea with coffee!!
The princesses we're good, lots of interaction, but for the cost (
free dining thank goodness) I would not pay oop.
We rode the ride in Norway and by now it was time for our FP for Soarin, I asked DD10 if she would prefer to go round the worlds instead and to her kid cot with DD2, she decided on this so I cancelled Soarin.we did most of the worlds, taking time to look into them and see things I've never noticed before like the little warriors in china and the bazaar in Morocco. We had to miss England and Canada and the FP+ for TT was almost up.
After TT we had a cool frozen drink then went it inventions then SE, I hadn't done SE in years and it was actually quite good, we all enjoyed it, especially the end!
We had to start walking back to the hotel now as we had a car pick up from the Dolphin, walked over and was given a Ford Escape, new, clean and car seat was decent. Luckily the valet guy knew how to put it in!
Another quick change and drive over to the Poly for 'Ohana. WOW. That's it WOW. Best meal so far, DD10 didn't want anything so they brought her a plate of chicken nuggets and fries. DD2 loved them too!
I had a Lapu Lapu, always wanted one, don't think I would get another at $15 a go!
Walked down to the beach and the kids had fun in the sand, saw the electrical water parade then the Halloween fireworks, they even pipped the Halloween music through.
It was 10:45 now and this is waaaaaay past our bed time!
DD2 fell asleep in the car and we went straight to bed.
Today has been a shopping day, we didn't wake till 8:20, now this is late for us!
Grabbed breakfast after a lazy wake up and headed to Prime Outlets in lake Buenavista. Saw a few things we liked but we always try and wait till we've been to the one on Idrive and macys in the mall at mellenia.
I got a top and dress from DKNY, $53 from $200, DD2 got a winter coat from Ralph Lauren $60 from $100, and some fudge! Which was amazing!
DH saw some jumpers and a coat in RL so cheap aswell, one jumper was $70 -40%, there giving them away.
Then DH was in TAG and wanted to show me a watch he saw, big mistake as now I have see ad watch! We've already got tags but in need of an upgrade I think. Let's see if we get them!
Headed out and to
walmart next as DD10 wanted more monster high, she did get the headless horseman in toys r us which I haven't seen over in the UK plus a few others I said we would go back for, again, so cheap.
Back home and we had dinner at Garden Grill In Epcot. Made it just in time, again another nice meal. Rode Soarin then headed to morocco to view illuminations, it was a great spot, no one in front of us, DD2 was not too keen on the noise but lasted till the end. Bought her a Duffy bear for being brave but she fell asleep so she'll get it in the morning.
Off to bed now as it's MK EMH tomorrow, might just get there for 9 when the FP+ starts.
Post again soon. Happy Halloween.
